Well I myself am not asking that question, it is a vote I have stumbled across.

I saw 'Newsround' and it told me to go to their web-site, I was bored so went to send in an insane view that is not your average 15 year olds point of view. Usually the average one talkes about bleedin Harry Potter and something trivial and English :D. I was going to talk about something to do with Capital Punishment or Human Rights which would never get shown on TV because it would be too intellictual for the viewers who like to stick wooden Spoons in their ears. (taken from latest story).

Anyway since I have got my views on 'Newsround' across lets talk about this stupid vote they are going on about.

Well I thought let me guess what point they are trying to get across. I bet someone has been acussed of hitting his little brother with a wooden spoon because he plays Half-Life or some crap like that. Well actually they have no point its just a vote and I am happy to say most people have said no. 75% NO, 25% YES

Well what do I have to say to that 25%? Well basically shut up :D Just because somebody plays a game with a gun in it and then actually goes out and shoots someone it doesn't mean they have been influenced by the game... they are basically just like that.

Games are not to blame... they are not bad for you, it is you are bad for you. People who do that stuff need help and don't need their ill health to blamed on games.

If of course they are talking about something more stupid like... "They make you lazy"? Well shut up again :D And games have been proven to improve intelligence as well so it is not draining your brain. People say get outside and play and stop playing video games... well at this present time it is wet, cold and miserable so I would rather play football on my computer in my nice warm house.

Well what a useless rant I don't know how many times it needs to be said.

(I've been proven wrong. Newsround do have forums.)

And now I know why I appear older... here's a sample of someone my age's work:

dont hold much of a grudge for nintendo but im not buying the gc cause it doesnt seem all worth it.because its makin games from mini disk which i assume will cost tons ,they would cope with much data to a disk.and nintendo said that there only concole based but yet i saw a dvd capablity so wats with dat then r they lying or wat.and different story im not much of a fan of childist games

More?

sega saturn sux

Still more?

Hello just wanted to say that gameboy advance rules the world. I got it the day after it came out and I got Rayman. It's not the best game but the graphics are amazing (the same as the playstation ones - wow!) and I've played Mario Advance and Tony Hawks 2. They're brilliant! I'm definitely going to get Mario Kart when it comes out - that will be sooooooooooooooo cool.

(Ok. Please stop. You've made your point.)

So, the next person that moans about the lack of intelligence in these forums, spare a thought for the Newsround forum.

Does Newsround have a forum? I'm going to invade it if they have.

(No, they won't. It would encourage children to run off with forty year old men.)

Ah, I see.
