Essentially, what you are saying, is that the parents are not adequately preparing their children for adulthood. And is that the child's fault all of a sudden?
The parents already stop taking responsibility for their kids actions, and the kids are then treated like "children" by the system and so learn to depend on the system as their surrogate parent.
When I was in france, and 13, 14, my stepfather would let me have a beer at home once in a while. I learned to appreciate good beer versus bad beer, learned to drink beer over conversation, instead of at the frat house like 90% of americans. I know no drinking games, don't have a drinking problem, and never get drunk (last time I got drunk was 1988).
In reality, I want the kids to have the freedom to experience things without the responsibility. That's what the parents are here to shoulder, as one of the burdens of childrearing.
Because sex is needed for the furtherance of the specie, and, by extension, of any group.
So if the poor and stupid and criminals stopped having sex (can't have babies without sex) the WASPs could eventually have their nice little world where everybody is rich, smart, and law-abiding.
14 years old can pull the trigger as easily as a 22 year old.
In this country, ([stand up straight, remove hats] our Blessed and Glorious Country), you are a child, a child you hear, with no rights, no voice, no nothing, until you turn 18 and then wham, society hits you with a ton of bricks (paperwork) and all of a sudden you're supposed to conduct yourself as an adult and a productive member of society. Well, if you don't get the training and exposure, sherlock, you ain't gonna be any good at dealing with adult stuff.
I'm of the opinion that all the under 17 or under 18 laws can be brought to under 13 and society will be better off in the long run.
US, wake up, the other 5.7 billion people can't all be wrong.
That's nothing. Canada has a 24 hour time difference...
The only problme with canada is that there's only about 25 million people, so if you start to outsource tens of thousands of jobs from the US to CA, the CA tech market will heat up rapidly and the wages will rise fast.
Yes, and now that the US has demonstrated its superior manhunting skills against a determined strategist, we'll be getting our miffs on Osama in no time.
Who is eugenia Loli-Queru, married to Jean Baptiste, who is in the screenshots? With her email address eloli ~at~ hotmail ' com, and what is slackware doing installed on a celeron?
Who is Michael Hall who works for a consultancy and does server installs like the articel says, but who uses eugenia's screenshots?
So you can reminisce about "how things were back then"? So you can primp to your so-called friends? Vain. So you can have a conversation piece over afternoon tea? All self-serving selfish things.
Oh, so you can make your wife happy?
I tell you what: take the skirt off and get your pants back from her, and tell her that if the marriage starts with her spending money on frivolous things, it would be better if there was no marriage. No need to set a dangereous precedent.
Listen, make it a habit of taking care of each other and each day will feel like your wedding day.
300 years ago, people didn't have wedding photographers.
If you have 5000 to spare, give it to your church. They can do something better with it.
Except of course that interfaces in the real world are 3D, have weight, bulk, size, different colors (ever seen a yellow dog at night? Ain't yello no mo), and can be touched, pulled, licked (spoons, you mofos), brushed against, puched, punched, slid, twisted, and turned.
You try to do that with a mouse and a keyboard only...
Well, why should virus writers spend time and energy into debugging their software when there are hundreds of people at antivirus companies ready to do it for them for free?
The Atlanta Bee reports today that Kidland, the largest online kids resources website was hacked by two russian crackers and thousands of kids saw the most obscene and female-objectifying porn imaginable for thirty minutes while site adiministrators tried to restore normal service. Unable to do so, they shut the site down. It should be noted that the domain, kidland.kids.us, was specifically designed to provide an area on the internet safe for children.

Won't work if you were not allowed to actually "do" anything.

Except that then most adults would not be able to vote, and that would be unfair, I said, unfair...
Plus, usually, those are the people with guns.
they could get over that if they didn't have to deal with the rabble.

Twisted huh?

Brittney Spears is not around for the long haul...
I think she is. She would be hard pressed to do anything else.
Well, she might do well in porn as a flash-in-the-pan kind of way. But Aguilera or Shakira would still beat her at that, methinks.
What do you mean not invented yet. Surely all that technology has existed since time immemorial.
Oh, and B.C. means Before Cellphones

... In Japan!!!!
Oh, but it was
it's speling... Gosh get your misspelled words right already, sheesh.
I had a brain fart when I read all this.
Does Sony Sell PCs in Japan? Anyone?
Ever heard of the Sony Vaio line? ...in USA!
>Have you considered fucking off to slashdot.jp? Just a thought.
I'll have more of the fourth word than you in my lifetime. How does that make you feel, troll?
To the others:
Indeed, Romaji is an official character set in Japanese. Also, Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji _are_ syllabaries.
That's probably right.
> Japanese alphabet
Japanese alphabet?
alpha, beta...
There's no Japanese alphabet, there are character sets.
Three of them: Kanji, Hiragana, Katakana
Ballmer: "Xbox can beat up Sony."
Japanese Government:
"You round eye henna gaijin who dances badly, all your base are belong to us. Prepare to die."
So the screens don't relate to the article?
On celeron, ok.
Use some imagination? Ah, yes, I suppose. Where in france did you marry?
Who is eugenia Loli-Queru, married to Jean Baptiste, who is in the screenshots? With her email address eloli ~at~ hotmail ' com, and what is slackware doing installed on a celeron?
Who is Michael Hall who works for a consultancy and does server installs like the articel says, but who uses eugenia's screenshots?
mmm?
Why do you want pictures of your wedding?
So you can reminisce about "how things were back then"?
So you can primp to your so-called friends? Vain.

All self-serving selfish things.

I say shut them both down.
They both broke the law, and they both need to go to the corner and learn to play nice.
