Quote: Im Not Mister Mxypltk said: Why? seems like your arguments for why certain videogames could be productive could be applied to just about any media...
In which case, you'd be applying it fallaciously....Or abusively--I'm not sure which.
I freely admit that my time is wasted playing GTA and I'm almost as equally ashamed of being addicted to it as I am with masturbation. While I can't justify my habit for it, I could argue that it's better than masturabtion both socially and morally (although, it's a morality issue more from my end than from yours of course). From a social POV, lemme put it this way: I talk more with my friends about media (i.e. videogames) than I do about techniques on how to jack off. If I occuppied all of my free time with masturbation instead of TV and comicbooks, I wouldn't have much to converse with people about would I?
Quote: Dude, the clarity of mind that comes after the orgasm can be very inspiring. For example, I personally get story ideas, or new ways to look at old ideas. A couple of years I got an idea about getting ideas after having orgasms. I wrote a short film about it for school and it did very well (in fact, they're using it to promote the school). It just happens that right now I'm re-writing it because it's been involved in a professional project. I'm gonna get paid... because one day I wanked and got an idea of it.
Uuuuhh.....If that's true, then congrats, but your example is too indirect. A person could come up with any number of extraneously creative ideas in any situation--Even after car crashes or perhaps hitting your head on the toilet seat and then drawing up the blue-prints for a time-machine.
