kids need to play outside just so they aren’t lazy pussbags
Outside is for faggots.
It’s too easy to put a kid in front of a console and let him play games. Parents don’t want to deal with parenting.
Plus before you had the father work and the mother parent the kids. Nowadays you have both parents work or single parent household so the child(ren) left behind.
Genetics can be a motherfucker sometimes…
Hey, we’re only here for a couple decades, we may as well enjoy it. That being said, try to make a difference while you exist, don’t just waste all your time here.
Its enviromental. My parents dont have allergies, but grew up in the third world, with much cleaner air, less processed (if any) food, etc. I on the other hand had the complete opposite.
Plus, advertisements are purpose-made to make parents feel ashamed for not buying their kids every last doodad and distraction that the toy and entertainment companies can crap out.
Yea, that’s another good point.
Reminds me of this, it applies to little kids too:
Basically if all the other parents spoil their kids and you don’t it makes you look bad and people cave into the pressure.
I can agree with that, but it works in tandem much of the time. Without the environmental stimuli the vulnerabilities never get exposed. Like there’s a genetic basis for Crohn’s disease, but it just so happens it overwhelming afflicts white males living in developed nations by a significant margin.
America might be surviving well, but it could do so much better IMO. It has the money and the resources to conquer any issue as much as it has the power to create them (which it does, actually…). It feels like it has to first go backwards to prove it can move forward. As someone pointed out earlier, most health issues are due to people’s lifestyles. Just because what you are doing will keep you alive doesn’t mean that it will keep you healthy. And health in this country is more of a luxury than a necessity.
The foundation of every lifestyle begins with good health, but i find the foundation of a good average “American” life, one way or another, must fall beneath the guillotine of convenience that makes common sense all the more harder to sever and spill it’s worth everywhere - your processed foods from the grocery store to “eat fresh” Subway, your pesticide protein restructuring GMOs, your commercialized pharmaceutical industry that thinks it’s doing you a favor listing side-effects, doctors who wish they could unconditionally further educate their patients, the weight loss industry where you buy external confidence, all backed by the media who is run by the government who is owned by the big businesses who happen to be in charge of the food who legally silences the public (Remember when the beef industry sued Oprah? The recent Monsanto Protection Act? that the President signed?). The water is fluoridated and the average American is worried about their teeth being white without it while some people can’t even bathe in or drink tap. Everything is like a cancer research study that focuses on the cure rather than the cause. The cause may keep people living and may as well be the lifeblood of the U.S., but that just makes people sheep within a psychological warfare who praises bacon but ignores the breakfast.
What’s the cure for hunger? Applebee’s. Bullshit. It’s an apple.
A body in motion? Celebrex.
Depression? Prozac.
Happy weekend if you’re an adult? Beer.
Kid? Soda.
Erectile dysfunction? “Natural” male enhancement.
Weight loss? The latest advancement of overpriced exercise equipment.
Boredom? Sit on your ass and watch TV. It’s not like you’re motivated to exercise anyway… but here’s something you can spend your money on, and we’ll tell you what we want you to know what’s going on outside.
Everything is systematically synthetic.
I believe the rest of the world sees this as a culture driven by it’s long history of egoism… especially considering the US likes to speak to the rest of the world in the language of violence, but I digress.
I don’t think it’s killing us more than it is… enslaving us physically, mentally and spiritually to the point it’s easier to become a statistic than an individual. Living? Yes. Alive? No.
