» Trash like Humans = Game Addicts

NEVER read this essay because trash like human beings like you can’t (don’t) comprehend important lessons like this essay. Stop reading, kids. Still reading? You kids just never listen to others... sigh.



I graduated my university in Japan then got my job as an engineer about 2 years ago. I feel sorry for you, guys, moreover I feel sad and pathetic for your moms and dads. Your parents work every day so you kids can go to schools, also have clothes, school supplies, money for lunch, bus tickets or gas, et cetera.



On the other hand, you guys live your own lives as if you are garbage. You kids will disagree with me; you guys will say you are not trash. Of course. Of course you can’t even realise what you really are because you are the trash itself. However, when other people see you they don’t even want to talk with you because it’s just a waste of time. Most of you game addicts have education of high school. You can become garbage collectors or truck drivers if you have high school diploma.



You kids just have some sort of virtual lives and crappy real lives which are just worthless, lifeless, stupid, pathetic, and sad. There’re many kind of addictions: smoking, drugs, computer/ video games, gambling, porn addiction, alcoholic, and so forth. All of the above are equally harmful in many ways on you. Some things like drug are extensively bad for your physical being; some other types like game addiction are extensively bad for your mental being.



I read this statistic/ report which said that about 20% of all human beings are good and hard working people with at least university education; about 60% of all mankind is quite good and moderate people; then here, about 20% of all human beings on the planet are pure garbage (criminals, robbers, thugs, uneducated sorts, hookers, etc).



If you play computer/ video games 3 days a week or more, and more than 1 hour on one day, then you are classified as a game addict and this is a truth; no arguing on this matter, period. As I said, you don’t even realise that you are a game addict. You games addicted guys, you sad folks spend hours and hours to play various games every single day. Aren’t playing games enough for you, kids?



Merely wasting away your lives by playing games isn’t enough; therefore, you need to spend at least a few more hours every day to visit several game related websites to watch and read game videos, game screenshots, and game news articles which are all about games? It was very hard to find such worthless human beings (like you guys) during my university years because it was a university (a selected institution); however, during my old high school years, I have seen hundreds of trashy kids around me (because anyone can attend high school).



I have to give this very simple example to make your bone-heads understood. Those minorities who have university degrees, have jobs like doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc; then they earn somewhere between $100 and $600 per hour. Moreover, they only have to work 5 days a week, 7 hours per day (35 hours per week; they earn $50,000 per month - 25 times more than $2,000). They can enjoy the rest and live like real humans.



But, you trashy kids earn $7 per hour as bus drivers, store clerks, etc because your highest education is high school (most uneducated guys love to go to the malls to hang out, the malls are full of store clerks). You have to work 7 days a week, 12 hours every single day (84 hours per week – that’s 2 to 3 times more than them; you earn $2,000 per month). You must work full-time in order to pay for food and apartment. You don’t even have enough free time; you live like dogs and garbage.



You will earn $14 per hour when you become 35 years old due to your work experience. Then, look around you and see other younger clerks. Those younger employees only receive $7 per hour; I’m sure you will feel satisfied and proud of yourselves. What a good way to achieve your self-esteem! Sarcasm...



If you think it’s too harsh to talk about lives only based on money then I can tal

I don't see the need for this to be posted here at all. You assume everyone here is a bus driver or a waste man, wrong. One hour of something a day makes you an addict? that must include tv, games, reading, talking, travelling, eating,...all addictions of course.



I love your complete analysis of 'I read this statistic'. If only everything could be understood so well by reading one statistic per subject. If you are an educated person you would realise that one thing said by one person doesn't make it fact. Who are you to judge anyone anyway. If people didn't do menial jobs. then who would? Just the way the world works, no need to make a big point of it in a games forum.
