Your argument is that parents are ALWAYS 100% to blame for 'lazy kids who play video-games all day. Am I right? If I'm misinterpreting your argument then forgive me, and please correct me.
Yes, yo are wrong. You are using the slippery slope fallacy here...you should be smarter than that.

My counter-argument is that parents are not ALWAYS to blame, because some kids (ADHD) are genetically predisposed to ONLY being stimulated by such activities, as video-game playing. They have a neurological inability to sustain attention when it comes to tasks such as homework and chores.
The point is, you are reading WAAAAAAY too mucn into this, as it seems many psyche students do. Read the OG post again and use your critical thinking skills to see what I am getting at.

Symptoms of ADHD can be seen even in infants. This disorder is present at birth. Case being, parents are NOT always to blame.
Where in thise whole thread did I disagree with anything ABOUT ADHD other than it can be OVER diagnosed in children? You fail to realize that I have had the same schooling as you and know what ADHD, autism, Dissociative Identity Disorder, parahilia(s). etc is/are. I dont need a "collegaue" trying to "game me up" or educate me on any subject pertaining to psychology.

In no way am I defending poor parenting tactics, which as a result have conditioned poor work-ethic in children.

So what is it that I don't get?
This is what I am driving at. Instead of saying a kid has ADHD becuase they dont do constructive things, look at it from a childs prospective. Would you rather study in school or play video games? Would you rather make your own food, or have someone do it for you? If you dont get your way, do you stop or persist? These are not assesments of a neurological problem, these are traits of CHILDREN with no structure, discipline or boundaries. These are things PARENTS are supposed to endure onto their children. Where do our personalities, morals, and ethics come from at that age? Our PARENTS. Where are the parents in this scenario? We dont know becuase it is not mentioned, but it sounds like he/she/they are not around too often/dont give a shit what they do as long as they arent in their hair. THAT, is BAD parenting and pure LAZINESS on the part of the parent. They are trasnferring their laziness to their child as a personality trait.

On top of ALL that, their are no CLEAR signs of ADHD in the behavior they are expressing other than they like to play video games ALOT, which is not UNCOMMON in children.

BTW, i apologize for attacing you and being a dick. Thats childish on my part.

^^ No worries. I do admit that I took a more psychological approach to the thread than I should have. I completely understand what it is you are saying about the importance of structure and discipline in parenting. In no way am I debating that.

Yes the thread was originally about kids who are just lazy and play video-games all day. And a lot of time it is bad parenting. I just noticed that most people were so quick to blame the parent at an instance.

The point I was making goes beyond the thread topic. I was merely arguing that it isn't always the parent who is to blame. As you may have an excellent parent who still continuously struggles with their child, due to something that is out control of the child and the parent.

But yes, I went a bit off topic. I do admit that. lol.

This thread is about kids, yet you keep rambling about your baby'z mama and how much of a cunt she is, and how bitches are this and bitches are that. Stay on topic.

What happened to your argument for Shea to stay on topic when you were off on your ADD - Babymama - message board psychological diagnosis - tangents?

Playing video-games all day, and not wanting to do or having trouble focusing on school work, chores, etc., is a symptom of ADHD.

Yes, this thread is about kids who play video-games all day. The thread title asks "What the hell is wrong with kids nowdays?"

I answered, just that. Everyone else was quick to blame the parents, i went about it from a different perspective. A more out of the ordinary perspective, but a nevertheless a very possible perspective.

Overall, I was still answering the question of the thread. What MAY be wrong with SOME of these kids, and what MAY not necessarily be a product of bad parenting. I simply chose to sway away from the most common and most obvious answer- bad parenting. I don't see that as going off on a 'tangent', I see that as thinking outside the box.

Personally i don't have any kids yet, and i thank god everyday i didn't give birth to a retard yet, but im around these lil' pukes all the time, everyday. My girls sisters got hella kids. And they're all fuckin lazy and helpless. Can't none of them do shit for themself. The shit is hella irritating most times cause when i was 9 years old, i was already workin a job, vacuuming and trashing buildings, i was waxing floors making them mutha fuckaz shine. watchin my brothas and cooking and shit when i was like 7years old...LITERALLY. I really didn't have a childhood cuz i turned 30 at the age of 9. SOOOOO ANYWAYZ...............

I just understand why these kids can't read yet. sit on the fuckin couch allday. Don't know how to use the microwave, can't pour they own drinks, spill shit everywhere, can't wash a dish, can't serve they own food. Tell them to feed the dogs and they put not even a handfull of food in the bowls. Leave their shit everywhere. Beg and beg and beg and beg for more shit. Ask the same question over and over and over.

BUT THEY CAN MASTER PLAYSTATION and Wii like they're GOD.

I wanna fuckin punch these mutha fuckas in the face hella hard just onetime. so i can wake the lil' bastards up.

okay im done venting... but foreal I fuckin hate kids. ands I feel sorry for the future.

lmao at playing video games all day being a sign of adhd

Care to explain what is it that you found to be so humorous?

A few quotes from an article on ADHD. If you are questioning my source, feel free to google 'ADHD' and 'videogames' and research it for yourself.
ADHD Behavioral Patterns
By Joseph M. Carver, Ph.D.

ADHD Children have very low levels of attention, focus, and concentration. Normal concentration/attention allows us to listen to conversation or watch a television program with extra attention to spare - to monitor the environment, listen for the oven buzzer or others in the house. ADHD Children may only have half the concentration of non-ADHD individuals. For this reason, if they intensely focus on a television program or play a computer game, they have no extra attention with which to monitor their environment. When playing a game, they don't hear calls for lunch because all 50% of their attention is on the game.....

...Both research and clinical experience tells us that ADHD Children can exhibit a type of "hyperfocus" - intense concentration and single-minded focus when the activity is very interesting. This situation is most often found when ADHD Children play computer games. ADHD Children may have an amazing ability to hyperfocus on a computer game, one of the few things that moves fast enough to maintain their attention, unlike homework or routine chores.
@DFresh, if you are going to attempt to insult me by repeatedly telling me I'm wrong, at least insult me by providing some evidence on WHY I'm wrong. I will be more than happy to admit that I am wrong, if the proper evidence is presented.

Simply telling people they are wrong, without stating why they are wrong nor providing any evidence on why they are wrong, is moronic.
