The parenting method should be the thing that's put into question. Asian parents are tough...I can't even count the times that I've been beaten by a feather duster because I haven't done my homework, or get bad grades, etc. That and asian children are generally milder with the ideal that they must do well in school in order to make their family proud will make the children work harder in school. Every person has potential; some are nourished better than others.

I'm hungry...

Sometimes these things happen out of euthanasia, and then the meat is "not to be wasted." And other times when people aren't even certain if they are going to have enough to eat tomorrow, or afford whatever that they crave, animal-right is out of the window. Just be happy that it's not your pet, or any of your body-parts, hanging there.

cheers. (now for dinner.)

I can actually recite that thing word by word because it used to be played during the pre-show commercials at the theatres. (and I went to a lot of movies) It's something to encourage parents to encourage their kids to read because the parents would find this commercial cute and sweet. Still good intention and nice commercial though.

Well if you are playing it with an arcade joystick, it's pretty easy to swing something to the right side of the screen because all you do is snap your wrist. It's also a good thing to leave the gap at the edge because then you have a larger field to work with; If you leave the gap at the middle, you divide up your playing field and limit your opportunities. There are 10 columns, if you leave the gap on the 5th or 6th, you have 4 and 5 columns on either sides to work with. But if you leave the gap at the edge of the screen, you have a whole 9 columns to work with.
