i just saw a commercial for some video game system where a father had built his kids a playground type of thing. the announcer on the commercial told him that he should have bought the video game system instead.
when i was little, my dad built me and my brother a treehouse and swing set. personally, i wouldn’t trade in years of memories for an absent father and a video game system. if the only parts of my childhood i could remember involved staring at a flashing screen while my parents ignored me, i would not be happy. does the media actually think that it’s better for kids to waste their lives indoors than to excercise, socialize, and have fun outside? you can always watch tv, and you can always play an xbox, which is why 30 year old men still live with their mothers (i wonder where the fathers went). living with your mother for 12 extra years does not substitute for the precious moments of childhood.
Haha. Agreed. All I did as a kid was play Super Nintendo, which I still have. And play. Mariooooooooo.
Me too! But I did it in moderation, you know? When I turned 9 I started watching TV and I wasted so much valuable time reserved for just being a kid.
Same here. But then I realized that TV is just syndicated corporate crap, and by that time, there was my childhood of being outside and not looking ridiculous with an army hat on.
Have you seen the kids’ shows now? They make everything as suggestive as possible :(
I’m just waiting fro Spongebob to pull out a bottle of Gatorade or something.
