googling research is not the same as drunk driving, what the forget are you on about

and taking two beers isn't the same as drunk driving. but, for someone who has an addictive personality, the similarities begin to blur. research addiction is real, just as real as gambling addiction, video game addiction, alcoholism, drug addiction. it's a reason why they all have some sort of age limit or warning regarding age. developing minds are literally the easiest target for any of these addictions, and studies across all boards have been done for each of the above afflictions.

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.

literally loving blind as usual. i can't believe people keep telling you off over and over again as you try to loving derail stuff and you continue to do it anyways

im sure drunk driving affects a minority but making drunk driving illegal is definitely a must

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.

i mean, david cameron tried to get all ISPs to block researchsites by default, requiring you to ring up your isp and tell them to stop censoring you. i guess it didn't work very well tho lmao

anyhow, my point still stands. pls try countering it without using a dumb brown townogy that makes no sense.

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

research addiction is a myth. You can stop at any time. It's not a disease.

This was what I assumed you meant by "promote." Rewording it doesn't change what you're saying.
You can't say "I have a study. This is objectively true." There are tons of studies on both sides, and so one side must be misinterpreting data or making some other mistake somewhere. Now I know you're not specifying violence here but still, we can both provide evidence that the other is wrong. Someone's evidence must be wrong, but we don't know whose. I say it's yours, you say it's mine, we're not getting anything done.

Please just stop citing this as an argument. It's not proven. People are making studies for and against it all the time. I think it's just the media trying to give videogames a bad name. Remember how TV rots your brain? Nobody's braindead because of TV. If someone shoots up a school "because of a videogame," they probably had a mental issue that wasn't caused by the game.

Here's a source on the conflicting studies thing. Nice job saying "deus ex did a study" and providing no actual link. Deus Ex is a game, unless I'm mistaken, not a group.

People find what they want to find. It's all confirmation bias on one side. I say it's yours, you'll say it's mine I'm sure, but unless someone unbiased can do a study and PROVE they're unbiased and their methods are unbiased, we can't be sure which.

research addiction is a myth. You can stop at any time. It's not a disease.

1. Why are you talking in red?
2. Eh... I'd say it's still up for debate if not true on the addiction thing.
3. Yes, you can stop at any time, you're right on this one. Addiction =/= irresistable compulsion.
4. Addictions are not diseases.
