The same research showed it was because they choose to eat at macdonalds
instead of eat a carefully balanced diet. I heared that Labour already
passed a law that should forbid everyone under 18 to eat fast food. The
same law will take steps to make every motorist pass a monthly test
checking vitamin levels. The extra tax on cars goes to taking on special
'vitamin guards' who will patrol near junk food outlets and arcade parks,
spotting suspicious looking pimples.

I heard they went on hunger strike because they found out they were not
allowed their daily macdonalds any longer. Tax decrease on cigarettes was
another of their demands. Smart kids.

Have you seen Unimation/Westinghouse new UK slogan for marketing their new
SCARA robot arms ?: 'A kid can operate our robot arm',
They even changed the name to SKARA: Smart Kid Assembly Robot Arm

Possibly a good thing in view of recent predictions that soon kids this age
will be the ONLY ones able to operate mechatronics.

Wouldn't he?
Why yes, ofcourse they're stupid. They could have just popped over to the
macdonalds, where both types of stock are now rotting away. I hear the
'vitamin guards' don't bother you too much when you have no money. Some say
they even become friendly to you...
