MySpace, internet police, amigurumi lops, and weekend plans
Watching the news, and apparently local parents are up in arms about social networking sites like MySpace and how every pedophile on the web is logging on to look at their kids. Every time they do a report like that I need to restrain myself from throwing whatever is in my hands at the TV screen because I just can’t stand the constant expectation of parents that the internet should be a happy place full of sunshine and rainbows and the act of sheltering these kids from the real world. News flash, people, the real world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, so why would you fucking expect the internet, made up of the real world with every aspect, both the good and the bad, exagerated exponentially, to be any different? They finish the report with the warning, “keep your computers in a public area of the house and pay attention to what your children are doing online.”
Well no shit. Think of it this way: if you don’t believe that your child is old enough or mature enough to handle being at the mall with friends on a Friday night, then don’t let them on the net unsupervised. Just because it’s in your house, doesn’t mean it’s safe. Hell, Eddie posed as a 15 year old girl on MySpace and got about 10 cock pics a day sent to him. Granted he was also posting provicative pictures of her, but unsolicited homemade porn sent to someone who says right in her profile “I’m 15″ is pushing it, and would probably happened regardless of what kind of images were posted.
I spent the night watching The Book of Daniel and working on this little lop-eared bunny. I call her Coco, and my God is she the cutest, snuggliest little thing I’ve ever made. I need to work on getting her eyes to stay secure, but I just can’t stop thinking about how frickin adorable she turned out. I’ll have to check what I’ve got in terms of yarn and see if I’ve got enough to make her a friend. Out of all the amigurumi animals I’ve made, I think she turned out the best, and she’s the only one that I’ve kept for myself so far, all the others have gone to other people, with Eddie having the biggest collection so far.
We’re going to Mom’s tomorrow to watch the Patriots in the playoffs. We’re also having dinner over there, and I’ll probably round up all the yarn i’ve got around the house to make another bunny or two while we’re there to try to sell online. Sunday we’ll probably spend here at the house, lounging around in bed and having sinfully dirty sex all day, getting all tangled up in the sheets and being nasty to each other.
However, no matter how much Eddie begs, I’m not going to pee on his face and call him a whore.

Boy it gets harder and harder to be a parent these days. Now you don’t have to just tell them about sex and drugs but also diseases and online safety.

The problem isn’t that you’ve got to discuss these things with the kids, it’s that most parents don’t - they simply either push everything out of site, out of mind in hopes that it will just disappear, or they expect the rest of the world to change because they can’t be bothered to take care of thier kids and expect everything should be as good and safe as an episode of My Three Sons, where you could leave your kids out and trust they’d come home when the street lights went on.

I just wanna say some of these girls go on my space and they show their tits and say i like it when i get cum on my face its like what do u expect when you are the one leading ppl on by exposing yourself some of thes girls r under 15yrs old.I am 2o yrs old and i do remeber some girls that i know will go on these sites and dress half naked to try and get guys.Its bad that these thing happen but u got to realize the world is not all sunshine and loli pops.
Parents just need to talk to thier kids and hope and pray that their words r getting to them.I know when i was 15 i did do some mess up things my parents told me not do, but how r these kids suppose to learn if they never experience them self then they will always be tempted to try it or do it.
