I think if you're going to allow the internet, cable television and video games to raise your children, you have no right to bitch and bemoan when said children develop social and psychological disorders.

Case in point....

Quote:
just as he did every day from 3:30 until he went to bed around 11. Daniel said he was hooked.
Over 7 hours on the computer and nary a parent in sight that questions why a 15 year old boy is spending all that time on the computer. Nobody has that much 'research' to do, do they? How fucking clueless do his parents have to be?

Quote:
"Do you want someone who is like that baby-sitting your children or sitting next to your daughter in school?" she asked.
They already do.

Quote:
Daniel said he began to feel very uncomfortable around girls at school.

"I still think about looking at porn every day,"
Welcome to adulthood, Danny. Here's your key to the washroom and the secret handshake.

It's no doubt that pornography has a much broader reach than it did in my day when all the dirty magazines were behind plain brown paper by the counter, but to call this an addiction...Well, it's just silly. It's just another attempt to demonize sex and all that goes with it. Call it an 'addiction,' talk about the cost (*gasp...money) and scare the crap out parents. Use fear filled language implying that these perverts could....be...right....next door. (i.e. the babysitting reference). Fill it full of official sounding shit like 'pornography affects boys more than girls.' The entire article is hyping an epidemic that doesn't exist in an attempt to get us to feel ashamed for our sexuality. Another swipe at making us feel dirty about masturbating and fantasizing about the big breasted girl next door needing help with her homework...she's willing to do anything, anything if you help her.....where was I?

Kids are kids. In today's society where the vast majority of parents are perfectly happy to let Cinemax, Playboy, and BigAsses.com explain the facts of life to their children, is it any wonder that the current crop are overly curious and fixate on sex?

You want to solve this problem, fix the parents as they appear to be broken.
