did something stupid i am predicting a weeks grounding. i know you'll miss my charms ((okay i was being sarcastic))

lol, only a week? watd u do?

us people over 10 deserve our freedoms. In the early times10 was considered adult. orphan and 8 was also considered an adult. Now due to popular demand suddenly 18 and older gains authority over us people who are under 18. Enough of the stereotypes. Like the under 18 arent smart enough to vote yet the citizeins of USA elects a C Average president. Also now some people think video games are bad for your brains. Its time us 13 and over deserve freedom. I know I have gone completly off topic of the entire thread and have gone off topic about EFU and have gone completly off topic about this entire post. then again its the off topic forums

Preach it, Dr. D.

I might not be very educated on American culture, but doesn't a grounding simply mean that you are not allowed to leave the house? And in the house, there is a computer? In the old days, when I lived with the folks, they used to throw me out when they were punishing me, thus making me unable to play computer.

Grounding is supposed to be a punishment. Wouldn't be much of a punishment if he could sit and play computer and have fun with his friends all day. My guess is the happy box is under lock and key.

He admitted it himself: He did something stupid. Unlike a grand majority of youths, he seems to have the presence of mind to recognize that and accept it.

Kids don't get free rides because they're kids, Dr Dragon. When you break rules, there are consequences. It's not just kids; it's universal. It's like breaking the law of gravity (falling off a roof) has the consequence of breaking you right back, in the arm or neck. If the worst you get is taking some time off from the computer and internet your parents paid for (for no other reason than you're their kid) then you should thank your lucky stars. If you think it's the end of the world when you're suspended for mouthing off to the teacher, then you're really gonna hate it when you grow up and get fired for mouthing off to your boss.

That being said...the universal fault in the adults that run your life is that they're not perfect. Everybody hurts, and everybody overreacts. The best response is not to rant about how horrible the state of your country is, but to give it some time and see if maybe you -were- in the wrong, and if so, apologize and make amends. That's why they say "think about what you've done." They also say "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Fortune favours the bold, so be ambitiously good and see what treasures life rewards you with.

P.S. Dr Dragon, might I suggest proper punctuation and a better preparation of your talking points? First you said 10, and then you said 13. You'll be hard pressed to win any people over to your side if you look like you don't really care. That being said, I wish you the best of luck in instigating your sweeping political youth reforms.

Wow. I would add something but I'm afraid to be on the recieving end of that.

hmm i got off lighter than i thought....and whern did this post become a philospoghical arguement? seriously my parent uninstalled this game i have to get a new user name :roll: i cannot seem to remember my password...also i am only 13 and i downloaded ((when i wasn't supposed to)) updates for this game and the hardware freaked, my dad fixed that what i did so there

Welcome back. You're just in time for the plague :twisted:

Totally off topic but to hell with it - Lovethesuit - falling off a roof is just proving the law of gravity to be true. (breaking the law would be floating off into space)

Doesn't it bug anyone else that all these equations we have to learn about physics like attraction is the constant times the two masses divided by the distance squared seem to be too perfect? I'm sure its more like distance to the power of 1.9995324568899 but for simplicity's sake they say its the square...imagine the errors anyone will get when calculating the attraction of two stars at both ends of the galaxy, it would be huge. (I've beaten all offtopicness records just there)

go on thomas fight the system! we'll be getting off the hook with everything soon! :twisted:

theres a plauge... S^!#... well, killing off chars is gunna be easy now...
