You're kidding, right? I listen to complaints from people in Europe all day long and from Americans, women there are just as unhappy. How about we agree that the world is a miserable place?
I'm a gamer, and an artist - so my ex's usually buy me some interesting things. But, I can honestly say I've appreciated them all as what they were, an attempt if nothing more.

I'm sorry, WoW/other video games are not the cause of obesity. I've played WoW since it was released, and it hasn't caused weight gain. I could lick my computer for days, and all I'd get is weird looks and dust in my mouth occaisionally. Can't say that about a Big Mac. I'd probably gain a pound just thinking about it. In fact, I feel fatter already.
People are only exposed to the most extreme and disturbing players of video games. Peoples problems don't come from the game. The game may not help, admittedly, but they aren't the cause. The adults or families in the news worthy examples of 'horrible gamers' have far more underlying issues than a video game.
