ya, a good title is half the battle, huh? Still... I have to wonder what they were looking for and why... after all, it's Not that kind of a site, ya know?

(Waaaaay off topic, but something Masqua said sparked this rant…)
Save the Children Rant.
This particular subject is a Very Touchy one for me. I’ll probably use the word ‘you’ a lot… know that I am Not targeting any specific individual, but rather am using that word to denote Society as a whole.
Save the children, protect the children, shelter the children, shield the children…
Just exactly WHEN did it become MY responsibility to protect YOUR children? And just when, Exactly, did you decide to take on the burden of responsibility to protect MY child?

"Having raised two sons (now 32 and 35), I believe I have some idea of what would be a reasonable topic for a pre-teen or older."
Honestly??
I believe that you and your spouse are probably the only people on the face of the entire planet capable of making that decision... BUT
Are you Honestly going to tell Me that it IS cool to fill my kids head full of Santa Clause and Easter Bunny? (or Any subject whatsoever, doesn't matter... pick a subject)
Again, ATS T&C totally aside here, you really don't want Me censoring the information that is made available to your family any more than I want you to censor things... or do you?
To me, censorship is the opposite of education... it is embracing ignorance and denying information.
um... you Do know that this is a Purely Philosophical conversation, I think we are both aware of the fact that there's a great big world out there, and nothing is That Simple, yes?
