It’s also accurate. The President has zero power to change the date of the general election. His term ends on a specific date at a specific time. It can’t be postponed. It’s in the Constitution. You should read it.

Now do unrestricted voting by mail vis-a-vis various state laws and constitutions. I’ll wait.
 
Get a grip. If Trump was anything resembling a dictator, there wouldn’t have been an election. You talk like someone who, ahem, spent way too much time playing silly video games.
1. Just because he failed doesn’t mean he didn’t try
2. Just because it didn’t happen overnight doesn’t mean the GOP isn’t actively trying to limit freedoms and consolidate power to try and create a one party state in America too
 
Over 50% of American kids age 5 and up are overweight or obese. Should we wait until it gets to 75% before maybe making some changes?

Lol, this has very little to do with gaming and waaaaaay waaaaaaay waaaaay more on terrible diets that the vast majority of obese kids have. You can take away all the games you want and it won’t do a thing to lower the obesity rate.

One of the bigger problems is a misunderstanding of how to curve the obesity rate with thinking like “go out and exercise and you’ll lose weight.” WRONG. This has been studied over and over and over again. All of the exercise in the world isn’t going to fix a bad diet. Its not gaming that is causing obesity. Its access to processed food, sugar, and terrible options for kids that causes obesity at a young age.

Try forming a complete sentence next time, this one doesn’t even make sense.
It also doesn’t include the part where you admit you were wrong about moving the election being Constitutional.

Yeah, and the Dems aren’t?

Who are you trying to fool with this nonsense? Yourself?
 
China is a civilization state, it only had absolute governments, and it’s natural for them.
That doesn't even make any sense. There's nothing natural about dictatorship.

Oh, and about 1 Apple CEO thing 🤣 you do know that Apple isn't a government right? You DO know the difference between the two? Jesus, the way people bent out of shape to defend autocrats. It's almost like they deserve it.

It was a complete sentence.
 
You are right in that your government should work for you, but you seem to think China’s government should work for non-Chinese societies. I would bet good money on the overwhelming support this policy has among parents in China.

That may be, and if that’s the case, good for them. As a US citizen no chance I’d let the Government intervene in what I think is a parental decision that I ultimately do have control over.
 
Well, if you live in Communist China, then…this is bound to happen. I hope they keep creating idiotic rules like this because then the youngest generation in China will realize they live in a Fascist country. Eventually, it will lead to reform.
 
Whats rediculous? They get a 2hr lunch break,..more than Western countries! So essentially about the same school day as Western Countries, but a longer lunch :rolleyes:
Most schools in China also has a post lunch nap break, which would have been so nice for those afternoon class food comas :p.

It’s indisputable that kids today are far less active than kids 30 years ago. Indisputable.

Yes and? Banning video games doesn’t make someone enjoy other things. Believe it or not people can (and do) play games AND read books AND travel AND play sports. I know I do.
With a country that size, something has to go. Just like taking antibiotics, not just the bad cells die, but it’s necessary for the cause.
 
Yeah, and the Dems aren’t?

Also, the Dems nefarious plan of ensuring people can exercise their right to vote is somehow trying to limit freedom? Do you not realize how ridiculous your argument is? It contradicts itself!

LOL, well we know you don’t understand how antibiotics work AND you also seem to be against freedom. At least we are clear on that.
 
100% false. The “fat kid” in school in the 1980s would be the skinny kid today.
I'm not comparing now vs 1980s.
Video games weren't nearly as common in the early 2000s vs now. Yet there wasn't much of an increase. The biggest increase was in the decades leading up to 2000.

Lots of things were happening then. More people eating out, more fast food, even changes in demographics.

That's pre-pandemic thinking.

Can governments do better? Sure. A compromise would be to require online games to built parental controls to their respective systems. But that won't motivate "free-to-play" games to comply, and of course videos of people playing games.

I just cannot disagree with you any more here. The Govt should have zero way in what my children do in my home as long as its legal. They can do what they want in China, but as a free Country I won’t ever align with this. Its almost laughable to me that people agree with this type fo thing. But to each his own, just don’t ask me to agree with it because I won’t.

Okay, video games are now illegal. Problem solved.

Yeah, really funny how the people who want to require vaccine passports to get groceries scream bloody murder at requiring ID for voting.
Limiting people from spreading a deadly disease is bad in your mind but limiting peoples ability to vote is good? You have a very weird sense of priorities, but then those who favor dictatorships often are willing to let others die so it makes sense.
