Point taken....hopefully, tho, notice will be taken of the point being made....
As in....
and too frequently abused by kids afforded way too much of it....as in that privacy eventually becomes secrecy, and that secrecy is what comes back to bite yer on the arse for being too lenient/naive`
And at what point does 'respecting' kids privacy become stupidity or worse...neglect: that this so called respecting privacy thing becomes so paramount you're blinded to things you should know in order to protect them, and not just from predators but from themselves?
Don't suppose it matters much here in Tassie anymore anyway...the government here has made sure kids can do exactly as they please by effectively negating parental rights so we CAN NOT exercise appropriate parental controls.
I recall only too well spending 12+ hours at a police station under threat of charges that could have seen me serving 7 or more years in prison for trying to protect my step-daughter with what were considered reasonable parental measures just 10 - 15 years ago.
Guess it'll take more parents being kicked in the guts by the system like my wife and I have been before this insane debate about childrens rights takes a more serious and responsible turn. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone, knowing the agony it causes, but it would seem more parents/people need to be as badly betrayed by the system before they'll stand up and take notice of what has become an epedemic.
Subject ends here for me, otherwise I'll be thinking about a length of rope again

It's illegal to just own underage pornography, and I believe that applies more or less to all countries. I guess arresting some chap here and there for stocking 10,000 pics and videos of underage gives the local police a good name. However, such sites that waste honnest efforts like BlackDragon 17's still exist? And parents who get frustrated are called tyrants and are threatened by the Law? For what, not respecting human rights?
I don't think this is about a generations gap. I think this is about 16 year olds doing stuff they shouldn't, and 40 year olds not doing stuff they should.
Anyway, Thank for reading. I hade to let that one out. And thanks to BlackDragon 17. I haven't been here for long but I think this is already a good place.

I'm beginning to wonder about you & Po'Smedley, Skinhit..
The fascination with photoshopping each other in their underwear is more than just a little bit bizarre...
hmmmm...actually, perhaps those pic's should be on mySpace.
Erk wanders off muttering something about an "evil plan"

hey i like skinning and i'm 15.
As for Myspace....lots of people kept telling me to make an account there cause it was so fun........even my younger sister told me that...
But i didn't do it........cause in the news...it said that it causes many problems...(not going to mention them)...(ok maybe one).............A group of kids were able to track and kill a kid (your age) in a high school in New York.
I don't want that to happen to me.......but i did go on a site named Sconex.
Its more nicer and friendly looking like WC.

you know the youngest person I've come across here is 14 and the oldest 76 and I love that everyone here does their own thing with no age differentation....but what if there was a yearly competition for under 18's......perhaps a forum area for them to brainstorm/collaborate on a project like the 'Heavy Equipment' guys.....and be supported by workshops to help them improve their skills and more experienced guys to advise during the project...
just a thought...
keep the ideas comin' BlackDragon...enjoy your work....

Still can't understand the flipping the bird thing though. Maybe one of the youngsters can explain it cuz I just don't get it...
Guess I'm just too old school...and southern, but getting flipped off don't do anything for me but turn this neck of mine a touch on the crimson side.
