Let's blame everyone!

Myspace, Britney, Family Guy, Eminem and the list goes on. Parents are constantly complaining about why their kids are so screwed up, and how it’s everybody else’s fault. Guess what parents? It’s your own fault! Stop complaining your 14 year old daughter dress like a hooker because of Britney, you’re the one that’s supposed to provide her cloths. Don’t bitch that your kid has a foul mouth because of Family Guy, you pay the cable bill. Don’t complain that their fat because of McDonalds, your responsible for feeding them. You can’t complain about how much time your kid spends texting, when you can simply take away their phone. You have no right to complain about the kinds of people your kid is talking to on Myspace if your not even bothering to monitor what they do. Maybe you people didn’t realize it, but your responsible for your children. Legally and morally. Why are you bitching so much instead of doing something about it. Especially in a world as high tech as the one we live in today. Cable companies provide means to block TV channels, even if you don’t have a cable box. All computers have a means of parental control, regardless of your ISP. And of course, there is that old fashion method of just sitting your kids down and talking to them. Get off your butt and take responsibility for the children your brought into this world. Having to work to support your family is no excuse for neglecting them morally.


Your children’s cloths, language and behavior have nothing to do with what they watch or listen to. It has to do with how you teach them to view those things. You can’t control the world. So instead of writing letters to TV exec’s that their show corrupted your child, or calling the record company because their diva dresses like a slut, spend that time with your children. Teach them why a 14 year old shouldn’t wear a tube top and t-back to school. If your kid ends up looking like a 400 pound hooker with tourettes, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. Do your job or they just may end up as irresponsible and immature as you.


Your supposed to be raising children, not support to ban Family Guy. It doesn’t matter if you’re a single parent, work two jobs, or have a medical condition. There is no reason you can’t be there for your kids. Yes, being a parent is a tough job. But it’s one worth doing right. Use the resources available to parents, join a support group, install parental controls, talk to your kids. You have a better chance of educating them, then you do getting Britney to dress like a nun.


Now how about some feed back. Any suggestions on how to cope with raising kids? Or just have something to say? Leave a comment and share it with the world.

Un-Social Networking

In a world with cell phones, PDA’s, and Instant messengers, technology has made it easier and faster to communicate. Allowing us to keep in touch with friends and families anywhere, anytime with the push of a button. But, with social networking sites such as Myspace, Facebook and Friendster, have we become dissocialized? We post everything about our personal lives on our webpage’s from what music we listen to, where we go to hang out to how many times a week we change our underwear. We advertise things we would normally confide in our best friends about in blogs. Telling everyone everything from how what a jerk our boss is to the lover you just caught cheating on you to how much you hate Britney. We post bulletins with dozens of surveys about our love lives, our favorite things or weather or not we’ve slept with anyone in our top 4. We populate our friends list with hundreds of people we don’t know, never speak to and have no intention of responding to their emails. There are even users who browse profiles for hours looking for that all mighty booty call. Eliminating the need to mingle in a singles bar, or make a run down to the street to pick up a hooker. No longer do we have boundaries. Nothing is sacred anymore. Have we lost our sense of what socializing means? Would people rather send dozens of messages to every girl or guy within 20 miles of there zip code saying, “Hey your hot lets screw!”, instead of tracking down your best friend from high school or keeping in touch with your friends?

Now there are dozens of these sites, and you can find one for just about anything you want. Need a drug dealer, check the web. Are your horney tonight? Go surf Cherry Tap or Xpeeps. Wanna find the crazy cat lady club, check out Myspace groups. And hey, why not post those nudey pics your ex took and tell everyone on the net just how freaky you get in the bedroom. It seems through these social sites, we’re becoming less and less social. Coming home after work and spending the entire evening on the computer. We don’t take the time to get to know each other anymore by spending time together. Why bother, when it’s all right there on the web? Everything you ever wanted to know about a person, or not, all right there with the click of your mouse.

But then there are people like myself, who utilize these sites to keep in touch with those I care about. To find lost loves and friends. To post cute comments and funny graphics, just cause I want to make someone smile.

What about you? What do you prefer to use this tool of tech for? Leave your comments, and while your at it take the poll. We'll check back to see what everyone said.
