Opinion Tradedraft's Thoughts for 2016

[Saintly Viewed]

My girlfriend's step brother is the prime example of this. I've met him 3 times and we have been dating for two years. 95% of his life is on the computer. The annoying thing is his mum encourages it. All of his dinners are brought to his room etc. He's going to struggle big time as he's now 17 and about to finish school, just has zero life skills.

Probably be a CEO or accounts manger or public servant in a department depending on his school marks

would have to be an ceo of his own company cos most would not get passed the interview stage

That would involve talking to real people face to face

Funny or disturbed story guys/gals.........I am 43 with three kids under 7.

My wife and I have "lived" our life.......lets just say that our kids can't do many things that we won't know about.

Anyway my story doesn't relate to me........I catch up once a year with high school friends. It's a good night we are not close friends but we all make an effort that night every year.

One of my friends told me a story how he goes out every Friday night to a place called "Welcome to Thornbury"
It's an outdoor food van place.......very trendy and very diverse crowd.

Anyway long story short he was shocked by his "young" fellow workers who liked a girl that night and all they did was say hello and ask if they could swap Facebook Pages or do Instagram together! WTF I said to him.

No one has to work for "it" anymore..........its a soft and safe generation IMO.

Getting rejected face to face is a lot more character building than not allowing someone to become your friend on Facebook.

Sorry for hijacking your thread Dave but that's CFC2010's rant/thoughts for this evening.

I never had a Girlfriend but I guess that is more to do with my Autism(Not Much Social Skills) then just being on the Computer.

What is Wrong then being Safe?

yep designing apps, but not all are good enough to do that. there has to be a balance in ones life, cause at times it is hard
and if you cannot communicate properly your behind the eight ball. having fun out side is good for you

I have no personal experience with your condition Dave.........I have met you and it was a pleasure to put a face to the posts.

Safe is OK Dave but in my experience you only grow as a person when you are at your most vulnerable or you're honest.

If people don't accept you for what you are Dave then they are not worth knowing........that's what I am trying to say.

Just one thing Dave, although I have met you and I do honestly like you, please don't take offence when I pull you up if you cross the line in some of your posts.

You thought recently that I would report you to mods about one of your posts.

I just want you to know I would never do that. You are Collingwood through and through.

Love your passion mate........keep up the Pokemon Go it's a good thing for you
