i wonder why many of our young kids today are busy playing online games than playing normal kiddie games... what happened to this children? at 9 years old shouldn't they be supervised by their parents instead of the cafe attendants looking after them? Are the parents of these kids too busy even on a sunday? When i was on the same age i remember that me and my parents would go to church together and stroll after in the park, eat icecreams and young corns...we always have that family bonding every sunday. It makes me sad seeing this children at their young age they have not experienced much of the experience they should experience at their age. Good enough if they are in cafes learning basic computer usage or surfing educational materials but to play those war games, my god! and it feels bad that cafe owners have allowed these children to play online games. Something must be done to counter this...

One more reason why not to bring a child into today's world. Who are these children supposed to play with when all of their contemporaries are in the cyber cafes playing computer games? My parents supervised my sister and I, and never had to worry about this, because we were children 20 years ago, not today.
