It's the people that blame game violence for real violence that get me (Columbine anyone). Good grief . . . I play my games because it's the best way for me to relieve my stress without taking it out on anyone else. Do I harbor rage and anger, yes, but I know I'd definitely lose it if it were not for said games.
That aside, I find it odd that if a man says he's a gamer, he then has no life . . . but if a woman is a gamer, she's still considered worthwhile. Sucks to be a man in this world I guess

Of course, she admits to liking Twilight and is into those trashy romance books that you find at grocery stores. Take that as you will.
Would this be labeled as irony or hypocrisy? I can't tell. XD
As for the topic, I've never had anyone try to keep me from gaming entirely. I'll play 2 hours a day at most. My hands start to cramp up usually or I feel like doing something else.

Original poster, Darkword, and Dellingr, I agree you on this subject.
I've gotten it during interviews from idiot managers who would prefer to wear work/slave shackles at all times. God knows how they pull through life feeling sane, when it's all "work and sweat" mixed with one week out of a whole year for a relaxation period. Then again, who am I to say what they love to do to themselves?.......................
I've been a gamer since I was 3, and an addict as well. I don't like the preaching anyhow, because I have the common sence to stop when I should. Plus, it's extremly ignorant and displays the nay sayer as some kind of human sheep. To me, it looks like they think that what other people say must be the trueth about someone else if it's a popular idea, and that judgeing someone else is 'ok', and that nothing in print or video can lie to or "sway" the public. The mental follower, is really my point. They look like mental followers to me when they preach to me how life is "supposed to work".
Nobody ever cared about how hard I worked or how much I got done, or the fact that I repeatidly had to be ordered to take breaks during work simply because I hate them. I'm going to keep playing WoW because I am having trouble finding work, and I'm very bored. Unlike most females, I really love violence, gore and action. I like the puzzle stuff to, like Myst, Cubis and so forth. I play kids games to, but not sports.
I have played some crooked plot scenes, but wouldn't do 98% of it. Something had to be quite wrong long before they did the violent activity. "Oh no! He's playing one first person shooter game in his entire life! He's going to kill the school!" Oh please! Here you have the rest of us gore goers liveing like decent people. My full fledged delight for sneaky game thieves, could be an example. I'm not doing it if I can help it. I'd rather drown in boiling acid.

Gee wizz, with those comments that I highlighted, and the ton of misspelled words in your post; it doesn't come to as a shock to me that your're unemployed.

Right back at you, grammar nazi. I'm guessing you've never heard of a little thing called dyslexia, which happens to be on this other thing called the autistic spectrum. Now the questions is are you employed?
Yep making 40k a year Mr. White Knight. Yea I know what dyslexia is, a reading disorder. I think you should check into it.
