W00T!!!! 50 VISITS!!!!

HURRAY!!!!!
:D


.....I suck.



So, uh, yeah. Some idiot named Bill O'Riley (he's a radio show host; what a moron) is bashing on Video Games, video game culture, and computer culture. Lemme analyze a couple choice quotes for you here, just to give you an example of what type, what calibur of man we are dealing with here....

"American society is changing for the worse because of the machines… In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine…"

True. Well, what follows this is the following:

"Basically what you have is a large portion of the population, mostly younger people under the age of 45, who don’t deal with reality - ever. So they don’t know what day it is; they don’t know temperature it is; they don’t know what their neighbor looks like. They don’t know anything… because they are constantly diverted by a machine. Now what this does is it takes a person away from reality because they’ve created their own reality…"

Uh, look. Taken out of context, it sounds like he's actually supporting the use of drugs, instead of video games. Am I the only one who noticed this? I'm no expert, but at least I know better than to make it sound like I'm advocating drugs. He, who makes his living from being a radio show host, should at least know better. What a moron. And it gets even better;

"it’s going to have a staggeringly negative effect, all of this, for America… did you ever talk to these computer geeks? I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them? …I really fear for the United States because, believe me, the jihadists? They’re not playing the video games. They’re killing real people over there."

So now he's playing on stereotypes? Computer GEEKS?! Okay, I consider myself a computer geek, sure. Can you carry on a conversation with me? of COURSE. He makes it sound like anybody who knows what they're talking about when they talk about computers is unable to function in society. Well, what about Bill Gates, the most wealthy man on earth? What about him?

Yes, yes I have carried on conversations with computer geeks. And your point is what? I really don't see a point to you insulting people, slutty mc slutbag.

Also, he says this:

"The have-nots are growing. Why are they growing? Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being deemphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that…. Now you have the “knows” and the “know-nots”, because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines….. you’re not going to know anything…. You’re gonna fail."

Except, of course, in the inevitable case of a zombie apocalypse; the computer nerds and resi-evil fans shall inherit the earth.
