yes it is valid and getting an admit from university is also not much issue but I am now scared this refusal will start showing up on every consulate database <| sep |> I ' ve lived in the Philippines for about a year about a few months ago . Most speak very broken English . <| sep |> I don ' t think it should be illegal but I do think , as we get closer to blurring the lines between what is real and isn ' t real with technology , we should consider adding some sort of cleanser or step down method . We already have people who get so physically and emotionally involved in gaming that they are prone to outbursts outside of games . There are also many more people who don ' t get this way . I personally believe gaming should be more of an adult thing due to the development of the human brain . Gaming does have some benefits though as well . I just hope it ' s being studied more . As society becomes more automated we ' ll have more of a need to promote a healthy mindset and the current way of gaming and how it ' s perceived by society will change . In it ' s current state though , I don ' t believe we need to be that drastic .
