Video games are detrimental to the modern day society.

Since this is the last round, I will be closing loopholes and leaving others open for possible future debates. I really had fun debating with Pro, and in the middle somewhere, I think we switched sides and back again. "Sorry to tell you, but you just humiliated and made yourself look like a fool. You claim that you play the wii every day, yet you don't know that there is no multiplayer for Cod3 on the wii? You never bothered to research did you?" I'm sorry, did I say I play Wii everyday? I wonder where I said that. Also, please check your spelling and grammar in future debates. "There is social skills necessary, yes it is possible to communicate by talking in the headset or whatever, but in my 200 or so games that I have played, the people rarely every talk, and when they do, they talk about going to their friend's house. Not much communication eh?" Yet you think video games are detrimental to society. People, even in video games, rarely talk to strangers. "So you call groups of people randomly dispersing and killing the enemies teamwork? ...Congratulations!" So I as wondering, why are we talking about this based solely on your brief experience with COD? "That's about as ever as you will get to one of those dumb games -_-" I do deem this comment worth responding to. "Dragon Age: Origins is an M-rated game, so have fun telling me that children shouldn't be playing M games." I thought you were suppose to be one who argues that M rated games are not for kid... Besides, I can't even if i wanted to. This is the last round. "O, and according to you, apparently seeing FAKE people play FAKE football is so much more amusing than watching REAL people play REAL football, eh?" Especially when there is no football game on. "Also, lots of people play the game BECAUSE the see the sexual ads and hope to see those same content in the game. Not detrimental eh?" I'm sorry, but can you show me statistical data concerning your case? "If the gaming industry is detrimental to the society and it is they that make the games, you think the games won't be detrimental?" So, according to your theory, if an automaker is evil, the car that he makes will have an evil influence on the owner? "Buddy, this ain't math class. Leave your "smart brain" (if you had one you wouldn't be talking crap like this in a freaking debate about the effects of video games) for someone that actually cares. Also, where do you think the "adults" with a child brain gets the ideas from? Video games and TV." I will comment on this with an sarcastic remark. Looks like someone is getting frustrated. "So, in conclusion, I still see that video games can be detrimental to our society especially when people are addicted." Sigh, we never got to discuss the new issues. "p.s. I know this is very hard for you with your big ego, but try not to brag that you go to a "prestigious school" since Stuy was no" Since when did I ever have a big ego? Hey, who says I'm bragging? According to you, I just copy and paste, so if the New York Times says that Stuy is prestigious, then I will copy and paste the words. I again thank Pro for his quickness to respond to by posts and putting up some good defenses. As mentioned Pro, and I will elaborate, in an attempt to save space limits, I shorted some of the URLs for the reference websites. Unfortunately, I did not bookmark any of them, and once i find them again I will post it in the comment section. Once again I thank Pro for my first debate on this website. And I now leave it to the voters to decide which side was more convincing. It has been a great pleasure, and my sincerity to the winner. Cheers.
