The Situation of Self-Control - (USA)
Meredith F. Small had a very interesting article,”Losing It: Why Self-Control Is Not Natural” in a recent issue of LiveScience . Here are some excerpts. * * * After dinner last night, I lost my usual self-control and ate half a box of cookies. No wonder. My self-control had been under pressure all day. I righteously refused a muffin at breakfast, didn’t scream at my kid to get out the door although we were late, made a conscious decision not to run over a pedestrian crossing against t

Put the bite on the cards... Ask and it will be answered. Anything you want to know? Think of a yes-or-no-answer question, and the truth you seek will be laid bare. My mom plays Solitaire. She said If you successfully finished the game the answer would obviously be 'yes'. Do you believe so?

Video Games Are Changing the World, Just Not the Way You Think - (USA)
Video games: they encourage violence, enable anti-social behavior, and contribute to weight gain. They further demobilize today’s youth and foster addiction to and dependency on technology…at least that’s what I used to think. But not anymore. Have you ever thought video games could be used to create positive change? Surprised? So was I.

By Max Dunbar. I have seen all these things being used, and I have seen the things they replaced. I will not listen with any patience to any acid listing of them - you know the sneer you can get into with plumbing, baby Austins, aspirin, contraceptives, canned food. But I say to these Pharisees: dirty water, an earth bucket, a four-mile walk each way to work, headaches, broken women, hunger and monotony of diet.
