Hey, I just had a dream that cheeseburgers cause racism.

Can I write that factually-based piece of non-spuriousness into a newspaper article too?

 OH NO! Kids spend 2 WHOLE HOURS A DAY in front of a game! They only spend 8 hours sleeping, 7 hours in school, and 7 hours doing other tasks like hygiene, chores, etc. What are we ever going to do?

It really is the taxicab gunshot heard around the world!

Something tells me that the Thai government had it in for the gaming industry all along- they were just waiting for an appropriate spark to incite them to take action.

Is it just me, or does it seem like Thailand is just catching up to the west in the cultural introduction of games?

I mean, this was a popularized point of view, say, 10 years ago or so. Games are ruining children's school lives, games are making kids violent, games are blurring the line between reality and fiction to children.

Hell, a lot of this kind of garbage gets repeated over here still, so maybe they're not all that far behind.

Until Thai gamers fight for their right to play games, I refuse to feel bad for them.

They spend a whopping two hours playing these games, and this gameplay alters their brains and make them unknowingly commit heinous acts, like killing people (and later re-creating the scene for police, despite unkowingly commiting the act...), and writing god awful newspapers filled with more bullshit than a bulls bowels.

Oh, and Thailand...stop fucking children and I'll try to understand what the fuck you're talking about.

It's called a political smokescreen. You basically stir up one controversy to cover the stench of another, thereby making people think you're doing something, when in fact you're just making yourself look good. Standard politics, though its use becomes more frequent as the gov't becomes more corrupt. Digging for excuses so to speak.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
