    The Korean Society of Pediatric Endocrinology really thinks computer games will inhibit bone growth?

      Yes, because they keep children indoors so they don’t receive enough vitamin D. There’s evidence that reduced time spent outdoors has precipitated a dramatic rise in myopia for the same reason.

          But if there weren’t video games, parents would stop being bad. Now excuse me, I have to finish my internet forum post. THEN I will check on the kids and see who’s hungry.

              You think I am going to give them milk? Purchased from the gubmint with my Obama food card? When I can get milk for free if I had a farm? Which I don’t. It’s the concept of the thing. Don’t strain yourself too much trying to, you know, think. Growth hormones didn’t hurt me during my high school wrestling days. Perfectly acceptable to give to my 5 year old Jimmy so he doesn’t turn out gay like his Uncle Jared. /I am Uncle Jared //Maybe if I had taken T or whatever was available 40 years ago things would be different. I know wrestling certainly awakened things in me.

        And not just that, healthy bone growth is stimulated by regular use of the bones - so going outside again.

        And chronic carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow in kids as young as 18. Its the only reason they retire and also gets them disqualified from mandatory military service. What they have to do instead is basically street cleaning and painting schools and crap
