China limits teenage gaming to 3 hours a day

Featured Replies

K, I think some of you are just taking what you have been taught that "Communist suck" and are trying to apply that here. This has nothing to do with communism. It is a just an attempt to get people to lead healthier life styles. Personally, I only see games like WoW and any other mmo being the problematic games. How much do you see someone playing oblivion or halo for over 3 hours?

 

 

 

It's also only for minors, which isnt a problem really.

 

 

 

Well, It does suck and this issue does involve communism, because China is a communist state. Sure, the same law could be passed everywhere, but the difference is that citizens of democratic states have elected leaders that make the laws and also the citizens have the ability to repeal the law.

 

 

 

Online games are no more addictive than any other. I have personally played standalone "offline" games for many, many hours on end. I've also read books for hours and hours...never heard anyone complain about that.

 

 

 

What if a parent decides that they believe their kids should play exactly 3.5 hrs of gaming a day? That they believe that is the optimal amount of time a kid should play to develop skills gained thru gaming. Should they not be able to allow their kids to play an extra 1/2 hr?

 

 

 

Also, it does affect more than just minors...the adults have to prove they are adults before they can play.

It's never gonna work...

 

Kid's will just use a parents ID, and continue to play. But what I don't see is where the government gets off playing parents to all these kids. Let the parents decide what's good for them.

They're Chinese.

 

 

 

Which means they're asian.

 

 

 

Which means if they're desperate enough to play more than 3 hours a day, they just so happen to be smart enough to launch their own satellite into space, set up their own server and play from that.

 

 

 

Because they're asian.

 

 

 

And asians are smart.

 

 

 

Get it?

 

 

 

....Okay, just [bleep] China.

 

Where you being sarcastic or horrendously stereotypical?

Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.

wow.....how dumb...i think we need them lulz to do something to them

Are you implying communism is absolutely bad? Sometimes democracy doesn't work for everyone. And there are 'bad' democracies out there too...

I'm half chinese. Am I going to be incredibly incredibly smart, incredibly dumb, a medium, or half the time a genius and half the time an idiot? Is the idiot gene dominant over the recessive asian gene?1?!?

Healthy or not, this is still far from what their goverment should be doing. I mean, if people want to tear themselves apart playing video games, let them! Its the gamers loss, not the chinese goverments.

All stereotypes are bad, even positive ones, because they aren't true. But at least you weren't being serious (I don't think)

I wasn't being serious, but stereotypes are necessary. Some of them may suck, but you just have to deal with it. Some may not even be true, but most of them are. Do all black people like chicken? Probably not. I'm sure there is one black dude out there that hates chicken. Are asians smarter than most? Generally, studies say yes!

 

 

 

People need to learn the difference between stereotypes and racism. Stereotypes are usually hilarious, whereas there is nothing funny about racism, which is the hatred of another race, generally for no apparent reason, NOT saying "Lawlz, asians r gud at mathz." That's not racist.
