when i was a kid, (yes pre-internet era) if i wanted to order something through the mail out of the back of a comic or whatever. i sat down with one of my parents and got everything together (forms, envelope, stamp, and check). put it all together, and i would drop it in the mailbox. i was empowered, excited, and in just 6 to 8 weeks rewarded with the with my own mail. that is, i believe what parenting is (if a very small part).
moral (there's always a moral): if your child posts private information on a web site (or on the side of a bridge with spray paint for that matter) place the blame where it belongs, on yourself.
you want to protect your kids, you had better make sure you know where they are and what they're doing.
i'll never understand why it is there are so many things people need to get educated about and get licensed or certified in before they can do them (by law), but any couple of pinheads with functioning genitalia can make a kid... even if they are kids themselves.
frp001 you're right, it was George Sr.
it was even sampled in "World Destruction" by Time Zone (John Lydon and Afrika Boombata [sp?])
and here's
a link to George Sr. himself.
That's funny, I was just in RS last week, and here's how it went:
cashier: will that be all? me: yup. cashier: may i have your name and address? me: no! manager (not far away): NO?! me: no!, i hate fliers, and mailing lists... cashier: OK?!... me: thanks.
just find out who the company is, hang-up, and call them back on one of their toll free numbers (don't forget to block cid before dialing). if enough people start hitting back, maybe they will get the point. the 1st amendment works both ways...
there's a good idea.... hey everyone let's all get together and ask the government to protect people from their own stupidity!!! come on, u can NOT be serious. i'd rather have stupidity regulated... that way being stupid without a license, or in excess of daily allowable stupidity would be a ticketable offence.
