  1. This might be very bad. by Krapangor · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    These days children become more and more addicted to computers games.
    Recent studies have already shown a rapid decline of their logic and lingual abilities.
    The slashdot editors should be aware that a large part of their community consists of children at an age below 16.

    Children at this age are not capable to defend themselves from the lure of the computer gaming commercials.
    They need the help of grown-ups not to fall for computer games and become addicted. Probably most underaged slashdot readers are already overstrained with processing all the information they found on the internet.
    When they are exposed to computer game propagandizing sites they'll have no chance against the psychological tricks used there and fall for computer gaming addiction at once.
    Personally I think posting such stories here is totally irresponsible of the slashdot editors.
    Therefore I beg you to stop it.
    It's for the future of the generations to come.
