Parents today are letting their kids make horrible decision.

Was talking to a child psychologist who told me kids who game a lot start to display an almost autistic behavior. They can curb it by 3 months of no game time. (What in the hell is wrong with parents that even let this happen!)

Also have been told by special-ed teachers, studies are now showing that prolonged screen time under the age of 7 leads to lower I.Q.s.

One of the universities in the U.K. had an article about 6 months ago that stated they are worried about the current crop of up coming docs cuz they have no motor skills that are needed for surgery.

Docs I know at teaching hospitals are really upset that the resident docs have to look up everything on their phones. They haven’t memorized what they should have in school!

We are going to pay a high price for “progress.”

The 194 members of the World Health Organisation have recognised 'gaming disorder' as an illness [...]

Does that mean that sufferers are now entitled to "handicapped parking" when they blow into Vegas for the weekend?

I’m no gambler and couldn’t pick the winner of a one person race. Somehow I’d get it wrong.

A former co-irker was lottery ticket buyer and I chipped in a few bucks every so often for the office pool. Nothing came from it.

Nice, that you didn't have to irk your fellow employees alone - that you had a "co-irker."
