Obama stop telling people how to raise their kids

Once again addressing the topic of gaming as a distraction from education, Obama said that the "Government can't put away the PlayStation," adding that it is a thing "only a parent can do." In the context of the speech, Obama places getting your kids away from the PlayStation at equal importance alongside getting them to bed at a reasonable hour, attending parent-teacher conferences, helping your kids with their homework, and reading a book to your child at night.

This sounds pretty reasonable to me.

He's right, only the parents can stop their kids from playing

Maybe more parents should listen to his advice before they poo-poo what he says, or else you may end up with this:

Add that shit into the next stimulus and I'm in.

My kids play 4 hours each Saturday and Sunday, and never during the week. They know the rules, and they abide by them. They are both A-B students and my 7 year old would wreck any of you in Mario Kart.

Most parents just don't have any idea how video games suck you in and rot your brain if you don't pay attention to what's going on....just look at Twigg.

Video games are good. Sports video game stats helped me with math when I was younger.

Madden has taught my son all about the rules of football and given him an appreciation of the game.

I just won't let him play during the week...Monday through Friday is for school. The weekends are for dicking off.

Pokemon taught me that fire can take out grass so I'm a firm believer that kids should keep playing games.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

But seriously, as a parent you need to, at the very least, monitor what your child is up to.

Microsoft has the government under mind control, just like the rest of their customers.

What kind of faggot pays attention to their kid?
