it's called "responsibility" silly. (Score 1)

yep. what else is new? we need something to blame this on, why not the net? the next time we have a major air disaster i think i will put forth the theory that the pilot likes to play flightsim in his spare time and must've forgotten that he was flying a real plane that could crash and kill people. then i will sue and retire. what it is is a bunch of parents who obviously aren't spending enough time with their kids. did they even know their kids had a website? did they care? were they involved with their lives at all? i have a friend who babysits for this same "upper middle class" demographic (cnn's words not mine) and was remarking how she generally spends twice as much time with the kids as the parents who are all out being social and living their lives as opposed to being interested in their kids' lives. yeah, guess i'm stereotyping a bit (or a lot) but it seems more and more true daily, as stuff like this makes glaringly obvious. newsflash - kids ain't just for status symbols. if you want a status symbol you can get rid of in a few years and can leave alone for half a day get a golden retreiver - and forget about having kids.
