i'm the same way, I always feel like I have to accomplish something before I go to sleep to get a good nights rest. It's a weird habit I have now, I wasn't always like this but during my days off from school and work that's how I feel

I've found reading a non-fiction book really helps. Currently I'm reading a book on U.S. stock market crashes, but obviously it can be any topic you wish. It seems to help because I feel like I'm learning something, and because reading seems to naturally help people fall asleep.

Yeah if you were playing competitively and wanted to gain every advantage you could, you would want to have sound.

Topic created because I personally hate going to sleep and am contemplating/stalling doing it right now. I always feel like I have to accomplish something before I go to bed, and because it's just so boring, lieing around trying to fall asleep!

The audio of the game.:|

This. I don't understand the urge to listen to something else. Do you people do the same when you watch a movie? When I play a game, I pay attention to it. I'm not listening to music, I'm not chatting with friends via headset and I'm not eating greasy pork products.

The comparison to a movie is silly. In a movie sound is vital to the plot, there wouldn't really be a point in watching a movie if you couldn't hear because you wouldn't understand what was going on. When you're gaming your doing it for the visceral fun, especially in online gaming, where the only thing you maybe trying to do is relax and enjoy yourself.

The same music I usually listen to: Radiohead, Sunny Day Real Estate, Brand New, Some Offspring, and then a lot of everything else.

It's a CBC program right? CBC is usually pretty unbiased in their reporting from what I've seen, so it might not be bad.

[QUOTE="viewtiful26"][QUOTE="allnamestaken"][QUOTE="Sajedene"] As a parent... you should! But then -- do you want your child to be FORCED to tell you everything going on in their lives -- or do you want them to willingly come up to you and tell you what is going on in their lives. Now... if it is the latter -- but they seem to not want to do that... who's fault is that? Theirs or yours? Who failed to keep the bridge of communication open there?

I don't think it's right to be that absolute. An abortion is a serious life changing event, parents don't need to know everything that happens in their child's life, but I should think that an abortion would be an exception.

I think there are a number of different reasons a girl would want to keep it a secret. She may feel she made a mistake, and is shaken by guilt, or she is afraid of how her parents would react. In other cases, such as rape, she may just be in denial of the event, and forget the event ever happened. In either of these cases, a parent can not always know what is going on in the child's life, but still wants the best for them.

It would not be an easy discussion to have for the girl, no. Especially if the parents are really angry about the issue, but I believe it's a necessary one. I'm guessing that a lot of young teens that are getting abortions are also making other bad choices in their lives. A serious sit down is probably the best thing that can happen to them. I just can't buy the whole "it's the teens decision" argument when, under law, they are still considered a minor. The parent's may not have the right to tell them what to do with the fetus, but they should at least have the right to know, and do with the knowledge what they believe is right.

Incredibly, I've never played this scenario through in my head before about five minutes ago. The prop 4 topic got me thinking about the subject lol.

If I was told now that I was adopted I honestly don't think I'd care too much, I'm 19, about to move out anyways, so it wouldn't be like a dark cloud hanging over the household. Furthermore, being adopted doesn't mean that the love between parent and child is fake so I guess it wouldn't effect me too much.

[QUOTE="Sajedene"][QUOTE="Chutebox"][QUOTE="MoonMarvel"] More like the all powerful government telling you what you can and cannot know about your own kids.

As a parent, why wouldn't you want to know everything your child is doing?

As a parent... you should!

I personally think that parents should be notified if their underage child is having an abortion. This way parents can discuss the situation with the child, and try and set them on the right track in their lives. I don't believe we can treat the kids as responsible individuals because they are still young and may not grasp the gravity of the situation.
