Gamers are Childish

Let’s begin this very frivolous piece of writing, article or blog whatever you decide to call it with one of the big questions;
Are the majority of gamers big children?
And by children, I do not mean just simply by age and the way they simply act childish, I mean do they not have the ability to grow up? Is this why they’re so addicted to gaming and forget that there is a world outside of their computer screens? Of course in some fine cases, you’ll find people such as Dennis ‘walle’ Wallenberg, who has turned the enjoyment he had gaming into a job, probably even a career with some leading companies once his time is finally up playing. And yes, you could point out dozens of these people, but it Is still a small majority of these people that earn money from playing games, and an ever smaller majority that earn GOOD money. But the money they earn does not establish the fact they’re mature. Just connect to any random public server and make any smart remark, to then be flooded with complete idiocity. Where comments such as ‘n00b’, ‘stfu’, and other remarks are the only things for them to come back with? Why? Because their children. It’s the only thing they know. It’s the same as when you argue with a child that cannot yet speak fluently, all he will answer is ‘No, no, no’.
Gamers act childish, because they can get away with it.
Gamers, according to most of the studies done always show negative results, and we cannot deny that. At the same time, some positive results are given, such as the one story where it was said that to be able to fly a certain helicopter, you would need to reactions of a gamer, and possibly only gamers could ever fly It, that’s good, right? Now name one gamer you know that is now has actually pulled his finger out of his ass and decided that he should try to fly this helicopter and went down to the army career’s office and thought about trying out for the army? Or even had the qualifications to? Oh wait, he left school so he could play video games? Right, I see. So this means he doesn’t have the qualifications either. Again, a few exceptions but very minimal, if it isn’t national service very few people.
please note; this is something I started writing about a year ago, it's far from finished, it hasn't even been revised so please forgive any mistakes, typos etc.
I'm still willing to argue the point that most gamers are childish.
