Uh,yes they do,you just can't see it.

And really,"morals" in TV shows are bullsh!t.

Society is overprotective and stupid.

They should let their teens be sluts,or w/e.

I can make a pretty long winded thought on this denouncing some of your logic and whatnot.

Screw it... Nobody cares about this topic. Videogames are the best learning medium ever made! TV just got hookers and methheads which is all it has.

Ha, the story of the SW!

And a perfect summation of Drasonak! :)

He reminds me of another guy we had a few months back, Lupin was the name. He came here with similiar arguments, was crazy mad all the time, and after whining to the moderators about other users insulting his dumbassery, he was swiftly banned!

Nah man,you are wrong.

Tom and Jerry shows that you can steal others' stuff and get away with it.Jerry keeps stealing food from the fridge and never gets punished.I bet the crime rate is so high because of shows like T&J.

On the other hand,Mario teaches kids that if you stand up against bullies like bowser,you can achieve anything.

OMAQ5.gifWell the ass certainly looks like mine -- but i'm definitely not ugly in the slightest. Stop the hate hun. It's not healthy troll.

TecmoGirl

what did you do to him? he seems to have some weird hate boner for you.

Lets just say I might've put it on him a little too good. It was a one night thing. I was more amazing than he could've ever imagined. But I didn't want anything to do with him afterwards. Now he seems to be going out of his way to make me look bad. *sigh*

As a Parent myself i have to say that it's the parents job to teach there children good morals, not the Television or video games and kids games are just meant to be fun adn quite a few tech them other things like Maths, Problem solving and games are a good 'Gateway medium' to teach kids about technology and how to use it

Well the main reason is the lack of choice and interaction, in the differences of gaming and TV.

Most games doesn't, but neither does the huge majority of TV shows. I learned a lot of good things playing the Ultima games as a kid, and two decades later I still try to live by it's teachings.

If I wanted good morals with my TV shows I'd be watching EWTN. But I don't.

It's the same with my games.

Yeah, Ultima too seems to have affected my morality a bit.

Btw, which virtue do you find to be the most important? For me it is compassion.

I think this video is a good video to teach kids about playing with each other nicely.

Video games have taught me to shoot, stab, jump on, blow up, strangle, and otherwise kill and or maim everyone who is different from me.

I have no problem with this.

I honestly do not give a crap. However, to point out the obvious, where is it said that video games are needed to instill good morals? I guess I must be ingorant in the opinion that any one thing won't instill good morals. I didn't learn good morals solely from my parents... I attained them through multiple sources.

I totally agree. The many TV shows for kids that feature manipulative main characters who are rude to their parents and horribly shallow are much better for the kids to be watching :roll:

Why is it that System Wars never seems able to recognize joke topics?meetroid8

Because it's so bad in SW that some "joke topics" are often dead serious topics, or troll topics.

Fun fact: This thread made me watch a bunch of old Tom and Jerry episodes on youtube. This is one of the greatest threads in SW history. Thank you.
