No, I’m not a 14 year old girl, but I am a parent and that is the problem here.
Would you appreciate these type “jokes” (many of which are not, BTW) being thrown at your 18yo son or about your 14yo daughter? I expect not.
There are actually many long time members here who have always allowed their children to read much of the content because of the respectful way various news topics have been covered. It has been a teaching/learning tool for the next generation of conservatives. Remember one of the tenets of this site is that it is PRO-family and young FReepers have always been encouraged.
Unfortunately of late I have found that I am having to play censor on what threads I allow my daughter to read because the quality of postings have been allowed to deteriorate. Heck - I play censor for myself, because so much of the postings no longer are of the caliber for which FR had previously been known.
You think I’m whining? Fine, that’s your prerogative. I know I am not and that trumps your opinion. Don’t like my posts - don’t read or respond to them.
Just remember, what you post reflects upon you, not upon the one to whom you are posting and insulting or making fun of the next generation of potential conservatives is not the way to win hearts and minds.
Could not agree with you more.
:(
I know you aren’t 14. You stated you have a 14 year old daughter in a previous post. I highly doubt Justin Bieber is scouring FR for posts about himself. I always took the pro-family part to mean that we are for the traditional family unit, not that 10 year olds can read and post here.
I can see being disgusted if people were posting hopes of his death, but they were just cracking jokes. I guess we just disagree on that point.
“Don’t like my posts - don’t read or respond to them.” That is a two-way street. As for your last point, what did I post negative about Justin Bieber on this thread?
You're not the only one who does that. I so wish there was a "thread ignore" button. Some of the more gratuitous thread titles are alone enough to turn me away.
