    If I was on that teamspeak channel or whatever it was, I would not have been able to resist the urge to yell naughty words, or maybe "JAMES, WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE PICS OF YOUR MOM IN THE SHOWER YOU PROMISED US?"

    I wish I could blizzaga the father of that child and my father for the same reason.What the f*** am I supposed to do ?I moved to this town and ain't got no friends, what am I supposed to do, go to a cafe and scream ''HEY wanna be friends??''

    I hate fathers like that
    They should die
    I think his father loves him.
    If he really loves him then he'd leave him alone.
    I think that the child would grow up stronger in life with social skills to face the world not fantasy skills.
    Sure but what his father did is not civilized.

    I dunno, just wow. I hope they smashed his computer with a hammer.
    i hope you'll never have kids.

    What? And you think how the kid was behaving was "civilized"? I thought the parents were being very rational and NICE about it in the beginning. It was only after the dude kept screaming and sobbing and acting like a petulant brat that their temper (understandably) rose.

    Don't worry I hope you don't either. I've already been in the shoes of a kid who was allowed to use the internet anytime I wanted, staying up ungodly hours playing MMORPG's such as OMG WOW. I feel my mother (and Dad) would have done me a favor by destroying my computer, seeing as now at the age of 21 I've realized I am -FAR- to attached to it. I say that as the perspective of that video's already happened to me, 'cept instead of the computer going, my mom just gave up and let me played.

    A good parent doesn't let their kid do whatever the hell they want.

    Hmm...I dunno, I think he handled that very well. I have a little brother who used to throw big tantrums (he had to take medication for awhile because of it) and that guy handled his son's behavior better than my dad did, lemme tell you.

    I disagree, Miriel. GRAHGH83J4KSLF is a very common term used in the natural English vernacular, and should not be seen upon as a sign of video game addiction, jerk-ness to reasonable parents, or complete, 100% immaturity, and a serious and obvious inability to manage one's own life.

    Being asked your age online is most certainly cruise control for awesome.

    I've already been in the shoes of a kid who was allowed to use the internet anytime I wanted, staying up ungodly hours playing MMORPG's such as OMG WOW.

    That is because you were allowed to do it. You had the freedom of will.
    That kid didn't. After all your life is in your hands.
    If you were not allowed to stay up for so long, you would be like me .

    Humans are defective by nature, they want what they do not have , and they regret things no matter what they do.

    Also, yes, I will not have kids, because I do not see the point in continuing the species.

    I liked the dad. I hate that little pussyhole kid, how can he cry over some World of Warcraft game, which isn't even real. God, I wanna smack him.
    The below sentence is true.

    Not come tuesday, not for me Im changing. Im seeking out what I want in life and if I get it Im going to be the happiest man a live and if I dont then I will live with it. Im not regretting trying this, I need to try this. Im going to change tuesday , Im going out on a limb and my life is going to be better.

    Man kind is worth saving, I know its hard to see at times but it is a young race. Have faith in it. I know they are all sexually immature and un evolved when it comes to there precious females and say that love is all about sex but to me its about being with someone who understands you and that you want to make happy, knowing that in return it means the same for you from her.Some one precious that knows how to make you happiest and someone who you want to make happy in return. Anyways I wont elaborate because this is not about that. Man kind is simple at times I give you that. They only see the book cover of so many stories and deep things. However there are a lot of smart people in this world. Have faith. Encourage the good and do not encourage the bad .

    When you are a child you're suppose to be taught lessons to keep you alive when you get older. Thats not just human nature, thats nature to all animals. Learn while you're young.

    If the parents let him play as long and as much as he wanted then, its plausable to think that he may not learn that all time cannot be devoted to play. When you are young your life is not in your hands. You have legal guardians, and are considered slightly less responsible for your actions (it depends on your age).

    The father was trying to teach him a simple lesson, if you stay up playing video games, you might not wake up at the right time. The kid obviously hadn't been taught it a whole lot, and we all know WoW can be addictive, so he flipped. It may or may not continue, but is just in every measure. Ava is saying that the parents did the right thing because they most likely got rid of an addiction before it happened, and used herself as an example.

    I know, what's funnier is that the kid kept teamspeak on the whole time this was going on.

    @Stormsan: The kid was obviously addicted to the game, the parents were right for doing what they did. If you had a child that was addicted to drugs, would hate yourself if you had taken the kid's drugs from him?
