Reply #124: Perry, do your grandkids have My Space or Face Book accounts?

If so, you might want to share this sentence from your post with them:

<<I gather most people don't think of it in this way when they are posting, but once you post something on this or any website, it is there forever for everyone to see.<<

I freely admit that I have been fast and loose with the eff-word here in my day. But I have to say that I have seen more objectionable, and more potentially damaging, words and images by looking over my daughter's shoulder as she peruses her friends' accounts on these sites than I think I have ever seen here, where people post anonymously. That is the bigger danger that kiddies need to be warned away from, IMHO.

You either learn to deal with the way people express themselves here, or you don't. Like Charles Barkley, we don't claim or pretend to be anybody's role model, and if some continue to labor under that delusion, well, sorry.
