Ban Fortnite, Says Prince Harry (gamespot.com)

Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, is calling for the ban of popular battle royale game "Fortnite." The prominent member of the British royal family visited a YMCA in West London and spoke to mental health experts about addictive games and social media, saying that the latter is more addictive than drugs or alcohol. From a report: "[Fortnite] shouldn't be allowed," he said. "Where is the benefit of having it in your household? It's created to addict, an addiction to keep you in front of a computer for as long as possible. It's so irresponsible. It's like waiting for the damage to be done and kids turning up on your doorsteps and families being broken down." He also suggested that social media is "more addictive than alcohol and drugs."

I would have been happy to have either Rand or Bernie as both were anti-war and both seem to really care about this country....but that wasn't the choice we got.

Our choice was a former gameshow host that trolls on Twitter or a war mongering corpratist sociopath....sorry but if my only choices are a Twitter Troll or a war loving, Wall Street kissing sociopath that used her influence to keep herself out of jail (show me ANY time where taking a hammer to cellphones and using DoD wiping software to erase data under subpoena hasn't gotten the person jail time for obstruction) while cheering sending more of our children to shithole countries to die so her pals can clean up? Yeah I'll take the Twitter troll any day of the damn week, he is frankly a hell of a lot less of a threat.
