If you are an adult, you don't have that much time available imo.

I live vicariously through my children. That entitles me to do all of the fun stuff deemed childish. Either way XBOX is fun as hell online, I like to break necks and talk smack, even if I am up against 12 year olds. I like to make the children cry...............................

How come? I own my own business. This allows my time to be flexible. I can have as much or as little time as I like, within the constraints of what my business requires. You have as much or as little time, as an adult, as you choose to have. My business partners' time ends up being limited. But then again, they also have chosen to have children, large homes with large yards in posh, suburban neighborhoods. They spend much of their time keeping up with kids and homes. They chose this. I did not. I enjoy a smaller abode, with less maintenance. I do not currently have children. I have plenty of time, as a responsible, adult business owner. I can use this time to watch Adult Swim, play PlayStation, read a book, go to the beach, go to a museum, work on automobiles... Whatever I want. I may not have weeks off at a time to do these things, but even after taking care of a small business that in reality owns me more than I own it, I still consider that I have plenty of time available. |

I usually don't have ime for vids and toons, but when I get a chance there is nothing like playing halo with 4 of your buds and a 12er. I never mis an episode of the simpsons or family guy, they are funnier than the retarded cookie cutter sitcoms these days

My Uncle works 40 + hour weeks, has 2 kids, a wife, a house all to take care of... Yet, he manages to have time for games. A lot of adults have time for it.. they just don't use their time wisely. |

I love playing xbox with my sons, and even the kids I teach. I've found that being somewhat knowledgeable about video games(at least playing them every once in a while) helps me build relationships with my students. Those relationships of trust, give me leverage in the classroom. Students "try" harder for me, and behave better in my classroom because of those relationships.
Other teachers in my school, can't figure out how I get "trouble" students to produce and behave in my classroom. IMHO, it comes down to those relationships of trust that are built and maintained. Students come back to my classroom, years after graduation, to say "Hi". I think it helps. Say what you want about "video games" but I think of them as a teaching tool.  Besides, it is badass playing Halo with a 3k projector and a huge stereo in my classroom on in-service days.  |

Im 24 hold down a fulltime job and all the other "adult" stuff, im all about cartoons and videogames. it's what interests me and im the most responsible "adult" I know.I like to have fun so just because im not a bitter dried up ol' stick in the mud doesnt mean im irresponsible or childish hell I have accomplished things in just the last 5years alone most people twice my age haven't life is to short to be serious 24/7 you only get one shot at it, do what makes you happy and if anyone gives you flack about it,it would most likely be because they are just following the crowd of what (PC) deems you should

It's real simple.
Do what makes you happy and that which you enjoy. I think the bitch is actually jealous and is stuck on stereotypes because that's what she was told was normal. I don't watch cartoons, but I do like a good PC shooter game. |

So what do you do for fun? Clean the grout? Clean the gutters? Both my wife and I love Adult Swim and xbox. No kids, so we also enjoy freaky sex in the middle of the day  .

Computer games are like golf. You can still play them and enjoy them both all the way through retirement.

I shoot, work around the house, go on trips and have lots of fun with the wife. I really don't want the time to sit in front of a tv, I get enough of computer time that I'm tired of. I would rather be in the bedroom with the wife or outside working or driving than sitting in front of a tv watching mindless dribble. To each his own though, ymmv. |

I'm 35. My favorite shows include Samurai Jack and anything by Pixar (not exactly cartoons, but...).
My MAME cabinet stands in our family room as a main source of family entertainment to share with my kids. It's all good.

If you worry about THAT kind of shit, you havn't been an adult long...
You spend your late teens trying to be mature. You spend your 20s trying to tell the world you're mature. You spend your thirties trying to recapture your youth and eyeing the opposit sex 10 years younger. You spend your fourties not giving a fuck either way and just have fun & Eyeing those 20 years younger. You spend your fifties regressing in between backaches and playing grabass with the 30yr olds. You spend your sixties playing with your grandkids at their level. (Scotch is a staple!!) You spend your seventies regressing further. (Vicodin is a staple!) You spend your eighties regressing mentally. (Too many pills, all are considered a staple) You spend your ninties in depends and throwing tantrums about jello pretty much like a 3 year old. (Pills? candy?) |

Not childish, but not something I prefer to do.
I do like reading fairy tales in their original forms, interesting. I do watch some cartoon movies. |

I just love people so quick to judge what people should have as
a passtime. I'm 38, and, I greatly enjoy playing my PSII (Madden and NCAA Football). I also enjoy Aqua Teen Hunder Force, the Simpsons, Family Guy, American Guy, and Buggs Bunny still makes me howl with laughter. I'd say that girl has somthing unpleasant in her butt, and, you need to stay away from her. I ache for the poor man that marries that one. I have a successful career, and, a family. I find time for everything I need to. I spend time with the wife, kids, dogs, and all by myself. If people don't like my cartoon watching, or my video game playing, then, they can go play golf, or hunt, or do some other activity I think is absolutly idiotic. I don't rag them about thier choices, and, I expect not to be ragged in return. |

Thats about it. But the tv I have running while I work when I watch it so no biggy. |
