The wild, wild, web is a dangerous place to be if you want to think critically. C'mon, really now... who expects students to think while doing an assignment for a class in which they are not engaged. School has become an endeavor to do what is minimally necessary to get the grade desired. Maybe it is backlash against too much homework, but let's get real. Were student really thinking when they had to use books to do their papers? NO! Editors did the thinking for the students. Now we have the Internet and editors are out of the loop. People must be taught to adjust their thinking... teachers included. Point. Click. Think? (washingtonpost.com)

That last post has some problems in methodology, I think. First Person Shooters (FPSs), where people have to react as quickly as possible could elicit the problem of reduced emotional and creative abilities. To me those games are the LEAST fun. The ones where one has to locate items, solve problems, and basically use one's head are the really fun games.
I only really enjoy FPSs when playing against others. Then I am pitting my sneakiness (read: creativity) against their superior reaction skillz.
Don't really understand why anyone would play only FPSs. RPGs and community interactive games seem much more enticing.

From a spam... "Unhappy with your Breast size?" uh... yeah. I'd like them to be smaller. They have been known to be larger than some females I know. As a guy that is just embarassing.
