I'm a, to put it lightly, heavy twitter user. Just how much do you think I would have kept from my parents if it wasn't out of pure spite of not telling them because they ask too much?
Because there's a world of difference between trying to look cool to your friends and making plans and so on and your parents (perhaps poorly in your case) trying to teach responsibility.
so long as it works properly. Many times I take my headphones off to order food, talk to a bank teller, etc and then three hours later, I find it has been playing the entire time.
It seriously takes three hours for you to order food? Just take the Big Mac already and get on with your day.
And the simple answer is that you're obviously sticking your nose in other people's (your son in this case) business.
Yes, it is a simple answer. It's my moral, legal, and ethical obligation to take care of my children; they have no privacy except what I provide them in the interests of teaching them and correcting any mistakes they might make. I take great pains to demonstrate privacy to my kids with the knowledge that I may take it away at any time if caught in a lie and just yesterday, I had to tell my boys that I lost a lot of respect for them and quite a bit of trust when I caught a "little white lie."
Seriously, if my parents weren't so nosy they'd probably know a lot more about what I do day to day.
Oops. I'm sorry, I made the above comment with the presumption that I was responding to a mature adult. This laughable statement proves me wrong.
As example, even though the U.S. Bill of Rights forbids the establishment of religion, that only applied to the federal government. The States were still free to establish their own state religions because the First Amendment did not apply to them. The States could forbid speech, force everyone to conform to a state religion, search mail, break into homes, and so on.
Which was why each state had their own versions of the federal constitution, many being the exact same wording, some being even more strict at what the state government could do.

Shouldn't that be, "...think of the Childs"?
It's like a crybaby emo kid addicted to heroine.
Heroine? Yeah, I was quite partial to Barbarella myself...

So they can legally stop you before you succeed.
I believe that's called prior constraint and in the US, is a very bad thing for the most part. Slippery slope and all that.

So did Clinton...

Wasn't she Superman's girlfriend?
No, Lois was Superman's girlfriend. This apparently is Louis, Lois' brother.
