I'm glad we are taking the observations of a 14 year-old as gospel. Spending five hours a day gaming is no different than spending 5 hours a day watching TV, knitting, or playing golf.

Gaming is a relatively new phenomenon and when people, particularly old people, are confronted with something they don't understand, they panic. That's what is happening here.

Hell you might even make the argument spending the time in a virtual world is better than spending it in this shitty fake real world we live in. At least online people are interesting.

Oregon speeders

Speeding doesn't bother me under a lot of circumstances. People going over 100+ mph on freeways I share with them does.

These people are all over the age of 25. Over the age of 25! And they still think something as idiotic as going 105 mph on the freeway is no big deal. That tells me there's a problem.
