| Next up: Bleatings regarding Child Porn and Wii. You just know they are coming(so to speak...).
I have a relative(by marriage) who has raised her son with game consoles. So she can continue her self-actualizing existence, the kid has gotten one of every game console known to man, and she regularly drops off the newest titles on his bed.
Cheaper than a babysitter, easier than actually taking a parental role in the child's life. No matter that the kid evinces issues at every turn. No life compromises for that woman. The kid just stares blankly into a TV screen and occasionally drools a bit. Sometimes, he dreams of a career possibility: professional skateboarder.
Sheesh.
Perhaps if parents took a more active role in a child's life, and stopped treating technology as a way to divest themselves from their bothersome little buggers, none of this would be an issue? Ya' think?
Oh, as for that Texas News Station: You lazy, demogoguing bastards. You have the journalistic IQ of an ice cube. |
| I have one of these too!! The kid plays with his DS ALL FUCKING DAY LONG!!!! Surprisingly, he can respond quickly to question directed his way while playing. Although I can't see her buying her child a console. That would mean he couldn't take it with him EVERYWHERE THEY GO! Geeez..... |
