Missed some doco that was on last night talking about computer games. My kids aren’t allowed much time playing them so I know I have some battles to come.
An argument has been mooted that computer games will be the new sport. Which is quite interesting. Sports were devised to train warriers and hunters how to fight and hunt.
I’ve been participating in a forum discussion over at DigitalPoint on the topic of sex as a commodity. The views have been interesting and because most of the members are male there’s a definate slant to the conversation.
Lets face it, what guy wants to think that his best feature is his wallet?
How often in a day do people tell you things, expecting you to comprehend the hidden question?
A simplistic example
My kids and their mates then come up to me (and I shouldn’t take these philosophies and practice on them but…) and say things like
“I’ve finished my juice”
“Mmmm, so you have”
Drugs aren’t something I think about, my life is too busy and my kids are too young – and I was never into them anyway. I was looking at another site and clicked on the ad to see what it was about. I’m normally immune to ads so it full marks to the designer 😉 I ended up at an anti drugs site called freevibe.
I work a couple of days a week for a big American company and have only used their email address at ittoolbox.com so I’m not sure where the spam is coming from but I’ve had a few 419 type emails. Here’s an extract from one:
I was driving home from last night listening to a radio journo on NewstalkZB reporting on the Graham Capill case. He was doing an opinion piece and mentioned that he’d gone “into cyberspace” and that people were commenting on the case.
I’m no legal gun but here’s a scenario from my ideal world.
I’m in a hotel, and I have a hissy fit and whack a member of staff with a phone causing injury and stress. The staff member has every right to do a job without being assaulted so the cops get called.
If the “problem” is a police matter then why does it appear to world that I can open my wallet and fork out $$$ to buy the police off. Ok, I’m buying my victim off, but I get 2 for the price of 1.
I visited my Chiropracter the other day and he had an article entitled Day care prevents child cancers. Catchy title and I asked why he was distributing it, when on a first glance the article appeared misleading (junk science?).
