I've been up all night and despite being tired I just can't seem to fall asleep. And nope, I haven't done anything that might keep me up all night.
So, I've watched two hours of MSNBC Investigates and two hours of The History Channel and so now I'm bored and want to vent.
Lockup - Those guys in prison are pumped up. I never realized that gangs on the inside, communicate to their 'brother's' on the outside. They coordinate and organize fights and murders, from inside prison, to members not locked up. They send out letters in cryptic tongue that only members of their gang can interpret. This was complete news to me. And why on earth are gangs still in existence? These are grown men, some well into their forties and fifties who are still gang members. Are they missing a switch or something? One would think that adult men would recognize that this is just childish behavior and that they need to grow up.
I thought all that gang nonsense ended in the mid-nineties? And why are the men and woman serving time in prison so proud of their gang member status? To quote my stepsons "that's gay". What fucking idiots. Get an education while you're in jail and do something productive other than making contraband out of toothbrushes and bubble gum.
To Catch a Predator - As I'm sure most of you know this show is an ongoing hidden camera investigation into computer sex predators -- grown men trolling the Web for young teenagers. Chris Hanson an MSNBC journalist has put his name on the map with these investigations. He and the Perverted Justice team, travel to different locations within the USA luring men from all walks of life, to then bust them for sexually explicit online chat with adult women posing as 14 year olds.
Now, I realize this is entrapment but quite frankly if men are willing to meet at some "underage" child's house, they deserve getting busted and I don't feel bad for them at all. The best part of the show, and like clockwork is when the predators tell Chris, "....No, umm....this is my first time doing something like this. I've...never done this before and I've seriously learned my lesson." HA! Dumbasses. Don't they watch television? I think it is FUCKING hilarious.
Men from all walks of life show up and right off the bat start lying to Mr. Hanson about the chat log. Then Chris reads the log verbatim and that's when the show gets really good. These guys will use every excuse in the book to try to weasel out of getting busted. "I wanted to come over and be her friend and to tell her how dangerous it is to meet men from online. I just wanted to protect her and be a friend.
Suuuure. And do you always travel with an unopened box of condoms and a twelve pack? Dipshits. Some of these dudes have even appeared TWICE. They got busted on the same television show, twice. How pathetic.
The predators can leave at any point in time, however cops are waiting outside to arrest, stuff and cuff these men. This show is high entertainment.
UFO Files - Anything dealing with UFO's or Aliens scares me beyond belief. Scientifically it is impossible for there not to be other life forms out there and that is some freaky-deaky shit. There have been thousands of UFO sightings all over the world.
One Ufologist said that these aliens tend to abduct pregnant women to take their babies for scientific studies or to create Hybrid life forms.
An interviewed female who claims to have been abducted, states that aliens took her unborn baby. As a result she suffered a miscarriage but that she didn't experience the usual symptoms that coincide with such a loss. Her body never secreted any fluids.
Some Ufologists claim aliens abduct men to extract their semen and women - not pregnant for their eggs.
The first alien abductions - Betty and Barney Hill describe in detail their ordeal and tour of the UFO. Betty claims to have asked the aliens where they came from and they pointed to a location on a map. A few years later Betty draws a map of the location which hadn't even been discovered - Zeta Reticuli, some million light years away. In any case, in her last interview, while on her death bead, on said program she affirms the story of alien probing, skin samples and egg theft. Both she and her husband allege to have lost two hours of unaccounted for time.
Another hypothesis is that these "alien abductions" are nothing more than sleep paralysis which is something I've experienced and written about in the past.
http://www.ubersite.com/m/110972
Sleep paralysis is really very scary. You're brain is awake, but your body is still paralyzed from REM sleep. Lying in a comatose state and completely aware of your surroundings you're powerless. You can't move or speak or cry out. The body tingles and there are weird sounds all around. When I experienced this it lasted only seconds, but felt like hours.
In any case, to believe or not to believe. That is the question. I can say this, very good friends of mine and my family, who are down to earth, church going people, swear up and down that while driving through New Hampshire some years back, they saw a UFO. This is interesting because around that same time, Betty and Barney Hill were also driving through New Hampshire and were allegedly abducted.
And what about Area 51 and a government cover up of sorts? There is no way that the government can attest to UFO crashes or illegal aliens if you will. Hello? Mass hysteria. Apparently at one military base there was a UFO sighting. Several different people claim to have seen some object which appeared to be floating several hundred feet up. What is really weird is that while this object was lingering about, all the computers and missiles, which were all on different systems, simultaneously went offline. Who can say what caused the glitch. What is really frightening to me is, had this shutdown been UFO related it left us completely defenseless.
Teenagers & Modern Communication Tools - This program hit home since I have a teenager in my life and two on the way. Now I know there are many teenagers on this site, but hear me out on this. High school kids along with teachers were interviewed on the use of computers and cell phones and how many have become addicted and spend hours upon hours online chatting with 'friends' and text messaging. As I'm sure you all know, Myspace and Facebook are two of the most popular websites in which teenagers use to interact with peers. At one point even I had a myspace account and did the same.
On these sites, teenagers can post pictures and personal information about themselves for anyone to read. Sure I've posted personal information and stories about my life on this site. I've posted pictures all about my life and have even met several people from Uber. That being said, I'm not a teenager trying to be sneaky and I've never gone to meet anyone from any website alone.
Kids are easily flattered by unsolicited advances and often after "meeting friends" online, and have "connected" make the wrong decisions. I can say that my opinions about these websites have changed drastically since becoming a step parent. It is very scary what kids can access in an instant online.
Most parents are naïve with regard to their children's use of the internet. Kids have their own passwords to their accounts and nine times out of ten are not giving their parents them. Their webpage is their little fantasy world where they can be anyone and anyway they want to be.
One family that was interviewed on this program lost their son to suicide due to online bullying. Apparently he'd been visiting a suicide surveying website. This website asked questions about personalities, likes and dislikes and when tallied up and based on answers provided, gave the best way to commit suicide. He'd been chatting up with others who were also planning on killing themselves. The day that he ended his life he IMed another member of the website and he gave him "props" for finally doin' it.
A fifteen year old anorexic girl was a member of a pro-anorexia website offering tips on how to binge and purge on the "right" foods. Other females and even some males provide support and encouragement in support of NOT eating. This is horrible that children can access these types of websites and without parents knowing anything about it.
Educators that have been teaching for decades stated that over the years there has been a rapid decline in student's concentration and grades. Kids today are looking for the quick and easy way to access information. They use the internet to plagiarize papers, post essay and exam questions for other students. They take pictures of the tests with their cell phones and post this information or they send via text messaging. When I was growing up we managed just fine without cell phones so why do kids today need them in school?
Kids don't read books anymore. They read summaries of required readings online and look for the easy way out.
Basically all this wonderful modern day technology is doing nothing but teaching kids to be dumb. The other day I was reading an essay that the oldest boy wrote for his English class and he actually used the word "gonna" instead of going to. Now I know I'm not English teacher and I often times misspell words. But give me a break. "Gonna?" I believe this stupidity is related to computer lingo that kids use today. I know that using LMAO, LOL, JK, BRB and other acronyms are quicker and easier then having to type the entire phrase, but when this spills over into school work, there is a serious problem.
I really don't want my step children to learn about ways to commit suicide, or how to make bombs out of household products. I don't want them coming across a website that gives detailed instructions on how to commit the perfect crime. This is some scary shit people. And it doesn't matter how good the parental controls are, there are ways around everything and kids know it. And don't even get me started on the lack of good role models for kids today.
Growing up, my parent's weren't my friends. They were my parents. And like kids today, parents take the easy way out too. It's hard to be a good parent. It's easy to throw your hands in the air say nothing and allow kids to do whatever they want. It's easy to give kids everything the want just to shut them up. It's hard to say no because no usually starts fights and pisses teens off and I assure you it isn't easy being around a moody, miserable pissed off teen.
I realize I'm an old fart to the lot of you out there, but the fact that kids today will be our future tomorrow scares me to death. I think society is going down the shitter a little more every single day.
Every generation brings changes and new technology. Kids are always going to be kids and they're going to do what kids do. However when I think back to when I was a teenager life was nowhere near as scary as it is today and I blame the internet and the media. Could it be SATAN?

I agree, my generation is pretty shitty (I'm 20, that makes me generation Y, I believe).
However, your old, flabby generation raised my disrespectful, scantily clad generation, so...
Fuck you.
And don't give me that, "I've never actually given birth!" crap, I'm sure you had a few pregnant friends you could have given a few solid punches to the gut, and you didn't.
----------------
Flabby? I've got a bet for you mr guns. Meet me in CT. I'll take you to a gym. We'll work out with one of the best trainers In Connecticut and then we'll see who is flabby and who can keep up.
Despite my leg I guarantee you will still beet your ass in weight training any single day of the year
This isn't rocky and you don't have months to prepare. I'm talking two weeks from now. You name the place and I'll be there. I promise. Game on. Bring it.
email me: patscheerlder.at.aol.com.
Where the fuck are Lester and Nitts when I need validation of this??
Seriously haikumikoo, I'm a girl but name the place and time and I would love nothing more then to meet you.
---------------
I'm reading this for the first time, but can we still do this?
I've always wondered what it would be like to beat someone with one of their own limbs, prosthetic or not.

Look there's only one real solution here:
What you need to do is remove your leg and ship it to me, that I may mount it on my wall as I would an antelope or water buffalo head were I a big game hunter and fond of khaki. After you have deposited Leg in the mailstream - USPS Priority Mail, please - then it's time for you to put on your tinfoil hat, run outside to the bunker in your backyard and hide out with ETS until the End Times are upon us.
It's a win-win, really. You get to closet yourself physically as well mentally, and I get Leg.
Deal?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually I'm in the process of getting my one of those C-Legs which is computerized. Read all about it.
http://www.wchstv.com/newsroom/wx/
It only costs about 35,000 when all said and done.
I'll ship you my current leg when I get my new one. Deal?

I am deadset on my opinions and so is everyone else here who disagrees with me because he or she have their own opinions and they too have issues that they're passionate about.
---
Being passionate about your opinions is not the same as being dead-set. The chaotic nature of existence has proven that things change inexplicably. Our concept of reality is constantly being redefined as our understanding expands and the collective experience of humanity grows.
People like you shut down - stubbornly refusing to do the necessary research required to evolve.
---
"...just because I don't agree with you, doesn't make you or me wrong."
---
No. Sometimes people are wrong.
---
Coming from someone I've never met, you fail at your assumption of me because if you knew me you would know that I'm wrong an awful lot and there is no need for you or anyone to convince me otherwise because I often times laugh at myself and my mistakes. As do most of my friends. It's funny.
---
How would you know you were wrong if people didn't inform you of such things?
BTW - It's good to admit you are wrong, however it is about as shocking as letting us all know you sleep. (ie: No shit.)
---
"I don't follow the pact"
---
I don't have anything to say about that... I just wanted to highlight it simply to make fun of you.
Right.
I was going to say more, but I sort of ran outta steam. You ain't gunna 'listen' anyway.

So in the meantime, thanks for your effort and candor, I will properly reply later.

Because being in a gang protects them from the prison rapings...

The Internet and the media are not self-preserving, living entities that can be blamed for the woes of society. It takes PEOPLE to shape, mold, and preserve these modes of communication, and to provide demand for their many facets of use.
Things are the way they are because the majority WANT it that way - whether consciously or subconsciously.
If anything is to blame, it is the acceptance of instant gratification, ergo the downfall of the value of a centralized family, i.e. a unit of closely-knit parents and their offspring that converse often about life. Somewhere along the line, meeting individual needs overtook the preservation of integrity and family welfare in terms of importance. Dual-income families weren't a necessity fifty years ago. They are now for many people because of the intense self-gratification message that started in the 1960s and hasn't stopped growing since then.
In short - life is what we make of it for ourselves and our families. The question is, when forced to choose, what is more important to you - yourself, or others?

you? criticizing others for poor grammer? i realize that just because a pot may be black, it does not mean that the kettle it calls black is not black as well. but still.
as far as the kids/technology thing, i completely disagree with you. no. i don't disagree with you. you're just wrong. long-term trends have not varied significantly with regards to teenage intelligence, suicide, or anything else you're talking about.
the internet is giving teenagers access to the entire civilization's knowledge base, at their fingertips. seriously. in 15 seconds, a kid these days can look up information on literally anything, where in past days it would take a trip to the library and 3 hours. while not without it's problems, that's a good thing.

you've become so deadest in your opinions that nothing could ever convince you that you're wrong.
In other words - you fail.
------------
Oh Rob, I am deadset on my opinions and so is everyone else here who disagrees with me because he or she have their own opinions and they too have issues that they're passionate about.
The thing about me is that I don't flip flop on issues and my stance. I'm not going to say what people want me to say to make friends. That was so 2001. I say whatever the fuck I want and if you don't like it then disagree with me. But just because I don't agree with you, doesn't make you or me wrong. Its called a debate. Just because you think I'm wrong doesn't mean I'm going to change what I believe in and agree with just to make online peace. Fuck that high school mentality. I can't stand people who don't have their own identities and opinions. They follow a crowd because everyone else does despite what they really may think because they don't want to be left out and it's the cool thing to do.
Still this was a very interesting statement you just made.
"Nothing could ever convince you that you're wrong".
Coming from someone I've never met, you fail at your assumption of me because if you knew me you would know that I'm wrong an awful lot and there is no need for you or anyone to convince me otherwise because I often times laugh at myself and my mistakes. As do most of my friends. It's funny.
If I'm wrong because I have an opinion and people get their panties in a bunch, insult me and say whatever the hell they want to say, it's still not going to change who I am or what I believe in. I'm also not going agree with everyone and, I might cause some waves because I think its funny as hell to read comments. So yes, I do stick to my guns and am no longer impressed by people who post and comment just to get the warm and fuzzys by people who are wonderful that they'll probably never meet.
Frankly the funny thing is people use this website to be something or portray someone other than they really are. "Lets all post fake pictures of ourselves and pretend to be someone we're not. I on the underhand knew I'd be ridiculed when I spoke about my leg by teens yet I still told my story. So run along and give shit to those broads.
Plain and simple, People on this site are and I quote - Fight Club - Single Serving Friends. You'll all forget about them in less then a year. However if makes those who have no friends in real life happy and fills that void to know that their online 'friends' think they're really cool I'm happy for them and their little pathetic online ego boost. Two words. Social worker.
.
So Rob I don't follow the pact and I do have my own opinions with regard to certain issues and daily concerns. This is a testament to what I stand and believe in now.
Its who I am. I don't need you or anyone else to approve or dislike my opinions or posts. I stick by them through and through and don't get all riled because we don't have the same opinions I'm no longer here to make nice nice with the lot of you. I would've failed if I said 'Rob You're So Right'.... I'm going to change the way I feel about society right now because you disagree with me.

it's always saddening to see people decide to assign their own responsibilities to the rest of the world. i'm not being harsh or insulting, it is actually depressing. and what's worse is you've become so deadset in your opinions that nothing could ever convince you that you're wrong. which is the key element of rational thought.

I'll give you this: a negative thing about my generation is I think we don't care as much about history, whether it's what happened in the past, or the lives and knowledge of our elders. In some ways it might make us freer and more out-of-the-box, but in other ways it could make us blind to things we need to know.
Basically we're not as bad as you think, and I have to question your personal experiences with teenagers.

BeforeEmily would be a cool mom.
I'm not saying my generation is perfect, but you're painting the picture that we're all little delinquents snorting glue and fucking...from stories I hear from my parents and older uncles, we're actually a lot safer, especially in regards to drugs and sexual practices. You seem downright hostile toward teenage sex in these posts, which I never thought of you usually as being, at least from reading your posts on Uber site.
All your talk about kids having sex chats with friends online, using technology to cheat...it sounds like you have no experience with this other than reading out of a magazine. But seriously, stop with these presumptions, telling me that kids don't care. You don't know shit about me, or my peers. I care about my future, my friends, my family, my getting into college, and most of my peers do too.
Let's see...I use the internet a lot, text far too much, don't really watch TV...idk MTV's not really influential anymore, it's mostly younger teens who care about videos, what celebrities think...it's a phase you grow out of. The internet has given us more information than any generation before, and we're blessed to grow up with a tool you can use to talk to your friends in college, research reports, find any miniscule information at any given time.
;( my final snotty teenage assumption has been blown...I'm depressed...who wants to listen to Marilyn Manson, cut a wrists and fuck child sex predators with me??

If CAPITALISE is enough to piss TL off, she's more easily riled up than me! By the way, the fact that you regret getting your boobies proves that you're missing the point. You became an insta-parent. That's cool, but you don't give them enough credit. The fact that their new stepmommy has boobies is not going to ruin them, if she loves and supports them and helps their father to provide a soft place to land, then none of that outside stuff matters. That's been true for generations. The fact that you regret it now is as shallow as it the decision to get them in the first place supposedly was. In conclusion, the same holds true for all the things you seem to have a problem with. Internet, music, media, etc, is not going to ruin your children. Axolotl and Experima among others have tried to show you that when strong, stable parents are in the picture, kids aren't as impressionable as you think. Going through parents' divorce is hard enough on the children, why do they need a histrionic, guilt-ridden stepmom on top of it?

I however don't have a problem with EVERYTHING. I have a few problems. I have a problem with kids listening to rap music that condom sex, violence and drug abuse. These songs are on every radio station, Limewire and any other music website. Kids have IPods they download this shit. I have a problem when my 9 year old goggles Pokémon games and sexual cartoons come up.
http://www.funny-games.biz/pokemonhentai.html
As do other sites that children may visit. Am I supposed to sit by my computer with them constantly? Impossible.
It doesn't matter whether you educate your children about the dangers online or parental control your computers, and televisions and video games and ALL the negative things that impact our children (moreso then not, due to the internet), they'll still be exposed and they're curious. THEY'RE FUCKING KIDS!
They can search porn stars websites on MySpace while clicking on who is 'friends' with who, or they can view slutty little girls wearing close to nothing reading their blogs about the dude the blew the other night. Kids can read all about how other kids/teens use drugs and what 'fun' they are.
Isn't it just wonderful that today kids can do all of this? I say we (as parents) should just sit back, trust our CHILDREN and allow them to be 'free'. Because god forbid, we wouldn't wnat our children to think we're invading their privacy. Now that would be just horrible and inappropriate.
So let them use the computer for hours and hang out chatting and Iming friends and viewing pictures on MySpace, or online porn, downloadable music and violent video games because THIS is appropriate.
And you can say that this has been this way for years. But most 14-17 year olds when I was growing up couldn't go into a store and buy porn.
Now, tell me that our sociey isn't fucked up today.
Show me a kid that doesn't masterbate while viewing online porn sites and I'll show you a liar.

That's one helluva rant. No such things as UFOs, though. Hypnagogic imagery - the kind that occurs during sleep paralysis - is more your brain's reconstruction of the environment you recall being in.
I recently had a case of sleep paralysis, and it was very realistic, but while paralyzed, a table that was actually across the room was right next to me while dreaming. I recall it vivdly, and had I not known what was going on, I might've been scared because I couldn't move. I'm a bit of an oneironaut, however.

You sound like some kind of cynical old lady. You know, the kind of old lady that has a shitload of cats and calls the police everytime she sees some kid skateboarding in his driveway. The kind of old lady that stands outside Old Cuntry Buffet 20 minutes before its scheduled to open and then demands a free meal because they unlocked the door 2 minutes past the time on your JCPenney's wristwatch. The kind of old lady that wears ugly sweaters at Christmas and gives the grandchildren 12 dollars for thier birthday. The kind of old lady that drives 20 mph in a 35mph zone and will drive in the median everytime someone who wants to pass her attempts to. The kind fo old lady that would sue Toys R Us because some lady was breastfeeding in the store and it "offended" you.

I didn't see an argument. All I saw was a lady slap down a child and a bunch of folks who obviously never had children.
-----------------------------
Bubba - It makes perfect sense that people don't agree with me here. They're still in their teens and early twenties and seem to turn a blind eye to what is really happening in this world and what is going to happen if we continue on this path. Our society supports, approves and condones rap music with drug and murder related lyrics not to mention all the sexual context. MySpace pages a place where children can post half naked pictures of themselves without parental knowledge due the decline of family values and religion. Aliens entering our country illegally - most of which end up in prisons that our taxes pay for. Now I know this has been taken place for years but based on stats, the numbers have risen drastically.
When I was a teen, sure there were MTV videos that portrayed sexual innuendo, Warrant - She's My Cherry Pie. However, in videos today there are men grinding up on women wearing just about nothing. Videos of men and woman in bed have what seems to be sex.
How does this not effect our children? They see these videos and are basically watching what society deems to be OK. Kids should not be seeing this trash on TV because kids are easily influenced by what they see and here on these videos. It is my opinion that the media and the internet are both the downfall of society. Kids now a day's spend more time on line then doing anything else.
http://aphroditeastrology.com/2007/05/web-bot-project-and-2012.html
Read this article all the way through. Now I don't believe in everything that this article states, but it is interesting and what stands out the most is:
<b>"One of the first accurate predictions from the bot program took place in June of 2001. The program predicted that a life altering event would take place within the next 60-90 days. An occurrence of such proportion that it's effects would be felt worldwide. The program based it's prediction on "web chatter" which ultimately represents the collective unconscious of society.
Regrettably, the bot program's prediction proved accurate and the Twin Towers fell on 9/11/2001.
Here's where it starts to become very interesting. The bot program also predicts a worldwide calamity taking place in the year 2012. For those of you who study astrology, prophecies, and the like, you may already be familiar with this date. </b>
It's just scary what is happening today and it is only going to get worse in years to come and there is nothing that anyone can do about it.

Your sttatistics don't mean anything.
++++++I never ever said that they did mean anything. I was just sharing the stats.
sschoool today at least how i know it is a hell of a lot bette rthan, say, 8-9 years ago. back then there it was dangerous in my totwwn, with knives and violence happening. Things have improved a lot.
+++++Well I have no idea what you know or where you live or lived so I can't comment on that. All Im saying was that where I grew up there was never even the thought of maniacs killing people in school and carrying cell phones in case we needed to call our parents to let them know we're alive. Give me a break.
"apparently I'm not reading the right articles" LOL
+++++++"LOL". Check and mate you little teenager you.
++++++++I wasn't hiding under desks because I wasn't even born yet. But you keep telling yourself that your generation is perfect. Especially since STD's have risen drastically over the years. And in 2002, was estimated that 3.2 million teens under the age of 15 were living with HIV
*******Normal kids don't run around shooting up schools. Don't you think it to be odd that school crimes has significantly increased over the past 10 years? Why do you think this is happening now and didn't when I was In school? Why do you think this has gotten worse over the last ten years? Because kids don't fucking care. Bottom line.
********Why have STD's risen drastically over the years. Why In 2002, was estimated that 3.2 million teens under the age of 15 were living with HIV. Or that each year, one in ten girls under the ages of 20 - one million per year - becomes pregnant; 40% of these pregnancies will end in abortion. Could this because kids are more likely to have sexual chats with 'friends' online which lead to sex and could lead to pregnancy and disease?
*******Now isn't that just something to be proud of?? Bottom line is kids today just don't fucking care about anything because there is always a quick fix.
******The internet, text messaging, junk food TV impact kids more than you know. And look at the shows on VH1 or MTV. Every single show portrays some sort of sexual or drug conotation. It wasn't like this when I was growing up. Sure rock bands did their drugs and drank but it wasn't in your face the way it is today. Little by little all these media outlets effect teens and the way they behave.
*******The internet has changed the world we live in and has created a society of lazy people.
*******AND don't put words in my mouth. I never said that kids are evil. I said they're LAZY. The world is evil and is at our finger tips just a click away.

I guess I'm really trying to say: THROW YOUR TV INTO A BRICK WALL!READ A FUCKING BOOK OR WALK YOUR DAMN DOG! Stop being such a slave to the media's constant glorification of our sick fucking society.
People in prison gangs got sent to prison because they're nuts. There's no cure for nuts.
Chris Hansen pulls a completely unconstitutional form of entrapment on his shows. While the men he busts are downright horrible people, he still exploits every child that has ever been sexually assaulted by an older man in order to gain ratings and provide entertainment. There is nothing entertaining about Chris Hansen the super butthole.
Teenagers will always want to look, talk, and act older than they really are. Maybe instead of watching a fucking TV program, the parents could, God Forbid, TALK to the little fucking shits.

"OH BUT THINGS ARE SO MUCH WORSE TODAY! "
I know you're currently in school but I don't have a clue as to what age you are nor do I care but If you don't think things in school are worse today in 2008 than in the 1980s-1990s you've got your head so far up your ass and clearly didn't grow up in the same era that I did.
Also, I don't know what you read and really I don't care but I've seen pictures, of a test, on a phone in my house. Apparently you're not reading the right articles.
As far as needing your cell phone to call your parents "incase" some maniac shoots up the school absolutely blows my mind and solidifies my point that this generation and the next is headed in a downward spiral. To even consider that you might need a cell to phone home incase of some horrible emergency is completely the most fucked up thing ever!!! How can you NOT see that?
Guns or knives in school were never an issue when I was growing, up nor did we have metal detectors or security roaming the halls in case of some horrible event. Big Brother wasn't an issue because there weren't horrible tragedies that today are culture experiences at least once a year. Whether this happens at a high school, elementary school, college, Amish school...WHEREVER...this was NEVER a concern when I was growing up.
"I want my children to be free"
Good. And when you have children will discuss this further. Until then shut your face dipshit.
Porn was in magazines and in adult stores. You needed to be 18 to enter. Not at the fingertips of children. Sure I can block these sites at my house, but I don't know what happens at friends homes.
There weren't groups of fucked up people gathering in some chat room talking about how to starve or off themselves because of some fucking online bullying. Man the fuck up. I was bullied every single day of my life and I too could've taken the easy way out. Online bullying. What a joke.
To even suggest that there isn't a difference between now and then is completely asinine. Wake up.
