Gamers Disconnected From Reality

[Not Kuno]

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...

I think it's actually O'Reilly who is disconnected from reality.

[Xiona]

what is this "reality" you speak of?

[Kiro]

What person under 45 that isn't a weatherman gives a fuck about what the temperature is outside?

They don't know anything.

I know that he's stupid.

Hey, if the videogame generation had made a laughingstock of you by spreading around embarrassing phone calls you had made to an uninterested co-worker that you were sexually harrassing, you'd hold a grudge too.

[DeadLegend]

I didn't know it was cold outside til I carried in some groceries today. I didn't know the date until I was told these were thanksgiving groceries. I can't see or hear and I've gone bald.

Quite happy to be alive though.

looks like Oreilly didn't get a new console and is in desperate need of a hug.

Sounds like a pure 'Negative Nancy'

[Scythiroth]

Why would anyone want to deal with a reality that is as boring as this?

My favorite thought is that people make fun of gamers and yet they do things that we would probably consider boring. Kinda like a big circle of "no one is right."

Bill O'Reilly is a big, blubbering vagina. /Maddox

[DeadLegend]

It's funny, iirc he wasn't a total douchebag when he went on Howard Stern a couple years ago but that was like a 30 minute break in many many years of assaholism.

[Stilgar]

O'Reilly is a gigantic cock, but sometimes he's fun to watch just because of how audacious his cockasity is.

[Alleya]

What's great about Bill O'Riley is his uncanny ability to de-legitimize his own argument, no matter what side he's on. He couldn't even manage to critisize hitler properly. I can just see how that would go...

"Hitler was a sick twisted individual and a blight on the history of human kind. I mean, at least Stalin had the brains to keep his mass murder secret while they were going on!"

[The Blackrose]

It's funny, iirc he wasn't a total douchebag when he went on Howard Stern a couple years ago but that was like a 30 minute break in many many years of assaholism.

That's because he was out of his element. He didn't have Fox executives behind him to edit out anything he said that could be turned against him the minute he said it. Actually reminds me of the old Chris Rock joke involving the angry black store clerk. Whenever there was no white people around, "Cracker crack cracker this, cracker that," but as soon as there was a white person he'd practically suck his dick.

Then again, it's not as if he already doesn't give us enough ammunition to call him a fucktard.

[Groovebox]

I don't like Bill at all, but he's basically right... It doesn't matter though, that's just how the generation is and what it's going to be. It's retarded to compare activities today to activities of the ideal youth of yesteryear. Fuck those people, live how you want.

[Gulkeeva]

dam and I thought 14-22 hours a day playing online games was bad, but loosing in touch with reality.. tsk tsk tsk

Gotta love how people freak out that kids are turning to a cyber based world, yet @ the same time take away things like tag @ schools.

[mikazuki]

that older generation is the one composed of paedophiles et al that give parents a damn good reason not to let their children outside unattended or at all.
that older generation is the one driving so many millions of cars and developing all the green space in cities into luxury flats that there isn't any safe outdoors near a child's home.
those people who made the world what it is today and then complain that children don't want to go outside, are goddamotherfuckingretards.

"I don’t own an iPod. I would never wear an iPod… If this is your primary focus in life - the machines… 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."

I'm sorry asshole says what?
What I find funny is that if it wasn't for the "computer geeks" his stupid ass wouldn't even be known.

THE MACHINES! THEY WILL END US!
