Keep your **** off of social media..

[Pornfan99]

I saw something on this, during the week. Here is the Time / Wall Street article (regarding the first three articles published):

The most effective way is for parents to limit their own usage. **** learn from their parents. [A not-so-pleasant kick-in-the-nuts reality sometimes. )

Yikes. Even Anderson Cooper has Instagram jealousy:

Smart phones and social media are leading to more addicts.. "She calls the smartphone the “modern-day hypodermic needle”: we turn to it for quick hits, seeking attention, validation and distraction with each swipe, like and tweet."

Fair point, but lets not forget that most **** don't have assistants to manage their social media. And if you're a teen and don't have an online presence, you pretty much don't exist to your classmates.

Totally agree. That's why when I have **** they'll get nothing. No TV no computers no phones etc. It won't be fun obviously, but fun isn't why I'll be having **** anyways.

Hopefully I'll have all boys so I won't have to worry about it, plus I'll save money by not providing luxuries for them that they won't know how to appreciate anyways.

They'll **** me, but it's for their own good, and when they grow up hopefully they'll learn to appreciate what was done for them.

This concerning post brings this to mind:-

It's not good for them at all, also a lot of propaganda is being targeted at them there by billionaires and governments.

Good thing adults are not being targeted by billionaires and governments. Imagine how fucked up we would be.

This concerning post brings this to mind:-

Other people being concerned about how I'll raise my **** doesn't concern me. The sovereignty of families have been undermined by governments and societies too much over the years so that the ****** unit currently has little to no authority compared to that of governments and modern society.

The point here is that adults, unlike ********, are free to make their own choices - regime ******** are subject to the rule of their parents.

You got all that from a five second clip of The Dead Pool? Go you!

Yeah I did. Keep being concerned you.

Your only routine here is obnoxious sarcasm. Made obvious to anyone by your post history.

 

[Steve-FreeOnes]

Obnoxious sarcasm is what this fine forum was built on.

Indeed.

Here is a strange thought, but bear with me. How about parents don't feel the need to give their **** unlimited smartphone and computer time? I always found it's not so much the technology as much as it is parents just being lazy and using those things to keep their **** busy so they don't have to bother with paying attention to what their **** do or being directly active in their lives, because you know that would take actual parental work.

Exactly. **** learn from their parents and it is up to parents to teach self control. They need phones and computers to do schoolwork. **** need computer skills to function in a career.
