Video games are benifical to people of every age.

"and for the rest of my case he didn't touch so those will go thru this debate and he can't bring them back up." You had three arguments , and i posted three counter arguments.... How can i have not touched them...? That statement makes no sense at all. If it's more sources you want i can give them to you. I just don't see the point in listing countless sources the only point of sources is to prove that you didn't just pull the information out of your but.(it dosn't allow profanities...) Then why couldn't i bring them back up? you make no sense and you made no new point. So please tell me are there any reason's other than those three you keep bringing up? Your sources aren't even reliable. I mean one of them was a freaking word document. I quote "Video games will undoubtedly and inevitably lead to the downfall of all of humanity."...... Right video games are going to be the reason humanity dies? No i don't think so a nuclear fallout is much more likely. Now back to topic. You where right the wii is only one example of a game to help obesity there are more. Such as guitar hero world tour, and rock band2 they offer a drum like controller and it takes allot of calories to play these games efficiently. It does help with obesity, Autism, rehabilitation, and many more. http://www.clemburkedrummingproject.com... "but playing video games will not turn 'normal 12-year-olds into school shooters', said Iowa State University's Distinguished Professor Craig Anderson, one of the world's foremost scholars on media violence." This came from your source which only backs my source up more.(http://www.neoseeker.com...-/) If kids have a violent personality already than it is possible that they might get a little more angry. Video games help allot more than just that. With the constant demand of new games and better graphics, and better computer AI etc. Games are the main reason we have so many computer advancements so fast, and another good reason we keep making graphic cards smaller and memory fit into smaller space etc is because nobody wants an ugly bulky console. Of course you don't know who they are! DUH... Kids are going to be a lot more likely to talk to someone they don't know. Than some person they know from school that there already nervous around enough. I have a friend over xboox live that i gave advice to how to talk to girls. I actually got a girl on there to talk to him. He isn't single anymore.... It does help with social life and can make it much easier to talk to new people. studies have shown games to actually save peoples life. It can help make a surgens hand more steady and it easier fo him to ditingish between the diffrent parts. Haveing the surgean less likely to make mistakes. http://www.curse.com... Some games even help kids with how to spend there money. Like the game runescape. It teachs kids to save money and it takes hard work to actually earn the money(gold in the game) to buy better items so they can kill monsters and other things easier. Such as geting void armour. It takes countless hours to get this armour from which you get through a mini game. You have to kill monsters that come from a portal which you have to destroy(a total of three in the mini game), and to protect the void knight. I'll also site on of the maney caountless ways of making money(more common to the free players of the game) in the game. Which is killing giants and geting there big bones which can be sold for a decent amount of money.This also techs kids to be the best they can because there are lots of people trying to get money this way so there is competiton just like in the job market who ever has the better resume(stats in game) gets the job.(if you don't know what i mean by stats is the levels your chracter has.)(i normally wouldn't go into so much detail but since he seems to think that is a big deal so i did) http://edugamesblog.wordpress.com... You Also don't have to sit around all day playing vidoe games. Yes some people do But there are people who abuse everything in life. I personaly play vidoe games at night when i can't be outside and be active. Many kids do this. Lots of soilders play games to help relive stress when there staioned somewhere. You say "Practicing violent acts may contribute more to aggressive behavior than passive television watching." How maney shows on telvision these days are truley passive? I have countered your arguments sucefully and provided reliable sources(not shady microsoft word links) I have now countered all three of your arguments twice. I have made better points. I have made several diffrent arguments. I have actually countered your arguments not just given links and let someone else do the work for me. "You must look at whose case stood up more. Mine has stood up agianst his agruments. Also you must look at the facts i have given you countless examples and he gives you five." yes i only gave five because i don't need people to argue my point for me. I only gave exampls because you made a big deal about it. I did counter all of your arguments i'm still not for sure where you got i didn't counter some of your arguments. And to sum this all up Video games are timeless and enjoyed by all people of every age and are just as benifical as they are fun. I urge you to vote PRO. Thank you for the debate.
