That is true as well. Many children, at least in the Western World, are raised with things in place now by the School Systems or Parents at home that do not prepare one to have a sense of worth outside of what other's say or do.

It's actually very sad. When I first became a parent, and felt that responsibility, and wanted to protect them with my life, I ended up becoming too overprotective. Partially because of how my father, let's just say "raised me in the old, old fashioned, pain is love" way, and I wasn't about to let that happen to them.

But after they reach between 6 and 8, their brain comes into a development state where they can begin to logically understand many things much better. However, my guess is that there are many parents that are getting their 9 year old, or younger, kids on the net for this, because Bushiroad promotes it for Ages 9 on up.

Many others never monitor anything, just doing it so they don't have to "babysit" their kids and can watch TV or do other really important things. This also includes Special Needs children, unfortunately, and then one wishes one could (enter obvious thought) the parent several times to wake them up or report them.

You are not responsible for what they do, but I don't by into the other popular "Western World" philosophy that "it's our life, so we can do what we want with it." "No man is an island", is certainly overused, but still profound. We are social creatures that in many ways belong to society and the people we come in contact with.

People can say "I'ts my life, I can do whatever I choose" all they want, but there was a time early on, when, if another member of society did not clothe, feed, or care for them, they simply would have died. Then, the infamous study of the babies who died for simple lack of touch. And, unfortunately, when some people get old, they go through the baby phase again being fed and taken care of by other people.

I think then, that even though we are not responsible for someone elses mistakes as a parent, overseer, etc..., we can choose to realize that it does exist and become responsible in our own words and how they affect the people they reach. Because, I know 8 year olds, and there are younger, that can talk like an adult. Yes, it's their parent's fault for not watching, but if we just keep it in mind, the conversation would automatically be more encouraging to those we don't know well, while still being able to needle those we do for fun.

I was stupidly oversensitive because my browsers were whacked out at first, it was the first time that they then let me edit, and then I finally figured out how to edit. I'm used to using whatever editing keys are available inside a program as I create.

If I knew before hand that it was something the community wanted, I wouldn't have been as stupid about what was going on, but I stupid. When I finally realized it was wiser to simply change it to the norm, and I was acting like a child, I changed it.

You know how it is. Sometimes we respond, not to the situation that is presently going on, but to past things that have happened when we were unable to defend ourselves, as scientists have found. Then we assume we are upset because of the current situation, and really, our subconscious has gone into fight or flight and we are doing one or the other.

My apologies. And I'm glad it's over and have absolutely no ill will to you. I like what you give. It's a lot. Hopefully, I will keep my own advice in mind and not respond as child in the future.
