C/D 'If you're too sick to go to school, you're too sick to play video games!'

I always thought that was moronic. It's "old people" logic that completely dismisses the ability of distraction to make somebody feel better. I can see if it's something really intense or that involves movement, but I fail to see how your recovery will be negatively affected by something relatively calm and engrossing. The same dickheads who agree with "no school, no games" are probably the same people who equate beating a child to making them respectable...
