Now I'm starting to think that video games will be the next restriction...

Doing so will increase the likelihood that they will end up even more fucked up than if you had you let them watch TV and play games.

Please provide proof.

How does depriving a kid of TV or video games make them fucked up? I grew up with no TV or video games because we were too poor. I'm way less fucked up than this Halo kid.

Granted, I was raised well. :p If you're raised well, it doesn't matter if you get TV or games or what---you'll be fine, either way.

Oh, and a minister with a gun? :confused:

A shining example of christian forgiveness by the father.

At least they can all laugh about this in heaven. Since this life we live is of no real importance.

How do you need proof for that?
What the hell are you even talking about?

Yeah someone show proof that depriving a child of what every single other child has/will be doing/talking about/relating to has a chance to make him fucked up.

How would he even know about Halo if he's locked in the basement?

Are you advocating parenting via peer pressure? Dude, that is NOT a good idea.

Well I suppose you could try the "It puts the lotion on its skin" approach to parenting.

Maybe if they didn't own a gun, this wouldn't have happened.

Of course it's still the kids fault, but I'm just saying...
