"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" is more educational than any video game designed to be educational.

I believe that if I can disprove my opponents contentions/sub contentions, I can win this debate. After all, I do have the Burden of Clash. Let me begin my argumentative testimony by pointing out to my opponent that there are certain aspects of the game that hold falsehood in reality. For example, you are not likely to survive 10+ gunshot wounds, even if you eat a hamburger or you can collect a token to lower your criminal warrants. But I digress to Pro's points. 1) How to Eat Properly: In the game, if you eat something (often from street vendors or fast food places) it will make your health go up. We all know how prone to accidents children are, and may eat something just because they get a scratch or a "Boo-boo". Or when they are just feeling under the weather. When they see that this fails, they may try to indulge themselves in more fast food, hot dogs, etc. 2) On a side note: I wasn't aware CJ could have heart attacks. Now, to be serious. I've never had problem getting overweight in the game, because I was always running from the law after going on a killing spree of innocent civilians because I either wanted to take my girlfriend out or buy some "bling". I found the easiest ways were gambling on horses or just killing people. 2)) If you are too skinny, you can die. But in real life, there is no second chance. In the game, if it teaches them a lesson, is that they do not truely die, they are just charged (100$? ) and sent to the nearet hospital. We all know how expensive health care is and it is NOT 100$. SA is rated M for mature. You state the ages between 6-16, but the ESRB that rates most games states that the minimum age for M games is 17, if I am mistaken, then 18. They learn their first lesson as soon as they pick up the controller with the game in the console: They CAN break the law and get away with it! ! Why not get away with something else the game teaches? The Importance of Exercise: The only thing I can say to this, is who doesn't want buff six year olds? Besides that, they can become overly consearned about muscular growth. When they realize that their bodies likely haven't developed the capacity for the appearance they desire, they turn to drugs like steroids. You also said "CJ will need to be able to get to certain destinations quickly. " For what? Drug runs? Robberies? The Importance of Sleep: Why would a child save the game, and quit just because their character goes to bed? Why not stay up all night and play it? Basic Urban Navigation Skills: "The maps in this game are very intricate and realistic, giving children much real life experience. " Indeed, the maps in the game are specifically designed to be easy-to-read so that mere children can understand it. But are today's maps like this? No, some adults can't even understand maps. Often times maps/atlas's are used to travel long distances. In the game, a long distance takes about 7 minutes, but in real life, a long distance is hundreds of miles! "Why not commit "Grand Theft Auto" and just drive for 7 minutes," children may think, "I can out run the cops. I'll try to flip him over this car or crash him into the semi. Hey! It's not your turn John! Oh, look! You made me get busted! Now I have to start the drug run over! The Importance of Avoiding Drugs: How can you avoid drugs, when you are delivering them? Note that you didn't say USING drugs, just avoiding them. Not only that, but you state that drugs are illegal. Not all over the world and since you are comparing the game to all the ones created all over the world, it is subject to the entire world's reality. RELATED TOPICS AND POINTS: Links/support 1) Children do struggle with obesity, but I have proven this game does not help. I just realized, they are playing the game instead of getting exercise. It must not be a very powerful message, if there is one. 2) "(Weight) will also affect. .. ability in fights. .. " I believe this is a self-explanatory excerpt from your own article. 3) Statistics: 1) . .. Health can be regained by eating food, saving, or picking up a health "power-up" or first-aid kit. (not in real life) 2) Armor counts as an extra "layer" of health. (again, not in real life) 3) Wanted Level : It doesn't go away in real life when you comitt mass murders in front of SWAT with 'god mode' on 4) Same as 3 5) The chart only states the ages between 10-16, and most children go to bed before 10 pm. Not only that, but children 15+ only need 6 hours sleep to function on a normal level. This is only on school nights as well. The chart doesn't even say if some of this children have a sleeping disability either. 6) 7) 8) 9) For some reason, my computer will not open up these files. It was acting strange a moment ago. However, I do not believe that I need to clash any further to discredit my opponents "evidence", because I have effectively clashed and disproven my opponents points or pointed out an obvious, mortal flaw.
