D&D Debate

Ah how far we have come.  This video is a debate on the news from 1985 about how responsible D&D is for things like murders and suicides involving players of the game.  I always find these old videos interesting.  People have a tendency to fear what they don't understand, but fearing D&D is just so bizarre.  I think we can all be grateful that this kind of bullcrap is over.

"I have a ring of two wishes. I wish for the door to open." Stupid kid!

Also, I love the phrase, "This is a game. Not drugs."

Did anyone ever follow up the research and 27 deaths? and the impact of other games on the young?

FYI, this is still a horribly common belief, especially among Christians who haven't bothered with any decent research. Sad, isnt it?
