Well, that stuff about D&D was half true. There were some players who were into the occult... but of course blaming the actions of someone on something is stupid. It's something best described in the Futurama episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On Television".

If I had to leave from a normal home and go to her, I would be irritable, too.

AHAHAHAHA! Word.

This is really just an extension of the "pokemon are the devil" group. Honestly, I think parents don't give kids enough credit to critically think and separate reality from fantasy. If their kids can't do that, then the parents only have themselves to blame. However, she sounds like the religious nut who only listens to whatever her fundamentalist pastor tells her the bible says anyway. How can one teach their children to critically think, if they don't have that ability themselves? (I'm religious, but it makes me sad when people like her make the rest of us all look like blithering idiots).

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

No not even half-true. That's like saying listening to Judas Priest makes you kill yourself...oh wait...

@TokenGirl I completely agree with you.
Check out this video: [youtube:0VPcPCwK_G0]
Some Christian groups really make Christianity look dumb to other people. No offense to the people in the video and the group that made it, but it's sort of embarrassing. actually, it's REALLY embarrassing
As for this mom, I think she's completely normal, except for the fact that her sense of protection is on steroids.

Oh come on! That's classic corn! I don't get the impression that they're being all that serious, so why the hate? Laugh, it's funny.

Besides, their moves aren't that bad... cough

Except back in the day they were claiming D & D was a gateway drug into satan worship.

Which is quite untrue.

The occasional Wii owner will kill someone, and the occasional PS3 owner will take up prostitution, that hardly means the Wii or PS3 encourages such behaviour, any more than D & D encourages satan worship.

@thewiirocks I did laugh, and that's what's not good sometimes. For Christians, it's just funny. For non-Christians, it's funny, AND it gives us a reputation of freaks who make people laugh. Then again, I'm probably just worrying. After all, I'm PRETTY sure most people know that most Christians do NOT do that.

Just let it happen.

He said that Metroid wasn't violent.

Is it after 9PM EST? You should probably ignore the above post.

As a conservative, I truly cannot stand these fake conservatives who get their talking points from a Jack Chic tract. This isn't as rare as it seems. Everything bad to these people is caused by Satan somehow and everything good and beautiful is a product of God. That's all well and good to beolieve if you want to, but it takes out one very important factor-the human factor. If you do something wrong face up to it, don't say the devil made me do it, you made the choice it wasn't made for you. On the other hand, if you do something good that rewards you, don't give the credit to a god, you did it. But anyway...

Being a conservative doesn't mean hating or denying things that are fun. We can like South Park or Family Guy, we can even watch a movie with Geoorge Clooney or Sean Penn. Just because we don't agree with what they believe doesn't mean they don't have the right to believe it any less than we have the right to believe what we do.

This woman has it all wrong. Because she doesn't like it, it's automatically evil. I don't like the idea of formal churches but I don't think they are evil. Does her closed mindedness help or hurt her children? Does having the "weird mom" affect them in a more negative way than playing a game of Mario or even Madworld? In the long term yes it does. Her kids are going to be cast out from their peers which will cause them to not learn how to interact with people. I live not too far from the Duggars from that show about the AR family with 16 kids (you can even see me in a few episode at stores and such) and they have been raised pretty much the way this woman is raising her kids and let me tell you, they are really the laughingstocks of the whole state.

For those who wonder why I added a lot about conservatives is that in a few of her other posts she states that she is one. She says she is, but she seems more like a tree hugging hippie. However, just in case, I would like to apologize for her words and actions as not a true example of the conservative movement.

I am the one you despise. I am he who says what you really deep down know but are affraid to admit. I am the Anti-Fanboy, the crusader of truth in a world built on your lies.

Wait until you see what "concerned parents" have to say about Role Playing Games (the real one, pen-and-paper) like Dungeons and Dragons. Video games get it easy.

amen brother. in my younger days, when i played tons of PnP rpg's, I sat in on a seminar at a church where the speaker said they were the tools of the devil and devil-worshipers.

i love busting out a link to the Chick tract whenever someone brings that up. it's always good for a lol. :3

No, she'll probably think it's some communist brick assembly simulator from Russia trying to teach children how to build structures the un-American way.

I believe satan was created by this mother & in the minds of people like her.

This is a typical over-reactionary response that you here from a fool who doesn't understand something that it relatively new, also this type of behaviour has been going on for years. Back in the days when Elvis and his pelvis burst onto the scene he was accused of being the devil incarnate by older people who didn't understand this new trend, the ironic thing is that this mother probably was one of the young people who was into Elvis.
