We as people work to live.  We don't live to work.

Although it is important to have a career path that you enjoy.  I really
enjoy programming, and working with technology.  I bring that home with
me after work at times as well because it is fun.

That is the oldest and weakest argument against video games.  Columbine,
although tragic, was the result of bad parenting alone and not the video
game Doom.  Anyone who acts improper behavior they see in video games,
television, or the movies already has a skewed sense of right from
wrong.  That could be due medical conditions, or simply not having been
taught.  It would be absurd for our society to block that material
because of a few bad people.
