My father raised me by having me watch nature shows like National Geographic. We even had a subscription to the magazine that I loved to read. That's the kind of thing I'd like to have my children get into, rather than some nonsensical show like Tellytubbies or Barney and Friends. It's educational and very very interesting. At least that's how I remember it always being.
Im starting to think everything on tv is made for brainwashing, like the weird/stupid comercials that are always on. they could be trying to start a subconscious monolouge within the veiwer (possibly implanting false memorys or opinions), it might not be the comercial itself but the mood of it coupled with mood of the comercials after and before. for example you see 3 or 4 happy comercials then u see a add for a govenor, you might start to equate this govenor with happiness, this wouldnt be immediate though it would take several times to sway your opinion (but thats why u see so many of them).
I definitely think excessive gaming at a tender age can make kids totally uniterested in other hobbies, and that they should be more well-rounded in interests.
ok sorry if this totally off-topic of the current state of this thread but i don't have time to read all 11 pages of this thread anyways:
In one of the other communities there is a kid who is 12 trying to hang out with a community who is for the most part 17-25 and are always saying things like COO00000OOCKS!!! and such we don't want to corrupt him but it is pretty much too late we keep hinting to him that we won't let him in the community because he is to young but he just keeps coming back.
What I'm saying is that because of gaming he found/is trying to participate in a community that is completely inappropriate for his age and im guessing that he will be seen as weird by his friends
o one thing I FIRMLY BELIEVE in is that Children should NOT get microphones UNTIL the age of 14 (basically after their voice changes)

Make it idiot-proof and somone will make a better idiot.
problems are nonexistant they are only preceived, and so called problems have deep roots in society that if disturbed could cause more so called problems, but a problem to one person could be preceived by another to be a non problem and by the time people come to a conclusion on how to fix a problem it usually has already either evolved into somthing completly different or has resolved itself, so the people looking to fix the problem end up wasting time on an expired pipe dream while even more problems arise. this is the predicament you have to deal with when u add space and time it is called chaos, and chaos my friend is unresolvable (if we could only freeze time there would be no more problems)
So, based on this, what do you want us to do?

It would not surprise me if they did this. I'd actually be more surprised if they didn't try to utilize it.

Which is once again more a lack of parenting than anything else.

well i used to think comercials were just for basic brainwashing, for people to buy a product, no alternative motives. I also think that some of the best shows on tv have brain washing (what better candidates?)

well b4 i didnt think there was a meaning for commercials besides product brainwashing.
I also had another idea, say you are channel surfing up and down the names of the shows flashing by on the screen all of a sudden you wake up 3 hours later with the feeling u have been violated (less likely but not impossible)ramble.ramble..ramble...zZzZzZzZz....

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Thats what im talking about :D, ive been avoiding reading this thread because of the massive amount of text in the debate.... but when it comes down to it, most people at diablo3.com are gamers, and we all turned out alright?...

look at it this way, a weirdo dosnt think himself a weirdo because he is one(goes for alot of things) so anybody could be a weirdo and not even know it. so if everyones a potential weirdo then are weirdos bad?

You're only a weido if you stray from the masses. And I don't think we are anymore. At least not in Sweden.

I think u know my stance the only cause of violance is lack of drugs and sex. but let me elaborate, the only reason men go crazy is when they feel they have nothing to live for (or they get bonked on the head), if prostitution was legal then they would at least have that to look forward to. As im sure we all know drugland is divided into territorys, each territory sells in those neghborhoods closest to it. In order to gain territory (to sell more drugs) you have to kill, maim, or threaten the others out of their territory. Therefore if drugs were legal you would have no more territorys cause corperations can make and distribute faster and cheaper than a normal drug ring. Also the major reason people die from drugs isnt overdose its that the drug was made wrong, if a corperation made them it would be more consistant.
If drugs were legal alot less people would be in jail (save tax dollars), the efforts that our government puts forth to keep drugs out would no longer exist (save tax dollars), the goverment could tax the shit out of it (less tax dollars kinda). plus everyone would be high:D
