Chances are your teen is looking at porn. But it’s worse than that.

Any parent that lets a kid have a PC/laptop NOT in the living room where it can be monitored is asking for trouble.

Likewise the cell phone/PDA history, etc, should be checked twice a week at least.

While I agree, that ship has long since sailed. I go to the mall, gym, where ever and see kids with hand held computer devices. The genie is out of the bottle. Time to form a new battle plan.

Decimation of the schools, destruction of the Church and moral structure, and degradation of the youth. This was all part of the KGB’s massive cultural infiltration from 1958 through the late 1980s. When “the wall fell” we thought we won the Cold War. But we lost completely. They destroyed America from within, and those leading our nation now were Soviet acolytes then. It would take another 40 year purge to remove all the tentacles from education, entertainment, and the civil service. Americans have no idea whatsoever how deeply we were betrayed.

I was asked by one girl why so many boys were demanding oral sex.

Thank you Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky! (sarc/off)

Sadly, you are right. But what would the battle plan be, besides instilling moral values into kids?

Remember, nearly 1/2 of the country is democrat so we know that morality is not a large part of the landscape...

I don’t think any “kid” should have their own of any of this “technology”. No “phones”, either. All they do is waste time and think how cool they are that they are talking to some faceless people all the time while ignoring real people.

I don’t want to hear “but it’s safer to have a phone!”

BS. Probably just invites scum into their lives.

I don’t want my son constantly on the computer, especially with “connected” software. No computer for him. No matter what any over-indulgent busybodies may say in his life.

“Thank you Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky! (sarc/off)”

Oh I have to agree with you on that one! I can still hear that today on prime time TV: “Oral Sex is not sex”. I knew then this would not end well.

I can also remember people arguing that every president slept around, esp Kennedy. Well at least it was not front page news about Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe and Kim Novak. As much as J. Edgar Hoover hated the Kennedys he had better class then to go publish the sex lives of the president.

As an adult, I've seen plenty of porn online.

But I have NEVER seen anything illegal regarding children or animals.

Of course, I've never sought out such garbage, so I don't know what's available to those who do seek out illegal stuff.

There is lots of porn which is illegal in the US but legal in the UK. Restraint with penetration, for instance.

I don't have any problem with adults accessing porn involving other consenting adults, but children obviously cannot consent, so that sort of thing I would think would be illegal in virtually any country.

In the US, they will nail someone to the wall for possessing illegal images, and, as a staunch libertarian, I say deservedly so.

Libertarians are not anarchists. They believe in Unalienable rights, and that certainly includes fiercely protecting the innocent (such as children) from having their rights violated.

There are plenty of "law and order" libertarians out there.

“Schools are giving out IPADS here. argh”

Some public schools are giving out computers. They are also doing away with textbooks. They are switching to that thing called “kindle”? Where books are downloaded. It’s cheaper and are just erased at the end of the semester. College textbooks can be done that way too, I hear.
On this “kindle” I’m not sure what else may be downloaded, so you FReepers who are Techno Geeks are going to have to fill me in.

“Where were they all summer?”

No, they weren’t all sitting at home. Lots of them are shipped off to every damn “activity” in desperate pursuit of being “rounded” and “learning teamwork” and “hard work”. Not just “camp” as in overnight, but simply every day driving there.

None of this has worked, obviously. Total BS. We are more dysfunctional than ever, and this kind of thing has been rampant for 30 years now.

In my ‘hood, which has plenty of kids, Summer can be pretty quiet, too. But school time is really amazing. The most you will see kids having free play outside is AFTER school, literally. Weekends, silence. No kids - they are shipped off to basketball and lacrosse and all that garbage.

Anything to avoid them learning to a) calm down, be peaceful b) live with family and every-day issues, and for the parents to have to deal with them directly.

In my 40s when I found porn on the web I was shocked. I cannot imagine processing any of those things mentioned at 14. It is sad.

But I have to tell you I am 52 and our parents were on us like white on rice. The Catholic School helped too.

LOL

We all have our trials.

Preferably that of their favorite promiscuous and predatory teachers.

That is garbage. I went to an actual 1950’s style camp and that was in the 1980’s I was blessed.

Books are still much better.

Kindle and the like are harder to sift through, find things instantly that you already know where they are physically in the book, etc. It’s very easy to flip pages or just open it about the right place. Typing in the search is NOT easier and faster.

Overrated, as most technology is. Fine for just reading a fiction narrative, but not the best for anything else (waiting to get pelted by all the techno-obsessed here).

Relying on “technology” is really just smoke&mirrors for looking smart. Having it does not make one smart, or easier to teach.

I guarantee as long as other fundamentals are not changed BACK to timeless principles, having all these bells and whistles will not put the US back up on the achievement list.
