You think homeschooled kids don't get out in the world and are sheltered from popular culture ?

I never stated that. You are reaching into your own thoughts.

Go do some research - homeschooled kids participate in many activities outside the house. "Homeschooled" doesn't mean "segregated" - it is simply a reflection that education is directed by the parents, not the government.

Research about the homeschooled killer in the news this week and get back to me.

Seems like a number of homeschoolers spend a bit too much unsupervised time on the computer. At least in Lancaster PA.

Well, let's see... The kid belonged to a family who lived in an active community, he went to a church, he worked as a lifeguard and then worked at Circuit City. And at age 18 in PA, he is no longer considered a homeschooler. School control over home education ends at age 17. Kinda sounds like the average teenage kid to me regardless of where he did or did not attend school.
