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

[VillellaMcMeans]

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.

Point being it is up to parents to decide for their ****, whether they get to use technology or not and what **** learn or don't learn etc.

So you're not only going to not let your **** watch TV, play video games, call or text their friends, and mess around on the internet, you're going to home school them?

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I imagine **** would be better off without their Twitter Machines. Give them a Gameboy Advance instead. Nice cartridges with complete games. No new-fangled social media thing-a-ma-jig doo-hickey to worry about Jared from Subway trying to send pictures of his wiener to your *****.

I'll just raise my **** however it see fit, not giving a rats ass to whatever the governments and society opinions are. I don't believe in anyone else having any say whatsoever, in how people want to treat their own ****.

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

In theory adults should be smart enough to turn off the mainstream news, but many still listen to it unfortunately.

Just so people don't get the wrong idea about what I said, I do think there is a time and place for **** to use modern technological devices and not just for work or school. There is a time and place for people to have fun. Some of the most fun I've had in my life is on video games. I probaby have had more online aquantences than real life ones. I just don't like the idea of parents using things like sitting their **** in front of the television all day as a substitute for parenting or as a form of babysitting for them because they don't want to deal with them. It's their job to know what their **** get into and place reasonable restrictions on it. There are just too many predators and con artist out there too not do so in my opinion.

During a prenatal class one score and six years ago the leader gave the group some sage advice: enjoy these next few weeks because they will be last time you know everything about parenting.

@D-rock - you were clear. Even I understood and agree. You speak the truth.

Settle down, Daniel Plaineview.

I get your point. MSM can be annoying to many. It is the non-MSM which really gets it wrong. QAnon, probably the most vicious hoax recently, was certainly not promulgated by the MSM.

Settle down karen.

Terrible. How the 13-year old got possession of a *** in a houseful of adults is the first issue.

"Polak learned from her ******** that the pressures of social media were driving her increased anxiety. The main source of stress: waiting for her friends to open and respond to messages and photos on Snapchat. "It became really addictive [for her] -- the sense that you always have to be on, and always have to be responding to someone in order to be seen or to exist," she said. "She would look at her phone and go from calm to storming out of the car, and the rest of the night, just curled up in her bed."

Adults might want to avoid social media also:

"For many rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, self-incriminating messages, photos and videos that they broadcast on social media before, during and after the insurrection are influencing even their criminal sentences."

"The latest TikTok trend involving warnings of potential ******** at schools may have parents wondering how can they get a handle on their ********'s social media usage. Experts say it's not easy."

Oh, BTW: who in their right mind gets an 8 year old ***** their own cell phone, with video camera capabilities?! Kim Kardashian..

Agreed

Are you an RSS feed for anti-social media news and opinion? I make this point in the politics forum and I'll make it here - just posting links with no opinion or thoughts does little to ****** debate or discussion. Discuss what you're posting!

Really? You drive recklessly and go off road in winter time, onto a partially frozen pond - and as your car is SINKING - instead of calling 911, AAA, the Police or Fire Department - INSTEAD, you climb on the trunk, and take selfies??
