I'm not anti-video games in principle, but one has to admit that they only serve as a major distraction from all the global events going on.

The biggest example? First person shooters. The U.S Army admitted they made great recruitment ads and yet invading Afghanistan/Iraq and Libya were all tremendous failures that created more "refugee" problems.

China has the right idea. Don't let future children get sucked into these time wasters or limit how much time they play. They should either be getting fit at the gym and trying to attract breeding partners, or studying for a serious profession that will make their nation powerful. Just sitting behind a monitor playing Fortnite all day is not going to make our countries advanced.
