I can't imagine what type of person would instigate a fight and I really couldn't imagine what kind of person would video tape it and upload it for others viewing pleasure. It's sick. The people that stand by and watch violence like it's nothing are just as responsible as the ones fighting. I couldn't imagine sitting around watching while someone was physically hurt much less document it.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633357752535376982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399412527588980076.post-89485076335663865262010-08-13T17:00:13.709-07:002010-08-13T17:00:13.709-07:00This blog really caught my attention because I'...This blog really caught my attention because I've never had an actually job myself (I'm 20) and I know the older you get the more difficult it is to get one if you have no experience. However, I like your son have experience with odd jobs such as babysitting and I volunteered MANY hours and MANY years with the Boy Scouts of America helping out a friend at their summer camp. What I've come to find through my few years of job hunting (and your entry supports that idea) is that a majority of the time (when it comes to your first job) you get hired because of who you know. Every person I know that I can name got their first jobs because of someone they know. It makes it very difficult. Luckily, my step-sister is now trying to get me employed at one of her two jobs (thank goodness). Good luck to your son. I'm happy he was able to get a job.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633357752535376982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399412527588980076.post-51065170088731974592010-04-05T08:55:34.037-07:002010-04-05T08:55:34.037-07:00Hey there, linked here from 3FC and this post caug...Hey there, linked here from 3FC and this post caught my eye. I'm going to be blunt, so I'm sorry if this is rude. The more you push it away, the more your kids WILL resent you for it. Are you sure this is something you want to make an issue of? Does it REALLY hurt them? Values of todays generation are different from yesterdays, and, in general, I haven't seen kids that play WOW all the time be any different than kids that don't. My brother (still in HS) plays for 4+ hours during the week, and probably 8+ on the weekend, and he still has good grades, lots of "real" people friends that he spends time with doing other activities (including paintball, laser tag, and other outdoors and physical activities) and is currently set to start a very nice education and career in biotech when he graduates. Obviously, WoW hasn't been an evil monster in his life, and he spends more time on it than anyone I've ever seen. Just something to think about... I realize this post is old, maybe things have changed. But I would question if this is something worth making your kids hate you over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
