Let Them Watch Video Games

A recent study by a group of doctors suggested that the playing of video games produces the same calming effects as anesthesia. So, instead of attempting to ban these games, perhaps we should be encouraging their use.

If the entire population were playing video games, they would much more sedate and less prone to dangerous thoughts. And by encouraging our children to play video games, we can raise an entire generation of happy, thoughtless automatons, who will always follow the rules, just as they do in the games they play. And it will have the added benefit of teaching them that violence is okay, just as long as it's done to the bad guys.

Perhaps that's why the US military encourages their use.
