This kid is 11 in college so all of the girls are about 9-10 years older, do you want me to define statutory? and he probably believes all girls his age are too immature and stupid. Most likely doesn't know the phrase hit it before the hair does. "
Hell, I'm 19 and still think all of the girls my age are too immature and stupid.

The thing that bugs me about this kid is that he is obviously a tool for his parent's unrealistic dreams and expectations (Possibly because they failed?). Nothing quite annoys the shit out of me more than parents who try to force their children into specific roles and behaviors instead of letting them be individuals and find out for themselves. He is going to have some serious problems when he gets older.

From what I read of what he got a degree in that doesn't help humanity either.

The kids is an eleven year old college graduate.   I don't agree, but I'm not going to argue with anything that kid has to say.

i don't think this kid even understands what leisure is. He's like a little Spock. Have you seen the new film? The Vulcan school scene pretty much sums up how this kid was raised.

I bet the most exciting moment he has during a day is in the morning when he brushes his teeth, and then proceeds to analyze each and every ingredient in his brand new toothpaste.

"Dad! This one's got Sodium Bicarbonate in it! AWESOME!!"
"That's great Son!"
"Yeah, now let's go do something helpful for humanity!"

Complaining about a private person who thinks your hobby is a waste of time and who probably has zero influence on your life is most definitely a waste of time ;-)

He's probably only saying that because he hasn't played one. I'm assuming he has pretty strict parents if he's in college at 11. It's a shame... hopefully he'll learn the meaning of "fun" some day.

College graduate?  What the fuck does he know about the world.  I graduated from college and not some piece of shit school like he did.
Also, hes gonna grow up thinking sex is a waste of time.  Anyone ever notice that you hear about this super smart kids but then when they are older they aint shit?  Seriously, they must burn out or something but that is just really weird.  All the famous and super smart people in the world, didn't grow up like that, they are able to communicate with the world and see what is up.  I doubt this kid would consider himself smarter than bill gates, and he play guitar hero, actually he pays Slash to just play guitar for him while hes nake on a grizzly bear rug drinking an icee, thats how awesome Bill Gates is.

@lemon360: Thankyou for bumping a completely useless thread.

Anyway leave the kid alone, he'll probably end up slightly deranged in later life, I saw it on a documentary on the TV. Precocious kids and their precocious mouths.

Pointless bump. Aside from that, what makes this kid a loser? I bet you couldn't get into college when you were 11, or maybe you still are. I think it's funny that, that kid is doing something with his life and you're on the internet telling him he's a loser.

The fact that he's pulling the whole, "It does nothing for humanity" argument makes him a total loser. A LOT of what we enjoy does NOTHING for humanity, he needs to shut up.

Yeah, but it said he graduated from community college. I'm not Impressed. If he wants to be that smug I expect him to be an Ivy-league graduate or at least have gone to a state school.

You can't wow me with a community college degree even if you are 11 years old.

Whats next a 13 year old graduating from DeVry University and telling us of the evils of fatty foods?

Of course video games help the human race. Without them, there'd be much less development of affordable, powerful computing hardware. There'd be no remote keyhole surgery when it's impossible to fly a specialist doctor out to the patient. There'd be no blackberries and online finance powering the business world and keeping us all in jobs and wealth (most of the time). There'd be no portable, small computers and devices used by the emergency services to save lives.

This kid, some 11 year old who supposedly knows what art is, can't even make logical connections about human progress, has no grasp of the philosophical implications of anything, and yet somehow feels that him finding video games boring is worthy of news coverage.

I'm an anarchist, and I could gripe about the social effects of globalization and how the American economic system has caused more than its fair share of problems, and that people should be thinking crtically about their lives rather than mindlessly playing WoW, Halo 3, CoD4, or Gears 2...


But god damn it, those games are fun.

"
Yeah I have to agree, and have you seen the shit in China? Where parents send their children to become olympic champions at a really young age, and all they do is train pretty much all their life?

It's pretty fucked up if you ask me..

And I bet this kid will have a fucked up adulthood..I personally would hate to rush to become an adult.

Your criticism doesn't attack anything the 11-year old said (Strawman argument). You talk about the alleged benefits from the Industry as a whole, but the kid speaks only from an individual perspective. Even if cancer was cured thanks to a videogame related discovery, games would still be a waste of time for someone who has better things to do. He didn't say or imply, that he finds video games boring either.

I agree with him, they are a waste of time. I mean its a good hobbie, like watching t.v. or a movie, but I mean playing 80 halo 3 team slayer matches doesn't put the food on the table if you know what I mean.

On the other hand, It seems like this kid already had his childhood robbed from him, its a pity. Even if his super smart.

Alot of people with an inferiority complex in this thread, the kid obviously is better than all of us combined and our puny little minds are nothing compared to him. My advice is get over it, he is better than us.

Street Smarts are just dumb peoples excuse for their lack of education "I don't need no piece of paper, I got street smarts yo!" When in fact anyone who professes to have said smarts might be able to throw grit in his attackers eyes, but hasn't got a fucking clue how to get a job.

You would not believe the amount of "educated" people I've seen screw up simple tasks such as grocery shopping, cooking and even driving.  I've always figured that "street smarts" are a lot like common sense.  Just because you have the ability to get a job doe not mean you can be a properly functioning member of society.
