Head teachers threaten to report parents to the police if they let their kids play CoD - Polidicks

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;47416960]Also what the fuck is dogs of war?[/QUOTE] A tactical RPG with online PvP. I would be surprised to see a kid play that kind of game. I remember playing Turok 2 when i was 8 and using the Cerebral Bore in it. :D

When I was a child, after my parents split, my dad had always let me and my brother watch South Park and play GTA etc. he didn't have a problem with it. He always had the firm belief that every child finds out about swear words and violence sooner or later either way. No need to keep them under wraps forever. :v:

When I was a little kid, I had a lot of attention issues and loved playing video games. Basically, this made one of the other parents at a PTA conference compare me to the kind of person that did the Columbine shooting. I turned out to be one of the nicest students in my entire school career. In fact, whenever I'm working at my father's office and one of my old high school teachers shows up as his patient, I always give her a big hug cause she's such a sweet old lady. Early calls and assumptions on video games being contributors to violent behavior is generally wrong. It's all about spotting the actual behavior, not what [I]might[/I] cause it.

[QUOTE=Chickens!;47417526]My teacher took a day off to play Skyrim, that's the kind of teacher I'd want to be teaching my kids, not some intrusive butthead.[/QUOTE] in elementary I used to play WoW with a teacher. We went to his classroom one day(wasn't our teacher, but his and my teacher's room swapped for a day). He asked "does anyone know what 'auction house' means" and I gave the most accurate description ever and he was like "how did you know that" "VIDEO GAMES" He was on the horde tho, fuck that shit. I went back to the alliance after a month of being an Orc.

These days it feels like your common public school's enviornment is bound to make someone transition to insanity. In general life experiences and circumtsnces make a more real impact on someone's health than the media that someone consumes.

I'd be pretty offended if my kid's school did shit like this.

I don't give a shit about if you let your kid play the most violent video game they can get, what I think is important here is keeping your kid off the damn microphone I learned this the hard way when I was a kid and acted like a dumbass every day on XBOX live it embarrasses your kid, can get them harassed, and it's also fucking annoying to everyone else the way they behave there needs to be a movement for that shit

But a cute water turtle thing shooting water at a yellow thing that squeals "pikachu" is apparently not suitable for such an impressionable young Christian child as I.[/QUOTE] jesus i know i have a christian mother, but goddamn man that must of sucked.
