I think video games are very comparable to chess. I mean, chess:

1. Is dull

2. Promotes laziness

3. Is sedentary

4. Stunts societal progress and growth

5. Limits the mind

6. Promotes violence

The list goes on!

Yet can you believe that people can spend hours of their time on a game of chess? And parents allow their children to play it, which is most definitely irresponsible parenting. I would certainly never allow MY child to play chess when it's clear that it leads to such negative outcomes - nay, downfalls!
