According to a recent interview with a UK mother, she would rather her son dabble in a more proactive drug like cocaine than video games.

I guess giving blowjobs in back alleys to score a hit makes you more respectable than stomping goombas, and rotating L-shaped blocks.
Wow.
Wow.. that lady is crazy. She obviously has never touched a video game before. Most likely because she was in an alley way giving head jobs for her prized cocaine.
she should go give a blowjob the a joystick :P
man, she really should try some of these great games. nothing like a good ol' dose of games. Cocaine is stupid and are for biznetches.
still, being addicted to games is preferable over cocaine. games only cost so much :\
proactive.....feh. and i'd rather play 'rotating L-shapes' than suck on a big fat Rod of Little Men.
WTF...that's worse then our father O_O
...
Whoa.

Hehehe. An example of stupid parental guidance XP
wow,the stupidity of parents amazes me.
This anti video game stuff isn't targetted at us, I don't think. I believe it is used as a way to program younger children into believing that stuff, so 10 years from now, more people will believe in this propaganda.
lol. i'll never let my kids have drugs instead of games. GAMES ARE GODLY FUN AND COCAINE SUCKS LIKE A HOE!!!
uh....no offence. but if our kids ever read this, or believe it, i'm going to have to ask you all a favor and slap them ^^
that's a bad mother...
Sounds like a Jack Thompson supporter. Sadly, she's wrong. If she looked at charts, it shows that crime has decreased since gaming came out. Not only that, it went alot lower when Grand Theft Auto came out.
She can do whatever she wants with her kids, but she better know that she's being a retard for doing it.
indeed. she reminds me of the now-forgetten-Jack-Thompson. he caused unncesary problems and even got himself appearing in three or more webcomics. as the jack-ass, offcourse.
that mother is just just another accident by God. he should clean it up ^^
games has NEVER ever made be a bad boy. but it has make me mroe talkative :P
well, actually, thats my personality and the fact i watch too much Tv .-.
Wow.
It seems no one read EITHER of the linked articles.
... 0_o'
Hmm, reminds me of a convo I had with my aunt years before. My aunt said she doesn't mind buying PS2 for her son as long as he don't mix with the wrong people or take drugs.
hmm.............i never mix with any bad people. for some strange reason, anyone with my father's side blood has never mixed with bad people.
smoking, drinking, cheating, stealing. anyone who does any of these or anything bad are typically avoided....even those from our family.
That's good. Mixing with ppl who do those things could cause you to do it too, cause I mixed with some ppl who stole icecream sandwiches out of the school's cafeteria and ended up doing it myself...
oh noes!!! A THIEF!! POLICE!! GET HIM!!!
nah, just kidding. just promise you won't do it anymore :\
stealing isn't good and whenever i do something bad, i feel guilty for a day or two.
