China would like you to believe that if you are a online gamer that you could become a druggie, a murderer and you could become pregnant which could make you want to have abortions. Now China has already been known for censoring their internet and they don't allow some games into the country.
China sights that over 80% of the criminals in jail are there because of their online gaming drove them to do it. Ummm yeah China has sighted some cases to back them up:
A Beijing juvenile prison where one man was serving a life sentence for murders he committed to obtain virtual equipment in an online game. "He himself killed five people, and the reason he took the path to crime was addiction to violent online games."
A 14-year-old girl purportedly influenced by an online dancing game to start having sex with people she met online. The game, called "Audition," was said to encourage one-night stands and the girl to have had two abortions.
CCTV this month also aired a report on teenagers who became addicted to cough medicine and then drugs like methamphetamine as a way to keep their energy up during all-night gaming marathons. The boys were said to spend their time in Internet cafes, which are often filled with chain-smoking young men using instant-messaging programs and playing online games.
So there you have it, according to China if you're a online gamer you could be a criminal. I shared this with my oldest son who is a online gamer, he laughed. I dunno the only thing he kills while gaming is my bandwidth . So what are your thoughts?

Single & Not Looking
If you're gonna be a druggie, murderer or get pregnant you're gonna be that way without gaming. I think parents should monitor their kids games, but i don't think it turns them into something like that alone, there are a lot of other factors involved.
