hsoj
10.03.11 | my dad's friend's daughter has facebook and she's 3. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | LOL good response but looking for honest beliefs on this subject sir. |
hsoj
10.03.11 | There, I've changed it to a fun fact. Not actually fun, I think its stupid as hell. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | "my dad's friend's daughter has facebook and she's 3."
That honestly annoys the shit out of me. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | Exactly SP I'm just creeped out by it for the most part. |
TheBuzzKiller
10.03.11 | Welcome to the machine.
Yeah I agree with you on this one lol |
someguest
10.03.11 | I am against bitches putting pictures of their children on the internet. |
Relinquished
10.03.11 | My cousin had a kid 4 years ago and he's smart as shit for his age, and he knows basic computer skills.
I'd rather have my child live with the internet probably around the 4-5th year of school |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I'm not against my kid understanding computers and the internet... hell I'll have it tearing down PC's real young but I'm totally talking about an online presence. |
BallsToTheWall
10.03.11 | I dont remember using the computer before I was old enough to watch porn. |
WashboardSuds
10.03.11 | I'm with you on this, omni |
Relinquished
10.03.11 | "I dont remember using the computer before I was old enough to watch porn."
I started using it seriously when I was 14-15 |

This so much. |
Tyrannic
10.03.11 | As long as it's mainly baby pictures and whatnot, I don't see much of a problem. I mean, parents put photos of their children fucking EVERYWHERE.
Oh, wait, I just played a round of black ops.
BAN THEM ALL. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I can understand what you are saying Tyrannic however I just don't want other people e.g. facebook, picasa, flickr or photobucket in charge of the security of the photos of my child when I could simply not have my child's safety compromised at all. |
someguest
10.03.11 | My kid will not be on the Internet until he/she is old enough to put himself/herself on it. |
wabbit
10.03.11 | My mom didn't let my brother get facebook/chat on msn till grade 8. But she's a principal and my dad is a teacher and the amount of bullshit caused by younger kids on the internet is really unbelievable. She was part of a research group on the subject and until around grade 11 the vast majority of young can completely separate what they say to people on the internet from how they would act around people in real life. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | ^ that is how I feel someguest
|
climactic
10.03.11 | middle school imo |
Tyrannic
10.03.11 | omni, that's true. i always forget how shitty facebook's security is. If we weren't talking about 40+ year old moms i'd just say teach them how to fix the settings.
Basically, balls' comment is perfect. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | Wabbit: Based om what I see on facebook with my current child's classmates I'm good. they all fucking suck and think they matter so I'll continue to just say no. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | "omni, that's true. i always forget how shitty facebook's security is."
I cannot stress this "accidental" security breech enough. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | middle school imo

Vesper
10.03.11 | I think keeping your kid off things like Facebook will be for the better, omni.
Besides all of FB's security problems and the permanence/spread of images uploaded to the Internet, in general, kids just don't have the mental maturity to really know what to do with themselves on a social networking site and how to filter what they're putting out there and what they're seeing (both words and images).
Kids are pretty narcissistic, until they learn - through interaction with others - that they aren't the center of the world, but the isolation and sense of importance that an online profile provides would probably skew that development.
Make your kid read a book, go play in the mud, draw on your walls. S/he won't be the hippest kid with an iPhone by age nine, but will probably be better off for it.
Oh, and congrats! :)
I didn't know you were expecting, but that's great news (as long as you raise that kid right, haha). |
toxin.
10.03.11 | My AIM is from when I was 9, and I was on the computer playing video games and shit at age 5. It's why my eyes are so bad.
But that's difference from an online presence, but I mean if it's email and shit whatever. Facebooking them that young is plain stupid because in ten years who knows it'll even be around |
someguest
10.03.11 | Vesper quit trying to come off responsible. We all know you live on the edge! |
Vesper
10.03.11 | Lol, someguest.
Hey, that's why I don't plan on having kids for a long time (if ever)... too busy living on the edge, haha.
But dumb parents raising even dumber kids just piss me off to no end. |
Metamorphosis
10.03.11 | I myself am only 5-6 years old and I've had a Facebook for years. |
UrAssIsMyHat
10.03.11 | What bothers me the most is when parents have those stickers on their cars like "our family" where it puts all the kids names and shit. |
someguest
10.03.11 | I think there's a relationship between age of childbearing and intelligence. And I'm not ready for kids - something I recognize but a lot of people can't determine for themselves. |
WatchItExplode
10.03.11 | Amen brother......I think we've agreed middle school is about the most generally appropriate age.
Now what age should kids get cell phones? |

Uh, bingo
"What bothers me the most is when parents have those stickers on their cars like "our family" where it puts all the kids names and shit."
Really the same thing imo. |
someguest
10.03.11 | When they can sign their names on the contract line. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I'm good with that feater |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | but what do you think of my list? |
someguest
10.03.11 | I've only heard 2. It's a good (3.5) record. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | oh, these are al great sir... I love your penis. |
sifFlammable
10.03.11 | omni is that a photo of ur wife in your profile picture |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I kind of want to have children with you btw. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | "omni is that a photo of ur wife in your profile picture"
Fuck no... that was random and I don't think I could find it again.... someone google goggle it. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | "someguest you're a bit of a bitch"
don't forget I love you... |
Trebor.
10.03.11 | You shouldn't be on the internet if you can't wipe your own ass |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | ^ I fully agree |
Voivod
10.03.11 | I didn't have an on-line presence until I was in my 20's and I don't think my child should until they are at least at the age of reasoning
I totally agree. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I agree with your total agreement sir. |
iFghtffyrdmns
10.03.11 | I agree with you.
God damn kids these days.
Or really should say god damn parents, but oh well. BE A GOOD DAD PLEASE OK? OK |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | "God damn kids these days."
Quote of the day rt hur. |
MO
10.03.11 | I think one issue is the fact that kids these days, let's say born post 1995, have easier access to so much more information. Everything is spoon fed to them with google and the internet in general that kids are "getting older" at a much younger age. I ride the bus to work and see some of the stuff these younger kids say and do is really ridiculous for their age. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | I think that is actually a misconception... well let me back up. I agree with part of what you say "easier access to so much more information" this part. The part I think is a misconception is the "kids are "getting older" at a much younger age. I ride the bus to work and see some of the stuff these younger kids say and do is really ridiculous for their age." as I can honestly say that some of the stuff that came out of my mouth (pre-teen) would make a sailor blush. I just think we find it more distasteful at this age because we know what kind of consequences are attached to unfettered foul language in general society. |
Alexcore
10.03.11 | Parents' irresponsibility is the problem. When your kid is allowed to have internet access by the time it's born and the parents "are cool with it" or sees its parents spending hours and hours in front of a computer screen, it's reasonable that it will follow the same habit. Soon the habit becomes addiction and there you go. |
omnipanzer
10.03.11 | ^ gotta Say I'm really guilty of that. PC has taken place of T.V. in my household. I hate family friendly programming though and I can't watch Breaking Bad with my kid so... |
Maniac!
10.03.11 | I have nothing to say on the matter.
Hello. |
PayneTiger777
10.03.11 | I work with children and I see kids who have iPhones at the age of 8. It's a sad sad world we live in. I didn't get a cell phone until I was a freshman in college. |

10.03.11 | "Kids are pretty narcissistic"
