Dude... that's just... sad. On so many levels.

I can understand getting lost in a game to the point where you fall asleep while on the computer (done this a few times lol), but forgetting to feed a child is just messed up =\

Some sins are beyond the grace of God.

Well there you go. /generalizing

Great. Just what I neede to read after a crappy week.

Disturbing, but sadly it's not beyond anything the human psyche is capable of.

Only if they removed themselves from the gene pool. Unfortunately they removed their poor baby from it. So no such awards will be passed out.

I know, but they did it in an indirect way. "Removing" their genes from the pool in an overall sense. Yes it's morbid, but the sheer lack of common sense just astounds me.
It's like from the comic strip Pearls Before Swine, where the character Rat feels that there are people who should be forced to wear a shirt that says "Do not breed with me."

I would support a "do not breed with me" t-shirt law

Dang. I saw the title of this thread and I thought "Holy crap! A lawnmower man reference! " But I was wrong.
On the topic this is why I hate computer games. It sucks in people and they lose their entire lives to it. There's never a end. That's why I hope they never make a MMO for a console. Half the f-ing planet would turn into WoW fatties and never leave their house.

I dont understand. What do these people have for brains?

Its not the games, its the people with no self-control/ common sense/ humanity/ soul.

But it is partly the game. Because there is no end to the game. So it feels like real life which is why they get involved in it and forget about real life.

[Carnage_Black3]

That's why I dabble mostly in FPSs. Safer that way.

I never found that to be a legitimate excuse. It's just a way out of personal responsibility. If millions of people can enjoy it without issue, but a few thousand have issues, it's not a problem with the game, it's a problem with those few thousand.
