Isnt it funny how peoples attitudes are so wrong.
Choice 1.
Teenagers down at the local pinny and cocktail arcade, spending some coin on some games, having social interraction, enjoying hand/eye co-ordination whilst enjoying healthy competition. Usually under the view of CCTV cameras etc, mostly always behaved so they can stay a member and be included. Adults also having fun at the same venues reminissing about their teenage years. A good healthy mix.
Choice 2.
Teenagers taking drugs, bored at home, locked away in a bedroom on facebook 20 hrs a day, or at a mates place, down the local shops spray painting walls n trains, vandalising stuff etc. Nothing fun to do means boredom and frustration leading to anti-social trouble.
Yeh, Pinny arcades are real bad for society.
Its about time people woke up. Local councils could fund the rent locally for a small and accessible site, an experienced operator could supply the place with stock and make coin from pinnys and cocktail machines. Everyone wins ! The savings on local council purse strings paying out for vandalism could pay the rent for a site ten fold, and save local councils millions. Julia Gillard shld use her brain and work out an arcade tax.lol instead of stupid carbon tax etc. We live in 2012, but somedays it seems like we still live in the 1950's with peoples close minded views.
and AC/DC, has its lead band member wearing a school uniform, who said AC/DC doesnt promote education !
