Gaming Addiction

[Arcell]

People with addictive personalities are susceptible to any form of entertainment or substance that one finds enjoyable, you can't really peg it to just video games. If it's not one thing it would probably be another. Also while your OP may have been well intentioned it does come off as telling people how to live their lives. If they prioritize gaming above all else and they truly enjoy it but can still function as productive members of society, who are you to say whether or not they should or should not be outside during their free time? I understand that people with full blown addictions cannot function in society but at that point you can't just tell them to go outside.

I feel most people here are big boys and girls and can handle their own lives and free time. Your OP comes off as telling people what to do and that's why some people get defensive. Your posts since have progressively grown more trollish though.

If we all had to be perfect to try and make this world a better place, the world would be much worse than it is right now. If you want to be afraid of people calling you a hypocrite and end up making no efforts to improve the world around you as a result, that's your choice. It's always the do nothings who criticize those who actually push this world forward out of jealousy and resentment, but it's people who DO without FEAR of reprisal, knowing their imperfections that make this world better. You choose what you want to do, but at the end of the day if even one person does something about their gaming addiction because of Jack's post, then he's made the world a better place... and what have you done for all your nay saying and undermining of a not a self righteous effort, but a truly righteous effort. Again, cudos to Jack.
