Death By Interwebs
Published August 6, 2009 | 
Ok well not really, it was the people who didn’t like the kid on the net that killed him but yeah. In China, oh glorious China, a camp set up to beat addiction has killed a boy because he suffered from internet addiction. He was beaten to death, reason is China banned the use of shock treatment so they punished him by beating him. Apparently though internet addiction is bad enough that they send kids to camps to beat it. Just like a drug… I guess, and about 10% of their 100 million internet users are addicted. Read the article here.
I dunno but this begs the question, whatever happened to personal responsibility? AND where the heck are the parents to let their kid get so called “addicted” in the first place? Shouldn’t they be monitoring how much time the child has on the internet to begin with? The internet is not a drug, yes it can be addicting but can’t they spend time with their kid? Can’t they tell him to go out and do something or limit his time? I had something else to spew out in this journal but I’ve lost it now. Oh well. I’ll leave it at that for now.
Sand Theives!
Published August 1, 2009 | So I hear a lot of ridiculous news but this one really just caught my attention the other day. The Mexican government has decided to close Cancun beach for apparent sand theft. They replaced the sand after a hurricane in like 2005 something like that and now the sand is disappearing again. The sand is washing out to see again but hotels are also starting to snitch it. Kind of humorous that hotels would steal sand but yea. Still find it silly that the government is closing a beach because they are worried over sand…shouldn’t they be worried about other things of greater importance like…drug cartels? The article is here. Moving on!
I get the Glenn Beck newsletter and I found it interesting that Texas is standing up to Obama and his universal health care. Good for you Texas, bought time someone stand up against him. Check out that article here. We don’t need a health care system like Canada or the UK. I know how much fail they are from talking to friends that live there. Plus it’s not gonna help our trillion dollar debt either.
Shifting to my own life! *gasp* We had some friends over the other day and had like a game-a-thon which was pretty fun. We all got to Monopoly, Antwerpen edition, which was amusing to me since Antwerp is not THAT big compared to a lot of other cities but they have editions of everything for it. Anyways this game was brutal I took out one guy and a friend took out my hubby and we both owned at least half the board. I was already in the lead but he wanted to hang in there and he had bought so many houses that there were none left in the bank. All my streets were packed with hotels. He kept landing on mine, and since I had stuff like utilities and trains which I kept landing on it spared me most of the time from his spaces. Pretty much everything on the board cost $600 or more if landed on. He barely was hanging in there, then the chance card of repair your houses came up for him and that finally made him sink. I say it was just revenge for taking me out last time with his street of hotels. )<
And to end on a nice note, I found this really spiffy photoshop brush site a while back and thought I would share it with all you lovely visitors. Their brushes and textures and whatever else are very nice quality. Check that out here.
Do any of you folks remember the Petz programs? Does anyone still play it? I ask cause I do and I’m wondering if anyone would want to trade petz. lol
