Why do people take things too far?

It will become plainly honest that I play a game called World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment. WoW as many know it is a MMORPG, and Blizzard has spent a lot of time making a world that can be challenging and fun. My rant today is about the people who take the game way too far. There are many people who will ridicule someone because they cant hit as hard as someone else, or don't have what they consider the right equipment. These people will also endlessly heckle someone over the smallest detail. These are also the people that you can find logged into this game any hour of any day. They say that America has become the fattest country in the world, and it's no wonder. Too many adults and children spend all of their time sitting on their asses playing WoW, or any other game of it's type, or in front of the television. Nobody seems to want to get out of the house and enjoy our world, or all the infrastructure many communities builds. Park, Museums, Zoo's. They are all tourist attractions, but I have noticed something. On a beautiful day, I went to the city I live in's Zoo. I remember as a child going to this Zoo with my parents and it was crammed tight with people. The Zoo was still busy on this day 20 years later, but not as I remember it. The crowds were at the shows, but it wasn't near what is was then. Why? I am by no means a small man, but why cant we get out more? Why cant Americans get off our collective duffs and do something instead of increasing our chances for heart disease and shortened lifespans? Beyond the health risks... the afore mentioned "gamers" do not ever unplug. They know the right thing to have at any time and will make sure you know that think you are fail. It's a game.....I pay 15 bucks like you do. I don't care about your opinion. This... obsession isn't stuck to just this game. Any type of entertainment has it's own obsessive fans. They know everything and going to tell you that you and your team are wrong. This people can take a flying leap for all I care. It's my money, my time, and all of you who thing you know everything about everything can take a long walk off a short bridge.
