Videos games are far from reality...

        Think of this, you are swimming in a pool at your friend's house. You're in the deep end when this stranger comes by and removes the exit ladder. You start to panic when you realize that you are doomed and cannot get out of a pool without an exit ladder. If you are not familiar with this game that I'm describing, it would be "The Sims". Now don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game (a little tedious after awhile) but seriously? If you are upset with one of your family members and can't wait for them to move out - send them to the pool! Or another way is to simply build four walls around them and wait for them to starve.
        Now you are in a sports car going six quadrillion miles per hour and you rear end a car at a stop light. What do you think happened? If you said death, dents, doom, disaster or anything related to those, you would be wrong. What actually happened is the car was pushed out of the way and your car is unharmed. No airbags - no harm, right? Right. This game is Test Drive Unlimited.
        You are probably thinking that those are just games. Oh how very wrong you are! They are both simulator games. Simulator meaning a life simulation. So the moral of the story is: if you see a pool on a hot humid summer day without an exit ladder, resist temptation. Or you will die. But if you ram into a car at a million billion miles an hour, that's OK.
