I think the problem is with the people, not the city. I find plenty of fun things to do - this is the best city for entertainment I've ever lived in and I've lived in a few. I don't understand how you can be bored here.<br /><br />Apparently we can't have large groups gather here. Too many people can't handle it. The rioters and looters should be on graffiti patrol for a couple years - and there's planty of garbage that could be picked up around the city. There's lots of dirty alleys downtown that could be cleaned up.<br /><br />Maybe if we can teach children some civic pride that comes from within (like being lucky just to live here) instead of without (the Canuck's winning)then they'd be better citizens. Maybe if we teach our children to think of how their actions affect the other people and the world around them then they'd think and act decently.<br /><br />It's up to the new generation of parents now. Remember to teach your children well. They need your time, your strength, your discipline, your lessons learned, and NOT your friendship. Being a parent is a tough JOB. <br /><br />Your kid doesn't need 10 kinds of activities, 5 kinds of electronic entertainment, social media up the wazoo. They need good family interaction to develop good social responsibility. And they need it from beginning to end. Don't let go too fast!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
