Johnson vs. Hillary

Johnson finds a lot wrong with Hillary's argument for controlling video games. In fact, the only thing that he agrees with is that kids are not getting excercise from them, but even then he gives a good point that reading or doing homework is not getting kids excercise either. He thinks the overall idea for controlling video games is silly aswell, because more violence is found in football players than kids who like video games. Video games actually provide an outlet for most kids, so instead of provoking violent behavior video games are preventing a lot of people from actually going out and doing things like stealing cars. This is one of the many good points Johnson made in his letter, and I fully agree with absolutely everything he said. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I agree with this statement in the fact that Johnson brings up a good point about obesity. Video games take away from a child's exercise but then again so does homework. So why ban video games when they actually help kids release anger and better their hand-eye coordination.

I agree with your comment completely when you said that you couldnt have said what Johnson said better yourself. I think Johnson made some completely valid points, and really knows what he is talking about.
