EPTI am almost always a proponent of freedom, democracy, progress and all that. But what it comes to MMORPG's, I can't help but be glad that people will be required at one point to get some food and go to sleep.

rofl if there's one common theme of Korean parental stress it's trying to answer the question of "how do i get my son to stop playing computer games T.T" . Parents try but the results haven't been good. | ||

As long as they aren't violating other citizen's rights they should be able to do whatever they want. Freedom always has a better outcome than planning. | ||

Enacting your beliefs and way of quality life to your children becomes your job and if you're the one letting them not follow through with their responsibilities and to rot in front of a computer, its the parent's problem. Prioritizing eating properly, brushing your teeth, sleeping and other things that are necessary to quality life should be, I hope to god, common sense. It's things like this that give gaming a bad name, however it's not up to the government to hand-hold us in being humans. It's our jobs (and our parents, if one is a naive 15 year old) | ||

I don't like restrictions like this, but people are being regulated by their governments all the time. It's neither new nor particularly extreme. | ||

Also to add, in Thailand is it against the law for Internet cafe to allow students in DURING school times and late at night. This result in, kids using parents/grandparent SSN to sign up an account. And internet cafe offer cloths, for kids to switch out of theirs uniform during school hours. The system might not be the same, but this is just an idea how it was done here in Thailand. EDIT: The system was design for kids below 18, the rest have no restriction. | ||
