They wouldn't be if kids could do anything in moderation. Unfortunately, parents can't either, and are addicted to not having to actually interact with, nor oversee their kids, and electronics are a cool, trendy, never ending escape.

Couldn't agree more. Electronics are not the problem, it's the parents who use the electronics as babysitters for their children. Put a time limit on the TV,DS,XBox,PS3, and when the time us up.....it's up!

What an ignorant B****! She knows nothing about Obama, Romney, or Politics in general. All she knows is that by voting liberal, she will get more "free stuff!!" That's all she knows and that's all she cares about!

"Ok what's wrong with Romney again!"

"ROMNEY..... HE SUCKS!!!"

*eye roll* Good answer!

"Hi, my name is Chris and I'd like to buy the new set of CNC rotors for a 09-11 r1 with (blah blah blah)"

"Sir, they don't even have a price yet or a release date"

"That's fine, I'd like a set with gold accents and new ceramic pads please, can you overnight? Also, just use my card that's on file. Thanks"

"But sir..."

"Maybe I wasn't speaking clearly, my names Chris"

"Oh my mistake sir, I'll have them out tomorrow"

You clearly are mistaken...Brembo Z04 pads are the only ones made for my calipers

Maybe braketech will manufacture pads specifically for you. I mean, you do pilot Rossi's bike to give them a baseline on what's wrong with it before each race

Again..clearly mistaken.

I pilot my bike to give Rossi a goal for his lap times...I mean using his bike wouldn't be fair
