Columnist calls video games 'crack cocaine'


To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.



A columnist in Canada has called video games "crack cocaine," bluntly proposing to readers: "Don't play video games." Writing for the conservative National Post, Father Raymond J. de Souza (pictured) explained that he "learned the truth" about video games the hard way -- he hasn't touched one after deleting Tetris. De Souza went on to label video games as "dangerous," blaming them for fat kids and missed pockets in time. Just about what you'd expect from "the crack cocaine of the electronic world."

As if approaching Godwin's Law wasn't enough, Father de Souza also insisted that too many games celebrate graphic violence, multifarious delinquency and borderline pornography. We guess Father de Souza will be missing out on the joys of Peggle too, what with Tetris being "deadly enough" for him.

He kind of does has a point if you think about it.

There are so much better things we could be spending our time on than playing guitar hero....

I'm not denying any guilt here either though.

Well for example, a large percentage of young people today do not vote.

Playing video games and things like that sort of make us not really care about more serious issues.

We could be putting our time into more rewarding things is all I am saying.

Like I said though, I am guilty of this myself.

Re: Columnist calls video games 'crack cocaine'

Calling them crack or cocaine though is a little extreme and out there.

Sure they're distracting but they aren't mind and body alerting drugs.
