Games make undergradute students smoke pot? methinks games are not a factor...

Games dont do these things to you, its just that these are the people playing games

Give this man the "I understand science" award

I fucking hate it when people report on a study not knowing what it actually says. The study does not say playing video games is bad for your rleationship. It says playing games excessively and a badrelationship often occur together. The two facts could be explained in any number of ways. Causation (i.e. video games create a bad relationship) cannot be given by this type of study. There simply is no evidence to point to it. I hate these studies because almost no one who sees them understands that simple concept.

Edit: This is targetted at Gamepolitics and other people who write news stories about these studies and not anyone in this thread. It is understandable for the average person to be ignorant on the subject they are reading about. It is bullshit for a new site to report ona subjectthat no one who works there really understands.

funny thing is my friends are gamers, and games made our friendship better

doing anything excessively can destroy a relationship

 No the funny thing is that doesn't contradict the study at all, but it does contradict gamepolitics article. This is just saying if you got a 1,000,000 people gamers you would find x% of them smoke pot where as if you got 1,000,000 random people y% would smoke pot where x > y.

How many of those ruined relationships are from WoW users??

And smoking pot is a bad thing how? I'd like to see more games about drugs, like my friend's game. Prohibition 3: Candy Wars, http://forum.freestateproject.org/index.php?topic=16701.0
