I have to get some work done, but since you seem like a reasonable guy who has yet to flip out and call me a racist nazi homophobe, I'll come back to this later. Have a good one.
I believe there is a flaw in your thinking centered around absolutism. In the same way that Zuckerberg is not absolutely Marxist even though he has some totalitarian leanings like Marxism (in philosophy or practice is a separate argument), it is also so that Zuckerberg is not absolutely a...
I didn't make the implication that Zuckerberg was a Marxist. Others did. What I did was imply to a poster that simply because Zuckerberg is a wealthy businessman does not make a 'safe' assumption that he does not have totalitarian leanings (some have said Marxist). Regardless of how he got...
Yes, I thought about that. Elements on the page could come from a different site. The only reason I go to this particular site is I have some items for sale there, and I've actually never had this blocker give me a problem before. It's been very effective in the past. I'm not sure why this has...

Agreed. But remember, the government closest to the people is the most responsive. I can go talk to my mayor anytime I want. I know him. President Trump... not so much LOL
I think we mostly agree. I don't mind the government partnering with parents on things like this... albeit I prefer the state and local governments to do this kind of thing for greater accountability close to home; I have concerns the government usurping parental authority, but controls are...
Interesting topic. In the same way that television was an issue when I was a kid, the internet can be a problem today, but it's only a small part of the bigger picture. One of the things I've noticed is that with the overload of schoolwork these days, passive activities like surfing the internet...
