    Agreed. It's just that kids on cod or mature games kinda ruin it, if you know what I mean.

    In other words, if they play a game rated M or teen, they should at least try and act like a mature person and not scream at everything. I mean cmon, 6 year olds really shouldn't be playing video games to start off with, they should be enjoying their childhood.

    And now for the weather.

    I disagree immensely.

    If you're telling people like PewDiePie and Markiplier and SkyDoesMinecraft and CaptainSparklez that they don't have a real job, that's completely wrong. They make plenty of money, because gaming is their job. It's entertainment. It's like saying all actors should get a real job.

    But you're saying that these 12-year-olds, who just make videos for fun in their free time are "not living their life properly?" I'm sure plenty of those people do perfectly fine in school, and when their mommy or daddy lets them have their allotted 15 minutes of computer time on "kidfriendlyminecraft.com," they like to record something. Of course they're not going to become famous if they're not doing something special like ACTennisAC, but it's fun for them. They can do a fun thing.

    There is no reason that kids should not play video games. Of course they shouldn't be playing Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, but if they want to play Minecraft, LET THEM PLAY MINECRAFT. Not every kid likes sports and running around outside.

    "COME ON JOHNNY, ALL YOUR FRIENDS PLAY FOOTBALL."
    "I don't like football."
    "TOO BAD I'M FORCING YOU TO."

    You're telling Markiplier and PewDiePie and SkyDoesMinecraft and CaptainSparklez and Smosh and Jacksepticeye and Syndicate and everyone in Machinima and everyone in RoosterTeeth and AntVenom and CavemanFilms and NerdCubed and Paulsoaresjr and all of the members of the YOGSCAST and Danny2462 and Tiametmarduk and Aarava and IntoTheBarrier and KSI that they need real jobs? They have real jobs.

    Not everyone is going to be an accountant at a desk, or a math teacher.

    This guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jann_Mardenborough), Jann Mardenborough, was in a contest in the racing game Gran Turismo. He beat 90,000 people by playing games and earned a drive with Nissan for the Dubai 24 Hour race. He then raced in other racing series, like European Formula 3. And he now races in GP3, which is only two steps down from F1, the highest level of motorsport. He went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and now holds the world record for fastest supercar time up the hillclimb. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED FROM PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

    None of those 12-year-olds who are trying to be like their idol, Sky, are "idiot kids who will get nowhere in life." It's a hobby. Let the kids have fun.
