Comment on Parents, not video games, are responsible for children by Lindsay

Lindsay — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 15:44:32 +0000

As much as i’d like to agree, i’d like to disagree. First of, unless YOU ARE a parent, you have no idea and cannot say anything abou at raising a child. Even if you are, you still cant say anything about raising someone else’s child. When you have a child who likes to play your shadow, i think a little tv doesnt hurt to direct their attention elsewhere while you are trying to get things done like homework, dishes, laundry, anything that NEEDS to get done. I used to be one of those people that would judge a parent with a screaming child in the store, until i was that parent. Everything under the sun won’t please a child if they dont want to be there. You have to be in a parent’s shoes to know why they do what they do. Second, i’d like to say that all human beings like to have their freedom and do not like to be “controlled”. You can’t tell a child to do something and expect them to just do it. I know if someone was to tell me to do something, id be less motivated to do it. So if you were to tell your child they couldnt play that video game, what do you think they would do…seriously? I’ve seen this happen when my brother was younger. I know they have regulations on video games like you have to be 18 to buy them…but you can still have access to playing the game. I’ve known many people to have snuck around behind their parents backs to do something they “weren’t supposed to do”. You can’t control them. You can only guide them. You also cannot control what the game creators decide to put out. Just like cant control gun manuacturer’s from making guns. It’s all about education of a substance. You also cannot shelter your kids from their environment. Media plays a huge role in being a part of that. If you shield your kids from this then how are they ever going to induce right vs. wrong? I’ve known parents who are good christian people try to “control” their child and they turn to drugs or violence as a form of rebellion. With this being said, i agree that parents are the first influence, but they are not necessarily the only one or the main one.

Comment on Why do people talk during movies? by Cal

I stopped going to the movies for a while but have started again.

You have to pick the right time, mid afternoon and you get the ‘women of a certain age’ who live in a world of their own …… I went over to two of them ‘please stop talking while the movie is on’ they couldn’t have looked more shocked if I had pulled a gun on them…

After discusssing what I had done they did actually shut up …. from now on I will adopt a zero tolerance, if they don’t shut up when I ask I will get a staff member, not good as I have over an hours drive to the movies and I don’t want to miss several minutes of it.

There are other anoying types – the fat guy who thinks he is a stand up comedian … texters …

Comment on Multi-tasking moms juggle work, family and school by lindsay

I wanna make a bet these ladies are married. Its probably a little easier having the support system vs. Being a single mother. Not tomention most of the kids are in school so that can take a strain off their backs. What i am most irritated about is that lv had decided to get rid of their daycare. It would of been easiest for me to do that than to search for a daycare that met my standards

Comment on MCC still smokin’…but not for long by Romona

Romona — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 03:38:03 +0000

Yeah, MCC everyone still smokes in their cars…so what is the difference. I am a committed to smoking and several times following your no smoking rule (when I was car-less) almost got hit by one crossing the street to smoke. C’mon.

Comment on Students need more sleep by wartica

wartica — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 18:35:35 +0000

When I was going for my bachelor’s degree, I got next to no sleep for about four years straight. I would still have a load of energy during the day but I would have no clue how though. I would still hit the gym five to seven days a week even being deprived of quality sleep. I look back now and wish I would have cared more for my own well being. I’m just glad that I learned sooner than later.

Because the website still has many unresolved anomalies, it is still, as of November 27th, in the Beta stage which is only open to the users who participated in the Magic Quill search. There is no official release date for the public version, but those who want to stay in the know of the progress can find up to date information via the Pottermore Insider by following the link below.

I’m satisfied with Pottermore. I loved the books, and the extra insights make the experience exciting. And just like what you said, you get to be a “student” of Hogwarts, which is really cool!
