While I decry your 'paranoid' take on it I don't in essence disagree. Kids do lie. But I married a crazy person who thinks young children can't lie (!). I've caught my son out in so many lies at this point, and I can't make a big deal of it because of psycho mom. Otherwise, I think this key-logging thing is just ridiculous paranoia. Basically, it is what I intensely dislike about this country and my dislike increases with time. American children are not under threat from abduction and rape by lurking cyber fiends. That is just bullshit.
They're kids, talk to them, be their friends, try to share their interests and your interests with them. So tired of children being somehow an alien race of beings that we accidentally spawned. They are people. Treat them as such. With respect.
How dare you suggest that I am lonely, you insensitive clod. I, and many others here look for pictures of 'boobies' (not the bird I might add) and I can say for myself that I am rarely lonely. A dissolved marriage to a psychotic woman can have the invigorating effect of one's finding comfort in happy solitude and the occasional 'boobie' search and a hand shandy. Your analogy is erroneous, though. The number of pedophiles vs men surfing porn is hugely divergent. Comparisons such as yours are part of the problem. Porn is good. The wrong kind of porn is wrong. The issue is about exploitation. If anyone is being exploited. Wrong. If not. Right. Predators of any kind are wrong, but how do you conflate that with porn? You're wrong.
I beg to differ about the friend part. I see no reason why a parent should not also be a friend to their child. It is one of the most rewarding parts of being a parent (for me anyway) to hang out with them and be a friend to my children. There is no reason that my aged mother or father should not be now my friends despite the fact that as parents they never behaved in that way when I was a child. I think they know that now. That is something that was missing and I would suggest that any parents reading be friends to their children in addition to all of the other 'parent' stuff they do. It's not all duty and education. Simple love and affection goes a long way. If they are not experienced in the home, then kids may try to find it elsewhere. That's supposed to start happening about puberty, not before.
or sometimes when out foraging you could just happen up a faded mag under a bush or something. Happy days.
Yes, fuck the over-protection thing. It's basically what split me and my psycho wife. She is a school teacher and believes as an article of faith the whole state vision of child protection (she has a masters in child development and psychology though it seems to have done her no good at all as she bullies and shouts when the moodswings take over). I'm an old fashioned, talk to the kids, be honest with them, treat them as people kind of guy. Be consistent. And I plan to remain so and I expect with time as my kids grow up they will respect me for it. Being myself, screwed me in the end as there is no winning against the current ideology unless both parents are concurrent in their outlook. Not in my case, sadly for my wonderful kids.
Isn't there a website for that? Weirdos wearing decidedly odd garb at Walmart? Please don't subject little tinkerbelle to the possibility of joining those ranks at such a tender age! Anyway, she should be circuit bending and making things blow up at her age. What? Only two? Well, melting barbies then.
and had you not used Windows it would have been a different story! So Apple and Linux are evil for letting teens surf porn without fear of virii and choking the system with rampant porn pop ups. Hmmm. Otherwise I agree with you!
Hmm. Try NY where all anyone has to do is make a wrongful accusation to the ACS to get a parent hauled through court for up to two years based purely on the accusation. In my case - case dismissed, family torn apart. Now this key logging nonsense is just that. Parents need to get off this paranoid trip they've been on for the past several years. these incidents of child abduction etc. are so rare that it makes no sense at all to protect your children from it. Just try to teach them to be smart about the things they do and the choices they make and they'll turn out fine. Just do normal parent stuff, like spending time with your kids and talking sensibly to them. My STBX thinks she has to protect my kids from me because I talk to them with respect, like people, not babies. It will backfire on the psycho eventually. She is the sort of nut-job that would look into this key logging thing but because she is such a retard she would never be able to figure out how to do it. i often despair at the apparent lack of plain old common sense in the world. Why are people so frigging stupid? And it is these clowns like the sherrif in this story that prey on that ignorance and stupidity. I am personally more in fear of the idiocy on my children's teachers and the harm that they can cause than some fictitious lurking boogey man on the evil internet.
I watched Watchmen - or I should say I saw it and I can barely remember anything about it. It just wasn't compelling in my opinion. It is interesting that opinions about this film range so widely from awful to freakin' awesome. I must be somewhere in the middle.
People also buy vinyl because there is still a lot of music that has not been reissued in other formats (such as the ultra modern 8 track cassette tape!).
it's 'horde' by the way. But humourous as your comment may be there is truth in it. The Nazis just loved to fraternize with the celebrities of their day - and they were all about corporate power.
That, and they would hold stories back for months or years as they have already done in the past - at the request of the government no less. I have no confidence in this and no one else should have either.

Yeah verily. Fuck the police and the Dodge Charger they rode in on brother...
Are you saying that your daughter needs more protection than boys, or did I pick that up wrong? Sounds like over protection in any case.
Yes
So you're a jerk?
yes, but what you saw was just a rash of stories. Means nothing in terms of the big picture. Snooping on your kids is WRONG.
yeah and root kits too!

why it's police state of America week every week in America. Didn't you know?
so the sane and Windows-free among us are safe from these underhand gubmint sponsored tactics. Anyone?

No need for an analogy.

Those cats at Polaroid and Intel are so hip to the groove! Far out baby! I'm just jealous. They didn't even ask me...sulk...this is ageism! I object!
What? There is actually such a thing? Never heard of it!
That, and they would hold stories back for months or years as they have already done in the past - at the request of the government no less. I have no confidence in this and no one else should have either.
OMG!!!!!!!!! NY Times r terrist's! Their doing same ass All Zajeeera!
