Today in class we watched a movie born in the digital age or some crap like that, i didn't care just glad to be watching a movie in class(guess that's where all the money for school is going dvd's). I could not believe how many losers spent countless time of their lives in what they call second life. Companies had their employees using this "technology" to run a fucking business. there were people who considered themselves great friends because of how much time they spent playing in second life, also second life includes world of Warcraft. there were seriously people who got married to someone they knew from playing this fuck game. I guess i can see how they would consider a person on a screen their best friends because that's all they fucking do is play this game and live in this fantasy world. How the fuck else are you going to meet someone in this life or "primary life" if you don't leave your fucking house. You definitely have all your meals delivered, so yes most of them were fat. I just don't get why the hell you would spend so much time in a place that gets your really nothing but another loser to date and have more kids to put money into these games. Take a second and seriously think about this next statement. In North Korea some kids play video games in these shops called PC, kids have DIED playing Video games in these places. How much of a loser are you that you stop taking care of yourself to the point you die. Kids have stopped eating and drinking water and died trying to beat angry birds. Another aspect of this show was that kids were sent to camps to stop using the internet what the fuck kind of camp is that they spent 10 days just shooting the shit and just thinking of that next fix of video games. Really what a shitty waste of money o yes the best part is this 10 day get away was free. To all the Gamers Out there Grow the fuck up.
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.

Humankind today cant handle too much reality! scary but true B. i beleive these people are cowards checking out of the reality of life as only a coward can. life is hard reality with greater rewards than one can imagine the soul to feel (such as childbirth) and deeper pains than many can bear,(such as death) like drugs are an escape so is gameing, or sex addicts or overeaters or smokers or alcohlics. its all a way out of the cruel realities of life or so we are taught to believe. None of it is truth how-ever, ones own moral strength not to beleive in the escape is the only truth! to actually see the collective souls of humankind and the virtues and morals lost there within and still walk through your own life in your own reality is too truly step out side the box, its called growth and you are now learning this higher education!
I agree with you b and seashelly, but i think in some cases there second life is a chance for your so called "gamer" to live a life free of ridicule. I mean think about it, the people that are the hard core world of worldcraft players have probably been social outcasts there whole life. I can bet that the captain of the fb or bb teams in high school is not playing World of Warcraft. idk just trying to imagine myself in their shoes.
ReplyDeletefirst thanks both of you for commenting but i think that i have been i their shoes. not to the extent in which they are in but i have found myself on the outside of the in crowd. i was not always the captain on the fb team or the most popular of kids we both know that im a jerk to put it nicely. and i would even go on to ask if they didn't alienate themselves by removing themselves from society because they knew of games lie this. that they are using this technology to hide from what shelly was talking about, the world and all of its hard truths.I think maybe some of these kids or people in general have had rough lives and found a happy place but more than not i think its people not taking what they have in their lives and making the most of it. that they are focused on how they are on the outside looking in and in this game they can be on the inside where they are in a circle with people looking to fit in, people with the same views on life maybe. just dont think it good for people to withdraw from what they have been blessed with.
ReplyDeletei agree with unidentified black male to some extent. i think people need to get away from reality during a stressful week. we all know B you like to watch tv series for days at a time or at least you have done that in the past. some people get away using exercise, yoga, some tv, some videogames. it takes all types to make the world go 'round... but at some point you have to come back down to earth for another week; which these kids did not do that you originally were referring to
ReplyDeleteso really you didn't add anything lmao
ReplyDeleteescapism is something everyone of us does.. the simple act of sitting in front of the tv is escapism even if its TLC or Discovery its a form of relaxation from the outside world to sit all cuddled up in our little shells like crabs, our homes are our safe place even if they suck we at least know what we can expect to happen when we are there.. the difference with 2nd life is these people are at home and dont even answer the phones or go outside to their jobs or if they do they are playing at work they are addicts its disgusting! i really hope your generation can stand up and start screaming about the insanity among us my gen seems to be playing 2nd life. too many people and goverments are complacent and/or take no responsibility for anything anymore, this whole society is really fucked up. You guys will see so much of it when you get into the workforce just live by your own sense of morals and keep voiceing how you feel about whats wrong may be society can change!
