But even though they have started on the obese, and some anti groups are losing funding, and probably changing the final numbers on the reports made by WHO and other study groups, well I never saw this new one coming.
I grew up as a child in the 50’s and 60’s and we did this same thing every night since the time I was born and I have watched children and others doing the same thing and never thought, or even dreamed that they would start finding this as not being good for young children.
My first question would be, Where and when are they going to stop meddling in our private lives? They pass smoking bans, a legal substance that is proven? far, far less dangerous to people than exhaust fumes from millions of cars. That second hand smoke, you would have to be exposed to for far more years than the majority of people will probably live to even have the tiniest of chance of getting sick from cancer or anything else. Some studies have even reported that in some people it could be helpful when it comes to health.
When I was a child we went outside and played, rode our bikes, played Army, (Oh sorry, you can’t play Army with plastic guns, they don’t allow that either.) and never had anybody talk about being obese. Then along came video games and now more and more kids sit inside day in and day out playing video games and never get outside for hours running and playing. Some may even become obsessed with playing these games to the point that other things in life are forgotten about.
But forget the beer/alcohol drinkers and the obese and the smokers, because now we have a new threat to our children. A threat that we never saw coming, because we have done this since being born. Now they want you to turn off your Televisions at night until the children are in bed and spend more time talking to your one and two year old children. So forget about the news, weather, the documentaries, forget about what happened in the world or in your town and talk to your young children or just spend time with them. Now don’t get me wrong I think children need interaction with other people, I just don’t think that you need to turn off the TV all evening.
No, what needs to be restricted is the video games. Yes, I’m not saying stop it all together, but limit their time playing video games and make sure they are outside playing ball, playing Army, riding bikes and other activities. But don’t let the government and these non-profit groups start telling you what to do INSIDE your OWN HOME. When you think of the governments, Local, State and Federal, and all the Anti-Zealots , you need to ask yourself two questions.
1. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO STOP WASTING MY TAX DOLLARS? (Had to put this one in.)
2. WHEN IN THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO GET OUT OF MY PERSONAL AND PRIVATE LIFE, AT WHAT POINT DO I SAY, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, LEAVE MY PERSONAL AND PRIVATE LIFE ALONE AND LET ME MAKE THOSE DECISIONS!!!!!!!
County, City and Federal Governments keep spending money like it was their own, and asking for more, building more and bigger schools, but yet the third largest city in Tennessee is going to close some schools and consolidate so they can make up for a $7 million dollar shortfall. See my State decided a couple years ago to bring in millions of dollars of revenue to go to schools, they would triple the tax on cigarettes and it would bring in a couple hundred million dollars a year.
The county I live in raised Property taxes because they like to spend money, taxpayer money. And they build new schools, but yet they have 186 less students this year than last year, but their budget is more this year. I don’t know about you but I’m sick and tired of pinching money so they can tax more and spend more.
