'I'd rather my son take coke than play video games'

    You couldn't make it up. What a fucking shit parent.

    Quote

    Smoking pot has become increasingly acceptable. Skinning up a joint to accompany an afternoon cuppa and a Hob Nob has become no knee-quaking big deal. Right now, thousands of young people - and some adults - are locked away in their bedrooms with a bag of skunk in one hand, and a remote control in the other - hypnotised by crap TV and hooked to the escapist antics of Playstation games. For some parents with a concern for their child's future, a dabbling in cocaine is a far more digestible alternative. "I'd rather my son take a more proactive, less habitual drug like cocaine, than lock himself away and play video games" says Roxanne Richardson, 35, who has a young son, and is expecting another. "It's so lazy. At least with pills and coke you're out and about doing something."

    doing coke in a backalley and barebacking with a dead hobo is as much "something" as playing a video game

    she was probably coked up when she made the comment.

    I gotta say though... I used to smoke a lot of pot back in the day (don't anymore) and it never made me crazy...

    True story.

    But what i think is that the problem here is overdoing it.

    Locking yourself into a room and play games/watch tv for days while doing drugs can't be good for any one, likewise if you doing something "creative" while high on coke.

    With moderation almost anything can be good for you, watching tv (learning about social behaviour, keeping updated about the world (news etc), just relaxing to an action or drama or whatever), playing game(learn how to solve different things, motoric (i think its spelled that way), learning language (if you like me are swedish you have to learn english), etc.)

    I won't say drugs are good though even with moderation, couse i sure whish no one ever need drugs, but i seriously doubt its that dangerous if you do it sometimes, of course that depends on person to person and in which state of mind the person is.

    Nuff said bout this, just one thing.

    DON'T do drugs!

    Everyone should eb sterilised at birth and permits allocated to allow you to become a parent only after you proved, in front of a panel of judges, that you are not a complete cretin.

    Drugs are fun providing you know what you're letting yourself in for and approach the thing with a sensible attitude and a bit of perspective. Smoking a few joints is not the same as injecting heroin into your cock. Likewise snorking a line of coke is not the same as drinking for 72 hours straight and having bourbon on your cornflakes every morning.

    I enjoy occasional toke when I'm playing, but I also toke when I'm out. But would I take coke instead of playing a game? Or rather, would I let my kid use coke rather than let him play a game, I guess the answer is that there are literally millions of people who play video games and still are functional part of the society, and then there are millions of people who are drug abusers who are a burden to the society and not at all functional people in any level.

    I would let my kid play video games.
