  3. There is no link between video games and violence, it completely depends on your perception about game. Games are just fine ,If you keep in mind, that what you are playing is just game and has nothing to do with real life.
    But, problem is that most of games nowdays have so realistic graphics, that your brain actually gets confused between real life and game.

  4. the government is lacking is so many ways. but instead of improving themselves, they'd blame other things for the things happening.
    like that one politician blamed ripped jeans. old geezers.

  5. I play 2-3 hours daily games 😂 but my parents are okk with that because they demand for marks and creative art work … which I am doing very well …. So no clashes with my parents for that.
