AOL Dumping Some Broadband
unsupported writes "Just days after news that AOL will be breaking up into 4 business units, AOL is telling existing broadband customers in 9 Southern states to find a new carrier. This news comes after AOL stopped selling broadband services earlier this year. AOL plans a similar phase out of existing broadband customers for the rest of the country over the next year."
It's not like AOL was actually providing broadband or anything.
They ought to move to a real ISP, like OSTG broadband!
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
Meh, parents are under attack from all sides.
If your kid grows up and becomes some sort of psycho, it's your fault for not disciplining them as a child and teaching boundries.
But then, if you discipline your child, you're running the risk of being accused of "abuse". I've heard of cases where a parent was charged with criminal neglect because they sent their kid to bed without dinner.
Apparently all manner of discipline and rules are bad because they hamper creativity, or some bullshit.
Similarly, if you let your kid run wild on the internet or in the streets, you're an ignorant parent.
And then, if you keep tabs on them, know who their friends are, and what they're doing online, you're "invading their privacy".
It all depends who you're trying to make happy. To a good parent, that person would be their child - and happy as in live a long, healthy life. And all the childless asshole loudmouths can roll it up and cram it.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
