>I am going to go on a soapbox here people. I have made the decision that I do not want children, because I don't want the responsibility of raising them (hell, I can hardly handle my dog). You, however, made the decision to have children and as a result, accepted the responsibility for raising them. But now, you want someone else to change their behavior, because you do not want take the responsibility for previewing or monitoring what your children read. What is wrong with this picture?

I've never really made a point of censoring words here- my only firm rule has been "no name calling or attacks against against other posters"because that's the only way to keep this a forum where everyone can express themselves. Let's face it there's a differance between saying "I couldn't get tickets and I was $#@! pissed" and "you're a !$#$%##@ asshole"

As far as the parental thing, if my son told me he should be able to stay out past a certain time because Jonny's parents let him do it, I wouldn't go to Jonny's parents and ask them to change that.(man, I don't know if that's wussy or ballsy!) My attitude "Well kiddo- this is my rule and that's it." Period. I like to think I'm my son's best buddy but I'm his parent first.

So as long as everybody expresses their opinion in a fairly respectful manner (and we've been able to do this just fine in the past)- fine. If I have to give you a gentle little hint- I'll do it. If a post is really out of line - *I'll pull it* and I won't take no crap about it ,either.

And for all the newcomers and lurkers who are coming out of the woodwork- pay special attention- express your opinion respectfully or it's gone -*poof* and I have to say the "get a life" was a bit out of line.
