Officials at an elementary school south of Boston have banned kids from playing tag, touch football and any other unsupervised chase game during recess for fear they'll get hurt and hold the school liable.
Recess is "a time when accidents can happen," said Willett Elementary School Principal Gaylene Heppe, who approved the ban.

I remember when Steffie T walked into a pole at recess and split her top lip open. She had a visible scar 15 years later. They should banned walking!!!@!!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
"Addicts" showed signs of compulsive internet use, habitually checking e-mail, websites and chat rooms.
Did people used to be "addicted" to newspapers? Telephones? Mail? Or is it only contemporary basic communication that is considered pathological?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Me, too. Because living here in Godforsaken Bumfuck (TM) with my in-laws and no real meatspace friends, I would be on fifty different psychotropic drugs without the Internet.

contemporary basic communication
