and all the online games you can ever imagine.....
i went to a cafe and have a quick look at mylot because im away from home when i saw these kids so happy playing counter strike others dota, ragnarok etc...
the volume of speakers are so loud that it makes the glasses almost moving... and my ear drums popping...
im not against it... but im just concern for most kids dont eat or forgot about lunch or sacrifice their allowance for these games, they even tell excuses to be able to get an extra to get back playing again...
worst most of these kids are minor and are cutting classes...
theres been a law regulated and i know it depends to the cafe or computer rental imposing it, but we can never avoid to let earnings for their business to come and these kids are a loyal customer..
im just getting worried for most of them seemed nerdy, addicted and malnourised, weak posture, tired eyes, and even so thin and obviously not good to look at...
what do you suggest about this topic... do you feel the same concern that i do have?
are you against this?
do you have laws or some strict implementation about this?
are this online games addicting your kids too? or anyone whos your observing some addiction?
pls have some opinion...

in our place there are so many children and adults addicted to dota, counterstrike, etc.. even my brother is also addicted to these games. yes you are right, this is not a good thing. too much exposure to the computer can actually cause eye problems and the very loud sound from the headphones can damage the eardrum. speaking of these players forgetting to eat, i observed this phenomenon very well in an internet cafe..they have really taken their health for granted. i even heard of some children whose addiction has gone really mad that they would steal money just to be able to play these games.
as for the laws regarding this, i dont think there is any law addressing this. if there is any i doubt its effectiveness in solving this problem.
