RogueExpat Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Its school holidays and all the kids are off in the internet shops, or anywhere they can get near a computer, playing games and other online stuff, but this just freaked me out and made me laugh in a perverse, what were they thinking type deal. The current fad appears to be this game called Minecraft - a game where you build shit out of blocks in a 3D playing theater. And the programers have programmed all sorts of stuff into it, even animated animals such as cows & zombies. So, I see the kids laughing their heads off and go to look. They had placed a paddock full of cows on their landscape, and set a bushfire going. All the cows were burning and making all these dying animal noises as they were slowly BBQ'd alive. Honestly, is it good for our children to be exposed to stuff like this????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totantaz Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 i don't see a problem with that, Ever been to a big event called a Lan Party ? thousands of young kids teaming up and shooting others kids on the computer for hours and even days straight. If violent video games made people violent, there would have real murders at every Lan Party for sure. All i saw was a bunch of guys having fun and thinking of it as a type of sport, shaking hands with ennemies and all. ever roasted ants with a magnifying glass when you were young ? Enjoyed spraying bugs ? These kids are only playing with pixels. I don't think of it as a problem when they are well taught about right and wrong in home and there lies the problem, bad kids will be bad if they are brought up wrong. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nietzche Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) If this were WW2 boys their age would be doing this stuff for real. It could be worse, they could spend their evenings listening to Kpop Edited October 8, 2012 by nietzche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
