have you heard of things such as dictatorships, tyrants....how can you dictate one persons livelihood and justify what they should or shouldn't have in life. im sorry do you know everything about everyone's culture, position in life, and priorities. ppl may be in an area were they cant even get internet access...you truly are ignorant.

Internet is starting to be one of the necessities of life. Most job applications are done online and companies always ask you to send them your resume through email. He's just saying with this new shift to this online world we live in, having Internet should be a higher priority than having a gaming system and spending $60 on games.

I live in Massachusetts and there are certain things the RMV make you do online and that they don't do it in the offices anymore. It's becoming the new way of life.

If I didn't have the Internet, I may not have known. The Internet keeps me connected to the world.

If you're not in the civilized capitalistic western world, then why the hell do you need an Xbox or Madden 13?

You're describing an incredibly unambitious life where people who are in bad situations, wherever the country, simply sit back and play video games rather than try to make the necessary moves for a better life for themselves and their children.

If you can get your hands on and have the necessities for video games, then you at the very least have the opportunity to get out of the position you're in.

I can't respect a person who would rather play video games offline for the rest of their lives while sitting back and having their lives ruined around them. It's an incredibly immature way to think.

i completely agree with that, but all im trying to say is that not everyone should be classified the same. I love the internet i use it every single day. some people in this world are less fortunate and do not have the abilities to have the internet for whatever reason it may be.

Those people should not be focusing on video gaming. It's not your grandmas Nintendo anymore. It's expensive and habit forming. Internet broadens your mind and allows you to look further than your window into the world that's around us. If internet is not in your area that's one thing, but if your trying to say someone can afford gaming but not afford Internet...their priorities are way off.

Keep it civil. No attacking people on what is considered "bettering" themselves. Keep to the facts and trends you see in the world.
