Sex Drugs and Pimply Teenagers A Positive Perspective On Video Games
When you watch TV, you vegetate. TV is a passive medium, you sit, eyes open mouth open if you are of a lesser stock. You take in all that is thrown at you with only two options change the channel and take a chance that you will something "important"(like the people who were taking a whiz when JR was shot) or you can turn it off. No one turns it off, ever, some people don't even watch it but they leave it on. That is called background noise, just the fact that they do that, shows that TV is fluff with rarely important things on it. Video Games, some challenge the mind, some satisfy a Neolithic bloodlust that is innate in all humans(mostly active in men).

Video games OF ALL KINDS proliferate competitiveness, I'm sure you didn't forget my freak-out in the last paragraph. The key to satisfying the bloodlust is KNOWING HOW TO AIM. IF YOU CANT AIM THE GUN THEN NOTHING DIES, and that's pretty pointless isn't it? So not only does one require a sharp and strategizing mind, one also must have excellent hand-eye coordination. Violence is all over television, most channels show violence and a lot of it is very graphic. There are however some channels who do not show violence, discovery for example. Video games are mostly viole
