mercy and Radar.... I'm pretty sure I strongly disagree with your methods. Let me ask for some clarification. Speaking as the involved, caring, responsible parent each of you is trying to be, what do you have to say about teaching them about personal responsibility? What is your perspective teaching them independent thinking?

Oh good God. Teaching my children about personal responsibility has is directly tied to the stuff we have discovered about on-line activities. We are able to call them on stuff they have tried to hide from us {as all teens will do} and make them think twice about a poor decision they have made. It is very simple. The most important thing I have taught my kids, regardless of the internet activities, is do the crime do the time. If you make bad decisions ou will take responsibility for your actions. I don't care what the bad decision is, you will accept full responsibility for your decisions and your actions. My kids know that. My son has learned it the hard way. My daughters not so hard, but they know the rules in my house.

The thought that I would need to teach any of my kids "independent thinking" is a joke. They are way ahead of that road block.

Bullshit. You quoted someone and added your own bold type, to skew the meaning towards what you wanted to argue about. So I did the same thing, but highlighed a different section, to reinforce the information you tried to ignore. If you don't like that, then don't try to spin quotes.

I didn't try to spin shit and I really don't appreciate the inference either. I wanted to discuss the part I highlighted - thats all, nothing more.
Radar replied to me without any attitude and I think we both knew/know what we were talking about. Thanks though and BS right back atcha.

In that case, I apologize for assuming that your misdirection was deliberate; not due to poor reading comprehension, as you insist.

Sheldon's full of it. He's haunting the backdoor thread on purpose.

As soon as I saw his name I said to myself, "Oh what a freakin' surprise". "It's Sheldon."

lol!!

Interesting choice of words "misdirection"& "deliberate" - the connotations are typically quite negative. I'm not sure the reason for your interest in what I did anyway since my question was not directed towards you.
Seems as though yours was a most backhanded apology, in which case you can go.....

In case I am mistaken, which happens from time to time - apology accepted.

What's wrong with you people? I run several porno servers with over 1,134,000 images. All three of my teenagers have access as administrators and help me manage the sites every day. I will vote for Hillary in the upcoming election, and I have a swastika proudly tatooed on my right fist.

I aint skeered of nobody and my kids are touger than me. They all been smokin the dope since they were 8 or 9 and they lost their virginity to their cousins about the same time.

I just don't think we should have rules...who's with me??? :p

Fail

The 'job' of a parent is to nurture the new member of the human race they have chosen to spawn, providing them with the increasing knowledge, experience and self reliance so that when they eventually become a fully responsible member of society they are equipped to take on that role and be a personally fulfilled citizen.

....and create an independent attitude to be a productive asset to society not a drain.
