http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/wall We love sports, and we love our communities. We have a hard time sitting still, and we have this crazy idea that we can change the world. Play City is a fusion of these two passions -- a hyperactive need to move and a genuine desire to make a difference. www.youthnoise.com/PlayCity en-us Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:53:34 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss playcity@youthnoise.org http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Oct 22, 2008 GMT I think it's so amazing how much this election has brought out the activist in so many people in such creative ways...running, biking, rallies - sports really CAN make a difference! http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Sep 29, 2008 GMT Does anyone else speak out in class about your causes, just to have all of the turn against you. It seems like anyone who chooses to speak out gets shunned. Is it like this everywhere or is my school just insane? http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 21, 2008 GMT im really disappointed* that who ive told im a vegaterian to will either try to taught me with meat (wich doesnt work) or say i cant do it! it hurts tat my friends are like this. and im a strong supporter in PETA but some of their stuff i dont believe in because its so far fetched or because they are so strongly against things that are absulutly wreched. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 19, 2008 GMT I refuse to watch this year's games... but I did love reading about the Georgian and Russian athletes embracing each other when they won their medals. So sweet. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 18, 2008 GMT Is anyone else a little disappointed with the Olympics so far... The athleticism and competition has been AMAZING, but I was hoping a little more LMP-esque social activism out of everyone. There are a lot of human rights issues that should be addressed and for the most part everyone has been silent. The Georgia/Russia conflict didn't even get all that much attention. That's just me. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 15, 2008 GMT I know that I am late but besides all the negative things about china. The opening ceremony was awesome!! GO TEAM USA!!! I have faith in our country. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 13, 2008 GMT Hey LMP!!! Boxing is going great! I'm starting to get the hang of it and its a great work out. I really love it. Now I know why athletes keep doing their work ouy. It makes them feel great. Most of all stress free!!! http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 07, 2008 GMT Word, ultranova. I was just reading about how in the 1963 Olympics, two winning athletes gave a "black power" salute as they accepted awards, stood barefoot to symbolize black poverty, and wore beads to remember those who had been lynched. What a powerful message; they were then banned for their courageous stance--and booed off stage. If there ever was a time to make such a statement today for the suffering of people, now is the time. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 06, 2008 GMT I want to see how some of the Olympic athletes use their visibility to draw attention to all the human rights abuses that are being supported by China - in Tibet, Burma/Myanmar, and Darfur (not to mention within China) http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 01, 2008 GMT hey wassuo PC i know that this may be a lil off but I CANT WAIT FOR OLMPICS!!! i dont know why im over excited its not like im playing in them or anything. but any who ITS GONNA BE AWESOME!!! http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Aug 01, 2008 GMT I am taking this empowerment class and it's great. We do pilates which allows for me to relax and breathe. Also we do jazz, hip-hop, hatian, and tap dancing. It's a great experiance i recommend everyone to always stay busy doing at least on type of physical activity in you life. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 30, 2008 GMT @rjd2 Cool to see that you made a boxing connection on PC. Remember PC is all about sport for good-- Have you ever thought of hosting a boxing match with your local gym for a charity? Just a thought. Keep Boxing! -corey http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 30, 2008 GMT Hey Karatina! I think it is awesome that you started boxing. I have been boxing for about 3 years now (recreational) and it is a great way to let off some stress and have fun. By my definition it is a sport. It is physical activity with a competitive edge. Rock on! http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 28, 2008 GMT i was just wondering...do you guys consider boxing a sport?? anyways on saturday i went to my boxing class and i really got a workout. i plan on making it a regular routine. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 26, 2008 GMT to exercise is a good thing to get one self into,though from the start it will seem hard and intense,but is fun and interesting. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 25, 2008 GMT hey i start my boxing classes tomarrow in the morning and i cant wait im actually excited about going. i wonder if its going to be intense or very hard core. well no matter what i'm down for it http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 25, 2008 GMT We're looking to establish Local FUNdraising via any form of exercise: http://abc4all.net/exercise.htm Please contact us with your ideas!

We called it Campus Beutification. You get together with local farmers to get trees and flowers and stuff, and then get local stores to donate supplies (as tax write-offs). So everybody wins! You can even get the community involved. http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss Jul 16, 2008 GMT hey evry1, i just got voted 4 student council postion Safety 'n Ecology!!! now, i've been wanting to create a group of students 2 do some stuff around the school, clean up, plant/garden, etc. do u hav NE ideas of wat we should do? thnx tons! http://www.youthnoise.com/playcity/community/wallrss
