    The goddam problem is people placing too much fucking importance on social media.

    We need to teach that it's just a computer game, so use it for your stuff and ignore the batshit crazy people.

    Hell, I do that at Thanksgiving over at grandma's house.

    ... outside social media and address the root of most of the problems.

    " ... violent extremism ... " isn't a social media problem -- it's a conversation about " ... violent extremism ... " in the real world.

    Those real world problems are due to lack of diplomacy and governance and statesmanship.

  16. Critical thinking ... on Efforts Grow To Help Students Evaluate What They See Online (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    ,,, should not be a course tailored for a specific subject.

    We're talking about a single "threat," here.

    When another single threat surfaces down the road are we going to teach critical thinking about that?

    Schools should be preparing students in the general art of knowing the difference between bullshit and wild honey.

    That won't happen until teachers are allowed to teach without the guidance of vacuous-minded outsiders like DeVos, batshit crazy right-wing Christian Evangelicals, and the Texas textbook industry (that mentions Blacks slaves as migrant "workers").

    That won't happen until adults with more sense than god gave a piss ant start voting rationally.

    I'm not optimistic.

  17. These are the same schools that want to teach intelligent design; that slaves were immigrant workers; and that competition is everyone gets a trophy.

    There's no need to teach self-defense in schools.

    Teach the goddam curriculum and the rest will take care of itself.

    ... that social media is not your father's "me too," AOL.

    The problem is not that there's hate speech on social media.

    The problem is that people on social media validate the activity by objecting.

    When governments regulate social media, social media becomes a branch of the government.

    It's not. Leave it alone and don't feed the trolls.

    Japan was not an economic powerhouse back then and "globalization" was not a thing.

    Also, America is the only country to ever use thermonuclear weapons.

    Because there was no comparable retaliation, analogies fail.

    Today's border-less corporations will sell and transport weapons to any and all sides, but they will not allow annihilation of the customer base.
