A large portion of the population, mostly... under the age of 45, who don’t deal with reality - ever. They don’t know what day it is... they don’t know what their neighbor looks like. They don’t know anything… because they are constantly diverted by a machine... it takes a person away from reality because they’ve created their own reality… Because the skill set that is necessary to earn a decent living is being de-emphasized in a fantasy world of football games and shooting zombies and all that... Now you have the “knows” and the “know-nots”, because if you spend all your youth being prisoners of machines... you’re not going to know anything... you’re gonna fail. |

» he has a good point
I'm sorry but I agree with a lot of his points. We are becoming a very antisocial society where it's "akward" to interact with other human beings and we would rather be glued to the television or playing a game than to actually get out and interact with other people. Some of us gamers have a good balance but many, especially fanboys do not have a balance of this idea at all and are wasting their lives away.

» Good point?
Someone was saying he has a good point. The society isn't becoming antisocial because of video games. It's becoming antisocial because you don't know if your neighbor is murder or rapist and it is just harder to trust people now-a-days. I don't really understand why they think gaming isn't a social event. It gives people things to talk about, a reason to get together that doesn't cause bodily harm (assuming you don't play 48hrs straight).

bill o'reily may be a conservative nut job, and his statements may not be entirely true, but there is A LOT of truth to what he is saying. i've seen people who've practically lost their souls to games like diablo and world of warcraft. i love video games and they're my favorite hobby and i give up some social time to have more time for them. but i still try and maintain a balance between video games and other things so that i don't lose my whole future. heed his warning to a degree and don't dismiss it just cause he insults your favorite passtime. he's not making all this up, folks. and im surprised how accurately, albeit unfairly, he has described the situation.

» Faux News
Bill O' Lie-ly might have a point about machines being the cause for the deterioration of the American Society... although the true culprit has got to be television. Especially since people actually listen to and believe the propaganda that is broadcasted by Faux News and everything else that Ruppert Murdoch owns. The scary thing is that O' Lie-ly believes his own spin, especially the Jihadist comment. I'm sure he would prefer everyone to stop wasting time with fictitious imperialism and genocide found in some video games, and participate in the real thing by signing up for the war in Iraq. David Letterman is wrong... EVERYTHING Bill O' Reilly says is crap.

Treating us "alcoholics"... So car, bikes, PC hardware freaks, those who play solitaire games, chess games, etc... are all "alcoholics"? I never knew that people seeking fun are ranked as "alcoholics"... that big old fart doesn't even know how to hold a controller and pretends to know what gaming is?

Who the hell are you to tell us that we're gonna fail in the future?

THis leads us again to "GTAgate" where psychopaths outrun the police or shoot people around him just because "they can do it on GTA"...
"Speaking of wars, O'Reilly says game consoles has made him fear for the United States because "believe me, the Jihadists? ... they’re not playing the video games.

yeah, it has nothing to do with bad parenting, or the fact that over 80% of the country is working poor, thus creating the desperate, survive or die situations that can cause certain people to do horrible crimes.
nope. it's video games. the root of all evil.
there was recently evidence brought to light that Cain bludgeoned Able to death with a Nintendo DS. and the reason why Japan bombed Pearl Harbor was because the US got the highest score in Dig Dug.
video games are not completely innocent from influencing certain people from committing heinous crimes, but if one were to fully explore the backgrounds and lifestyles of those criminals who use the "gaming made me do it" excuse, they'd find that almost all of them have a past history involving poor parenting, abuse, and being outcast by his/her peers in the social heirarchy simulator known as high school.
i've been playing video games since 1985, and the only thing that kept me from punching a hole through my sisters chest like in Mortal Kombat was because my mother (you know, those people that feed, clothe and house you while you're a young tyke; and sometimes when you're an adult) taught me the difference between right and wrong. i don't go out stealing and maiming and raping people because i know better.
i'm sick of faux politicians diverting Americans from the real issues that matter (ie, curing diseases, homelessness, unemployment, the constant degradation of American values), and trying to pin the blame on machines that are created simply for the entertainment of others (and to make a profit of course, but that goes without saying).
Bill O Reilly should be dipped in horse manure and forced to parade around the city with a propellor beanie on his head.

» Such mean-spiritedness....
Actually, the reason why a lot of troops in WWI were doing that was because the military in general back then wasn't too comprehensive in their training systems.
This meant that whatever training they had, it just couldn't prepare them for the harsh realities of battlefield shock.
Remember - it wasn't until WW II that the concept of "Shell Shock" or post-traumatic stress disorder became a part of modern psychology.
Don't go blaming this on propaganda - and no, a lot us are at least aware enough to know that we're in Iraq for the wrong reasons - why do you think the Democrats had so much support during the recently concluded elections?
And by the way, no need to label politically - that kind of pigeon-boxing may make for easier comprehension, but it breeds bigotry too.

» He's paid to say that
Bill OReilly is paid based on the number of viewers he has. The more controversy he creates, no matter how retarded it sounds, the more people will watch. He says these things because he knows it will create controversy and therefore get more attention. More viewers means better ads, which means a bigger bonus for himself.
Intellectuals will never support the level of extremism required to create the world Bill OReilly describes. However, Bill's on TV and TV is all about ratings.

He says these things because he knows it will create controversy and therefore get more attention. More viewers means better ads, which means a bigger bonus for himself.

» O'Reilly Is An Old Fool
Bill O'Reilly knows nothing about the people who play games. Yeah there may be some people who don't have a life and that is all they do is play games, but I think a majority of the people who enjoy games are intelligent and hard working people. I personally love games and have played them since the early 80's and have owned and still own many games and systems. I stood in line for launches and even spent hundreds of dollars at a time for games and equipment to play them but that is just a hobbie I enjoy. O'Reilly just doesn't know what the times of today is all about and he wants to be stuck in an absurd past. That is something I can't stand about old fools, they can be so judgmental and misinformed that they rant and rave about everything from how the world is today to about how it should be and don't realize what things are really going on sense they are stuck in their little shell of reality themselves. I personally have a pretty good job troubleshooting and fixing high tech equipment and if anything videogames have helped me get interested in learning more about technology and cultures. Old man O'Reilly needs to just die already and let someone else unstinky and new with an open knowledgeable mind take over.

You can apply this logic to anything. Why isn't he attacking TV and Movies to harshly ? They are even worse as you just sit there and mindlessly gobble up information other people feed you....and commercials....oh wait, this guy is on TV, guess that explains that :P
Seriously, video games at the least enhance your relfexes and hand eye co-ordination. Many more work on problem solving skills and task management, as well as organizational skills. Not to mention with live and everyone having headsets we now have social learning being involved...
So this guy is an old-washed up piece of ***** in my mind...i've been playing games since I was 7, now i'm in university with a b+ average, no rocket scientist, but far from the "know-not" he thinks I am. Who the ***** uses that term anymore anyways.....trying to get more baby boomer viewers I guess...

» Way to be unbiased
I don't agree with Bill O'Reilly frequently, and most certainly not in this case, but I think that bringing in Rush Limbaugh is totally off topic and a blatant attack by a biased writer for this website. And if you are going to attack someone get your points right. Rush Limbaugh is not addicted to painkillers.

Well for one thing O'Reilly isn't Republican. But the other thing is that this website needs to stop revealing its left-wing bias and start reporting some real game news. You just lost your credibility QJ.NET! Anyway, I was talking to my friend and said "Wow this sunlight is just like on GTA" and he said "You mean the GTA sunlight looks like the real thing don't you?" lol. Bill's right.

Lots hate on this piece of ***t news.
I'm getting straight A's, I know all my neighbors, I have a social life AND a Job, and I play Games for like 14hrs a week or more. O'Reilly should listen to what the people have to say about the crap he says, and I bet a ***t-load of it won't be pretty.

Playing video games is not causing any harm to society. He says that games make people stupid? My father is a history professor. I maintain a 4.0 GPA. My brother is an alumni of Pitt University Law School. We all play video games. O Reilly's comments are ludicrous.
Games are a drug? Well, a lot of drugs are illegal. Gaming isn't. You know what is also illegal? Sexually harrassing a co-worker. High five Bill!
One last thing. What's the difference between sitting on your ass all day playing video games, and sitting on your ass all day watching the news? Nothing. But Bill makes money from one of the two, so you won't see him protesting.
I lost a lot of respect for O Reilly.
