The sad thing is that kids these days spend time in front of a tv that was once spent roaming the neighborhood, hitting the pools, climbing trees, playing pick up football/baseball/basketball games with other neighborhood kids, making out in the neighborhood park et cetera. [/quote]
What area are you living in where this shit is an option without worrying about the 13 & 14 year old kids selling drugs, stealing cars and carring weapons?
I have to worry about that shit where I live. Fucking 13 year old kids, 13, stabbing people in the park.
The high school 1 “town” over from where my kid is going to go, is gangland central. Less than 5 mins drive from my house are streets where you can’t walk down if you belong to the wrong ethnic group, and the Hell’s Angels won’t go, their club is couple blocks down.
So shit like:
Is putting your life at risk. Not in my immediate neighborhood, I moved across the bridge, but I live close enough to the shit, where I get nervous.
So, given the choice of my son home playing COD and listening to us, or like some of his peers, out ignoring their parents thinking living a fucking rap video is cool… I’ll take a kid “ruining his life on video games” 99 times out of 99. [/quote]
Have you considered a commute?

Have you considered that not everyone in that metro area can move to the “well-to-do” neighborhoods? Have you considered the part where I said I moved across the bridge? Have you considered there are quite a few people in this world that have less choice and option than you? (God forbid you don’t shout loudly from these forums about how awesome you are, in your typical “look at me, look at me” fashion.)
Your smart ass reply is nothing but a open admission that you can’t see beyond your own nose. And fail to understand there are, in fact, people not as awesome as yourself.

LOL at another thread where the older generation comes in with their infinite fucking knowledge. God today’s youth is just so lost.
What’s funny is I have been playing videogames for 22 years now. I recently graduated with my Bachelor’s, am going back to school for my Masters’ and am doing pretty well for myself.
So I guess videogames aren’t all that bad.
Fucking generalizations are a bitch. Did you guys know all weight lifters have small dicks too?[/quote]
You cannot deny times have changed. You simply cannot. Much of what HG said is absolutely true. When I was young, we played SPORTS outside, built shit, etc. One of the first fights I remember from our youth was someone fucking up the fort we built. And my first kiss was in an underground fort we built. Maybe first fights and kisses are now had over Xbox? Whatever. I was in SHAPE, physically fit and most of my peers were too. If you could not climb the fucking rope in gym class, you were clowned. I get half the kids now can’t climb the fucking gym rope (if they have one).
I can ride around to basketball courts today that in my youth were packed every night. Now? Vacant. And basketball is certainly more popular now than ever. EVERYTHING is organized, if you’re playing a sport at all. You do NOT see kids riding bikes everywhere. We rode our bikes EVERYWHERE, even in the winter. To deny the kids of today are less active than those of my generation, is to deny reality. To deny kids today are OUT OF SHAPE, is to deny reality.
So, if they are NOT as active (and they are NOT), WHAT are they doing with their free time? PLAYING FUCKING VIDEO GAMES AND DICKING AROUND ON THE INTERNET. That’s what.
I agree with your point about generalizations though. There is a time and place for everything, even video games and dicking around on the internet. I do disagree with your “proof by personal anecdote” argument though; “I did it, and look at me, I’m okay”. That’s just fallacious.

Whoa bro! This wasn’t a smart ass reply.
Lots of people live outside the city where life is also less expensive but way less dangerous.
Disgustingly safe even.
The drive to the center for work is long of course, and a sacrifice considering traffic, but my reply was earnest.
If it’s really so bad that your kid might get stabbed for going outside there are options.
Not trying to tell you how to run your life or judge sarcastically, just saying.
And if it really is like ww3, my personal opinion (the kicker), would be that an apartment in the 'burbs would be totally acceptable and understandable.
Not raining on your parade at all.

you were on the right track, until you decided to flirt with Christine for 5 1/2 pages.
so, ummm…yeah - it is your fault.

And it did.
Points were becoming circular and Christine is fun.
