"These" days? There were jokes about that back in the 90s. (Which, scrolling down, I find that someone else quoted before I did. Leaving it in anyway.)

'The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.'

Our next-door neighbor has ten acres with streams and mud and trees (but no redwoods) and I do the same thing, so I guess we're both horrible people. Sometimes my daughter and the neighbor kids are even out of earshot, so I'm probably going to be arrested. 12 year olds need to be on the computer or playing WII as God intended.

Good for you! Last year we took the kids to a neighborhood party and there was plenty of wooded area for the older kids to play, AND it had rained earlier. My daughter brought a friend who is a real couch potato and I wasn't sure how it would go. The friend was delivered home around 11 pm, filthy dirty, grinning from ear to ear.

Or the father. Only girl I knew who got pregnant in Jr High had that happen to her. Her mom coerced her into having it from what I gathered, didn't know her. Wonder whatever happened to them.

"A mobile phone application which claims to identify adults posing as children is to be released."

This is good news for Teabagger pedophiles since they can only communicate in a <strike>childlike</strike> childish babble.
