news.filefront.com— Kay Hymowitz recently stated on NPR that 20-30 year-old men should stop playing video games and become productive members of society. Why can't we do both, and what makes games the problem?

Mr. Tom Leykis is speaking to the author of this article on the radio at this very moment. Earlier in the day I decided to send him the original article. If you don't know who I am talking about or don't live in Los Angeles stream is here at www.971freefm.com
I've really noticed this too picky phenonom with online dating. Every womens profile says basically she is looking for prince charming. The only problem is Prince charming represents maybe 2% of the population, and is probably already married to a super hot wife.
I guarantee that for every "child-man" pouring himself into a video game there is a child-man ignoring his social obligations to pursue a more constructive obsession. Were any great breakthroughs in science, technology, or works of art, writing, music, and philosophy done by men tied down by societies obligations? Most likely not...Most likely, they frustrated everyone around them--friends, family, girlfriends, wives. But they aren't remembered for their frustrations. The people described in this article are cut from the same cloth of the people who push the human race human and also remind us of our humanity. You can't put place a blanket judgment on all dreaming. If you reject the "loser" child-men who are into comics or videogames or whatever it is, you might as well reject the ones that provided you with the very medium you voice your complaint on.Anything created worth remembering was probably created by a "child-man".
I'd rather the machines take over than anyone else, provided their cold and logical. They'd carry on scientific developments and advancements much better than humanity could.
One day I asked my bf "Babe why do you love me"? He said "Cause your hot and you play video games." I lol! But after I read that article I realize now why him and all his friends like having me around. Mainly cause their gfs all think like this bitch.

Playing games keeps me from stabbing people like Kay.
