The victim mentality amuses me. Since I never got to actually post on the original topic because I was busy defending myself against personal attacks, I am glad to get back to it.
I actually think that anyone who blocks FR as a hate site is biased beyond belief. That being said FR is not a site for children. The content of alot of the news is unfit for them to read unfiltered by a parent. There are articles on here of sexual affairs, child abuse, horrible murders etc. I do make my children aware of what is going on in the world. I get alot of that info from FR but I wouldn’t let them have unrestricted access to the site.
My daughter is allowed to read FR but only what I let her. She likes the saddle club stuff. But most of it is old. If there is something I think she can benefit from we usually read it together. She has read comments & knows some of the FReepers like MM & Salamander & of course TigersEye. She also knows some of the ones that she doesn’t like. When reading comments by them I get a mumbled figures from her. She knows she is not allowed to go to FR without me being near & knowing what she is reading..
Exactly. The site can be not appropriate for children because of content like that, even the occasional profanity, but still not be a hate site.
