People will always look to blame others for shit that they can control but choose not to when it has negative effects. You cant admit fault! Just blame the media, blame the songs, blame the TV shows..but never EVER blame the fact that your the fucking shitiest parent on this earth and the only reason you have a child is because you were too brain dead to know how to use birth control.

Meh, I'd rather be addicted to video games than alcohol or drugs. Video games aren't gradually killing me.

A tendency to become obsessed with an activity is in fact a disorder, i dunno if that was what the article meant. I'll read it again. Though i wouldn't expect to hear good arguments for and agaisnt video gaming, seing as there will be an obvious bias in a video gaming forum.

I agree more with this:

Dr. Michael Brody, head of a TV and media committee at the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, agreed. He praised the AMA council for bringing attention to the problem, but said excessive video-game playing could be a symptom for other things, such as depression or social anxieties that already have their own diagnoses.

“You could make lots of behavioral things into addictions. Why stop at video gaming?” Brody asked. Why not Blackberries, cell phones, or other irritating habits, he said.

But, like he said, it is in fact a problem that people are allowed to continue with their addictions without any help.
