Do video games cause bad behaviour in children?

by The Rebel in

my boy is 10 and has got very interested in pocamon cards.

( a game way to complicated for me to understand) but i've also noticed it's linked to a computer game, which seems harmless enough but i also noticed advertisements for more violent games appear.. i would value people's opinion on whether, you think video games cause bad behaviour in kids.

i should mention my kid says i limit his time on these games, much more than other children's parents, and i was thinking of reevaluating that rule.. thanks.. the rebel..

I feel so guilty now but I remember having my son throw out all if his Pokeman card( some worth good money) when the talks were coming in about them. He was so upset with me! Can't blame him.

He is now 20 and in my opinion spends way to much time on computer games. While he's not violent he can be quite annoying when you make him leave his game in the middle to throw out the trash:)

I truly don't understand the appeal of video games, but then again I get annoyed when people interrupt me while I'm reading the latest here.

Pick your battles.

"And what happened next was simply unbelievable!"

i always sit in the same spot, just outside starbucks in a vestibule area with a table in the air-conditioned space.

i say "always," but not today.. somebody with two laptops and a table filled with business ledgers was in "my" favorite spot!.

so, i took a tiny wooden table inside the coffee shop on a long padded bench next to 3 other identical tables.. as the clickbait banner ads like to say: "and what happened next was simply unbelievable!".

Simply epic!!

You only turned around on them what they have been doing for years.

I have a feeling they will be secretly listening in on Friday :)

I wonder with all this sex abuse drama if Wt would ever apologize to Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson.

by joe134cd in

wt obviously must realize now the value of those that tried to enforce change on them.

i think if it wasn't for these people doing what they did wt would be in even more drama now.

so my question is do you ever think wt would voluntarily reinstate and publicly apologize to bill bowen and barbara anderson for all their hard work in bringing reform.

truthseekeriam

Never!

Nor would it be a heartfelt apology if they ever did.

Contacted by Royal Commission today

by umbertoecho in

firstly, thank you to anyone who is in support of this rc.

no one has shown anything but great interest and empathy for those who were abused.. i don't know who this simonsays character is though and i find him to be very rude and ignorant.

it takes all kinds to make the world go round i suppose.. today i was contacted by a staff member of the royal commission.

truthseekeriam

Good for you!!

It will feel good telling them everything you experienced and actually be supported for a change. I wish you well and can't wait to hear about how it goes.

When the WTS saw Catholic Church abuse being exposed

by Simon in

there was a time when the abuse issues in the catholic church were first starting to be exposed.. now, they were fully aware that they had the exact same issues that they too were covering up.. what did they choose to do?.

they could have "learnt" and said "man, that looks bad and we know we have the same problem - but at least we can learn something and put processes in place to make sure we clean up our act".. they could have done nothing themselves but refrained from criticized the catholic church knowing that they had the same skeletons in their own closet.. what did they actually do?.

they wen't full guns criticizing the catholics for something they knew they were completely guilty of as well, painting themselves as 'the good guys where this sort of thing would never happen' but the only processes they put in place were to tighten up how cover-ups were managed and to make sure the local elders knew how to silence any incidents.

truthseekeriam

I can remember my mom talking horribly about her Catholic family staying in a religion that would cover up such crimes!

Now the shoe is on the other foot, she's gone silent.

Welcome Possum,

That's quite a interesting life you have had! I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. It's criminal the way they handle the crime of child molestation.

I'm so happy everything is coming out through these proceeding and I thank you for sharing your experience with the RC. I hope it some how begins the healing process for you.
