It is only neglect if there is a curfew and/or if you don't know where they are at, I was allowed all around my neighborhood as well as I played baseball, football, hockey, and played release in the neighborhood. So kids today like skateparks and others still play sports but because parents dont want to keep an eye on their kids or they want to be lazy instead of letting their kids enjoy being kids they just give them whatever electronic device they want to shut them up because its the "cool" thing to do.

Though consoles have taken over the lives of teens and kids in general, this also is an issue with society and parents. Kids aren't told to go play outside anymore because parents are so filled with fear about their kids getting kidnapped or shot or something of the violent nature that they prefer them to stay inside. By all means i'm only 23 but i have a 2 year old son, and you better believe he will be outside playing and wont even have a cellphone until he is in H.S and even then being a techy his computer and cellphone use will be closely monitored so that he does stay active with friends. Before i even hit college i was outside everyday until the street lights came on either playing football or running around in general. Kids aren't really allowed to do that anymore because of parents fears. By all means i still played my consoles like crazy but parents no longer make take their kids outside to play sports or anything.

As an update, a good portion of China is already running on IPv6. A lot of technology is further along in China and Japan than it is in the US, and yes I do live in the US but I also do my research. As was stated in an earlier post, you can also utilize tunneling protocols and the such on your networks to change internal IPv4 Addresses to IPv6 and then back again. So attempting to delay the inevetable of IPv4 space running out by harvesting unused IP space is pointless. Make companies upgrade their infrastructure now or suffer the losses later.

IMHO religious extremeist exist within all religions, this does not exclude any one, Christians, Muslims, Buddhist I'm sure, any of them. Before people can get on the case of oh this religion kills in the name of their God more than this one realize that in all religions there are extremeist that believe their religion is superior. Yes I am a Christian and there is NOWHERE in the Bible where it says it is right to kill someone else in Gods name. It is a SIN and a horrible sin at that. Muslims are the same way as far as I can tell, it is not right to kill though the extremeists have interepreted their book in such away that it is OK to kill for Allah, Just as the Christians did on a massive scale during the Crusades. Before we judge someone because of what they believe, lets look at ourselves first. I for one would not kill someone just because they do not believe in my God, for it is not my place to judge, though to defend my family and my life I would commit that sin and for only that reason. We all have our differences yet we coexist because we are human and have intelligence and can think. It is the ones that believe they are above everyone that ruin the true belief of religion and what it means, as well as race, it is the acts of a few that cause others to be prejudice against the majority.
