safe place for kids

10/15/96 Outdoors Or TV?
I think that if kids spent their time outside rather than watching TV
there would be less kids in gangs and less kids causing crimes. I've
noticed lately that alot of kids are in gangs and have been burglarizing
houses and stores. One reason why I think kids are becoming more
violent and committing crimes is because, they sit in front of the stupid TV
all day long. They don't spend enough time outdoors, hunting, fishing,
surfing, and doing all those fun exciting things. The outdoors offers
so much to do and takes your mind off reality and into the fun world.
When you are outdoors you are free as a bird and there aren't too many
rules. The one rule I go by is; "have fun." When you're outdoors you
don't have to think about being robbed or hurt by crazy people because,
they stay in the city. If you are outdoors you can't watch TV.
That means that there would be fewer kids wanting to join gangs and
probably less violence. That would stop allot of killing and stealing in this
world if every body went outdoors instead of watching TV. Just think,
what if kids spent their time outside rather than watching TV and learning
how to steal and kill. Maybe our world would become a safer place.
Instead of watching TV, I spend my time outside. It is allot more fun then
learning how to fight and kill each other.
