sorry let me word it better
video games cause bad behavior. there, an objectively true fact backed up by studies that deus ex have generously provided

that brown townogy isn't even remotely comparable?? the majority has no benefit to drunk driving. i'm sure the majority of the world (maybe bar muslims, religious friends, and relationships) quite enjoy a bit of research every now and then.
just because some dumb british mum allows her 13yo to browse researchsites freely and get addicted doesn't mean that the goverment needs to censor everything, and forget over the majority with some nanny state crap. and trust me, the UK goverment has been trying to pull off this bullstuff for years, and somehow the population is handicapped enough to go along with it.

anyhow, my point still stands. pls try countering it without using a dumb brown townogy that makes no sense.
--- Quote ---Those children who spend more time playing games might be slightly likelier to be hyperactive and to get into fights. But violent video games seem to have no effect on behavior, according to British researchers.
The researchers also said they discovered that kids who played video games for less than an hour a day were more likely to be less aggressive and rated as better-behaved by their teachers.

the article constantly counter acts itself? I can clearly see the section you are referring to but the entire article seems to refute that claim after stating it once.

i agree that this is blurring the line between too much federal intervention and too little. 'loving over the majority' is honestly a really bad way of putting it. if you wanted to view research freely as a 14 year old and your parents were okay with it, they would probably authorize it for you. however, this is meant to target the families who don't care enough to protect their younger children from research. and yes, letting 6-10 year olds enjoy research freely has been proven to increase high risk behavior as adults. this means they are more likely to have love unprotected, drink alcohol, do drugs, all sorts of behavior that is potentially life threatening. it's a small margin but its significant enough

this doesn't at all mean that research is the doomsday of humanity, it just means that moderation is a necessity for younger children
