      Wonder what this does to impact the results. Is NZ television very different from that of other cultures? Would that cause a stronger/less strong correlation?

      I'll bet this study could be taken further -- what factors that cause kids to resort to T.V. may also cause them to be anti-social young adults?

      This is quite vague...there will assuredly be many catastrophes in the universe in the next tens of billions of years...so what?

      This article mentions "calculations" and such but doesn't actually explain how scientists drew the conclusion...I'm seriously questioning the credibility of this article.

  • Birth control pills are effective in preventing pregnancy 98 to 99 percent of the time, but at what cost? According to Planned Parenthood, their potential short-term side effects include bleeding between periods, nausea, vomiting and breast tenderness, and many women report weight gain and low sex drive. Serious side effects include strokes, hypertension, liver tumors and blood clots in the legs, lungs, heart and brain. It’s also common for long-term pill users to develop gallstones.

  • Young adults—male and female—who play violent video games long-term handle stress better than non-playing adults and become less depressed and less hostile following a stressful task, according to a study by Texas A&M International University associate professor, Dr. Christopher J. Ferguson.
    • Ronnice Moore
       
      If this is factual then I will be excited that it is but has it been proven that it is factual?
  • “In this study, 103 young adults were given a frustration task and then randomized to play no game, a non-violent game, a violent game with good versus evil theme, or a violent game in which they played ‘the bad guy.’ The results suggest that violent games reduce depression and hostile feelings in players through mood management,” Dr. Ferguson explained.
    • Ronnice Moore
       
      If the id evidence that backs up the reason why video games help relieve stress, depression, etc then do they have statistics for it?
  • Ferguson said that the results of this study may help provide others with ways to come up with a mood-management activity that provides individuals with ways to tolerate or reduce stress.

      Personally, when I play video games it distacts me form everything else. When Im mad one of the things that calms me down is playing video games. I've been doing that since I was 11 years old. If it's been working for me this long then I'm sure that my personal expierience with video gaming can back up this article.

      The "news" is that video games are being used in therapy to help young adults and teens. But they're not just violent video games, they're also health related video games. They have certain workout games like dance dance revolution, the micheal jackson video game, just dance, (etc.) all kinds of games that help with therapy which has been proven to be sucessful.

      One of the biggest reasons living on Mars seems so impossible is the inexistence of water. With this new discovery, it could not just be possible, but probable, that solving the other issue of breathing could mean we could live on Mars.
