"let's object because 11 and 12 year olds have no idea what drinking or sex is!" I attended a school where getting drunk was a weekly event for most of the student body. Kids are maturing more quickly due to all the media they're being bombarded with(yes I am including video games in this statement). Isn't it better to try to teach them before they get involved in these activities than being forced to try to save them from them after they've started? what gets me is the parents who don't parent getting annoyed with people trying to atleast guide their children. If they aren't being spoken with about this stuff at home what are the odds that they'll try drinking before they fully understand the consequences and get dragged down a very dark path?
If you don't want your kids learning this stuff in schools, step up and inform them at home, have honest and frank discussions where they can ask you anything, I know it might be uncomfortable for parents and kids, but the information they get is given to them on your terms and you can make sure they understand and they can understand where you, as a parent, are coming from.

Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Ooh, and to prove the validity of their arguments, they've deleted all the comments from the gamers/outsiders, and just left
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:20am lumi: Wow...there's worse invective and vitriol on that first feminist site's comments than in most gaming forums I've read...
Posted 07/24/08 at 11:19am SimonBob: You guys can read the feminist blogs? One of 'em has over 1400 comments -- my browser locks up when I try to load the page!
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:49am M. Carusi: That's probably the message to describe hardcore feminism in general. :P
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:35am Tom90deg: Meh, it seems like most of the comments are "I'm right, and it you don't agree with me, you're a girl-hating masonogystic pig!"
Posted 07/24/08 at 10:30am M. Carusi: Those comment walls on the feminist blogs complaining about FP are generating some hilarious content.
Posted 07/24/08 at 08:48am E. Zachary Knight: @ lunatic, What you see is what you get. Once a comment gets pushed off it is gone forever.

Posted 07/23/08 at 06:15pm Rodrigo Ybáñez García: Jack is a repressed man. Don´t be surprised...
Posted 07/23/08 at 06:07pm GryphonOsiris: So Jack admitted paying for gay porn... all I can say is wow... just wow...
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: to the case, and he's been on 60 minutes once!
Posted 07/23/08 at 05:09pm lumi: GP, you should mention you'll be filing a legal injunction against him if he doesn't comply. Phoenix Wright will be attached
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:32pm Alteffor: You should add a section to the site for anything Jack CC's to you. It's always entertaining to read the stuff he writes.
Posted 07/23/08 at 03:31pm Matriculated: Does anyone know when the Supreme Court reaches their decission?
