I agree man. 20 years ago we did not have this crap. I remember when I was in high school a kid kept stealing another guys seat and bullying him. So the kid got tired and knocked the crap out of him...after that day the kid never got bullied.

Parents wonder why their kids act so bad could it be that the entertainment sector keeps pushing the envelope because kids keep loosing interest in last years thing to have interest in the latest thing.

I mean think about it, we have a weight problem in America, why is this? We are stuck in front of our computers, our TVs, etc. This is because they are parenting devices and entertainment devices. We as adults make a choice to use these entertainment devices and because we are lazy we use these same entertainment devices on our children. Hence the reason why we have obese 5th graders. In the US we need to get back to basics and learn to turn off the electronic device and go outside.

How can they be sure a child will know how to identify a sexual predator? Since when is trolling a crime? Also where are the parents? Are parents okay with an unknown adult be it a police officer or a social worker getting into their child's business? Since when did it become the governments job to parents peoples children? Why not allow the parents to make the choice on if the police should be called. Leaving that decision to a child is just opening the door to all sorts of problems.

Also why is it that we now need programs like this? Kids will always be kids. Children have always been bullied in one form or another why is now that this day in age it is a crime and a huge problem? Why not focus on the problem of why now in this day in age when a kid is bullied they shoot up a school or try to commit suicide. Lets find out why kids today are "soft" and let things like name calling or different opinions send kids over the edge where 20 years ago this sort of thing would not happen. If we do not solve that problem kids of today will be in for a rude surprise when they hit the real world.

I am not saying if a child is being sexually assaulted by a 50 year old in yahoo chat that the authorities should not be notified, I think they should and in regards to that I think the parents should make the decision to notify the police. In regards to bullying I think in some cases kids of today should grow up a little and prepare for real life and accept that sometimes people are assholes.

Prove we are overpopulated. Did someone find an Earth manual someplace that says only 7billion humans can be supported? I am sure wise ass will come back and say "We are overpopulated because people are starving in ". Well people starve in American and Americans are considered some of the fattest. So I think maybe we are not overpopulated we just have a food delivery problem.

I think it is going to depend on the classes she takes. I ran Linux at UNT and had little to no problems connecting to the internet. I had no problems with papers, vpn, etc. The problems I did run into where the classes that have a little course application that came with the book that needed windows or mac only. My wife ran into an issue like that where her statistics software would only run on Windows or Mac. The school IT department is not going to know about that. Most of the wi-fi is DHCP, or if it is like UNT you have to register your mac address but it was just a browser based application.

Yes it would cause a stir in America. If Americans knew Microsoft had changed the picture it would send the message that African Americans do not know how to use software or a computer. If the picture was just two white people and an Asian guy the Asian guy would be out of place and people would complain. All people do now days is complain about pointless stuff.

Well I don't listen to Rush, dont care for the guy. But what does your comment say about you?
  • Rush probably makes more then you
  • He has his own radio show
  • Most people in the US know who he is

Of that list I bet you cannot check any of those off for yourself? So in other words if Rush Limbaugh is the bar to be above, since his is the center of your joke, you are below that bar.So how worthless are you? Maybe your brain has less tissue compared to Rush?

A bug in the hand is better than one as yet undetected.
