Persuasion of Children (Community)
Persuasion of Children // Community.duo.Jun 11, 2003, 10:59am
As I always say, its all relative. If you mean to talk about 3 and 4 year
olds, they aren't on AW. How 'children' should be treated should not be a general statement. Every person differs. From the way I talk, how old would you say I am? I know some people who are 56 who are easier to pursuade then someone I know who is 8. You don't need to 'protect' children. Only ones raised by super-conservative parents (possibly like yourself) are vunerable. I've been in 'X' rated worlds before. Some have very 'strong' content, and some just want only adults in the world. There is nothing wrong with a little exposure, it will happen eventually anyway. The only difference is that it makes a person more prepared for things they may encounter in life. "I think the only thing anyone in the community can do is nip the situation in the bud as it arises. I really don't think starting a crusade on the subject is going to help. Unless you know a way to round up all the children in all the worlds and shove them all into a single child friendly world with 24 hour in world supervision? I dont' think so." What situation? What are you talking about? Shoving all the 'children' into one 'child friendly' world would be horrible. Limiting freedoms is bad, but doing it so people will be more naive, more vunerable to things, etc. is horrible, especially beacuse you are considering all the people the same. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME, and therefore you can not judge them the same. As I said, you cannot consider all 'children' the same. They are normal people, not naive 'innocent' little people, unless of course they are raised by conservative parents. They are people, individuals, not some flock of animals that you can herd somewhere. "I tought my children about bad things that can happen in the net. I tought my children to have common sence." which is fine. "And when my children are in the net, even in AW, there is a parent there to make sure they don't get them selves in trouble." Only if you left them compeltely naive will they ever get into trouble. "The Internet, even AW, is not a babysitter." As it shouldn't be. Whether a person needs a babysitter or not is up to the parents, not someone else. The parents should have the say on what their children should be exposed to, not you or a world owner.

I think she isn't listening to anyone, she doesn't understand that a 'child'
unless unexposed is an intelligent human being, not some vunerable naive person vunerable to be persuaded to do bad things. I half agree, I would say that applies to children, not 'children' (I would say children are people 1-when they are exposed to some things, generally within the range of 4-7). The definition of 'children' are people 0-18, which is wrong, and has been proven wrong by psychology. It all depends on what you rate maturity on. [View Quote] .duo.Jun 11, 2003, 11:07am
No it isn't, it is the responsibility of the parents, since the parents know
the 'child' and the community doesn't. You don't want someone like you raising someone like me. Completely different views and everything. [View Quote] .duo.Jun 11, 2003, 11:11am
Discipline also should be determined by parents only.
Watching out for should be done by friends and oneself, not strangers. Teaching is only the responsibility of the community if the person wants it to be. Raising is done by the parents and the person themself. Look, I don't mean to be a jerk, but PLEASE do not force your political views down people's throats, just like you tried to do with your religion. [View Quote] .duo.Jun 11, 2003, 11:13am
Yeah, but considering that very few 'children' need that, or are even that
vunerable, it isn't needed. Day care is for very young people, not all people under 18. [View Quote] screbJun 16, 2003, 2:42pm
I wanna raise my kids to become pornstars... this so I will be sure they
will become financialy independent... If they would become to ugly, I would raise them to become drugsdealers.. still quiet some money to make out of that... If they would not have business instincts to become a good dealer, I think I would like them to become a killer for the FBI or CIA or sumfin... They would be well protected by law and so on... If they would be real loonatics, I would send them to the army. I just hope they don't get decent jobs where they hafta work hard as hell and make hardly any money, and for certain I hope they won't become politicians, cause I think honesty is a very important thing in life wich should be taken seriously... Well this is what I tell all the kids out here in AW aswell... Every convo I start asking them if they wanna become pornstars... If they need any help... here I am... Tho ur not a kid anymore "The Lady", if u need any adresses, I am always there for u if u need some introduction... Think about it... look in the mirror and tell urself: "I could be one... and I would love it!!" screb... [View Quote] |
