    Well would you look at this?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8049610.stm

    Guess what... teenagers are spending more time online. Guess that explains why I found the article then.

    I do like how they mentioned that we (meaning teenagers) should play conkers, but then stop us from doing so saying that it's dangerous. Can't win... what is the world coming to?

    The bit about sport made me laugh as well. The only thing I can think of is that they must include what we do at school. If you include free-for-all grand melees at lunchtimes, and takedown bulldog, and rugby, and a few other nice games (all of which, by the way, are forbidden according to our school rules) then I guess that we must do about 5 hours. Still ridiculous though.

    What do you think?

    "Many children are living in a "prison-like environment" surrounded by technology"

    I'm sure many prisoners would kill for a computer with internet...

    Re: Well would you look at this?

    I think it's past your bedtime.

    I also think that if you go to the park and find some conkers and start playing, it's unlikely a special agent from the CIA will appear to stop you playing, so 'they don't let us' isn't really something to worry about.

    And finally I think - conkers? Was this written in 1955?

    At least do something normal... football not been invented in this mans world?

    I'm gaming. Just waiting for my mate to hurry up with getting his supper so that I can kick his ass. Again.

    I also think that if you go to the park and find some conkers and start playing, it's unlikely a special agent from the CIA will appear to stop you playing, so 'they don't let us' isn't really something to worry about.
    Go to the park? What park? The one with all the druggies or the one with the broken glass all over it?

    And finally I think - conkers? Was this written in 1955?

    Fencing>Basketball>Football



    You have three guesses as to what sports I play. And fencing is much better than football. You get to stab people.

    Nothing wrong with gaming. Just, you know... do some free weights or a situp every now and again.

    Go to the park? What park? The one with all the druggies or the one with the broken glass all over it?
    Well I don't know what your area is like. I don't exactly live in Narnia, but the local park is still green, with trees, grass, a stream, and a breeze. I'm sure there must be somewhere outdoors you can go that's not full of working class ninjas out to get you with their trainers, mobile phones, and white lightning cans.

    Fencing>Basketball>Football
    If you were very posh, or indeed American this would be still wrong, but acceptable.

    And fencing is much better than football. You get to stab people.
    You've obviously never been to an away game at Millwall.
