Just popping in to thank slythe for fixing my vBB booboo.
Then they should not be parents. Children are curious creatures and will get into things they should not be in. The possibility that a child could find and eat cleaning solvents or other hazardous chemicals does not imply you should not keep Drano in your house. It does imply that parents have to watch their kids and keep them away from dangerous things. Just like you would never leave a kid swimming alone if you don’t want them to drown you should never leave a child on the Internet alone if you afraid of them wandering onto a porn site. (There are also those net nanny things. My home computer does not have one. My sisters are expected to simply leave any porn they find. Their on-line time is limited and they would much rather be looking at the American Girl site or researching Harry Potter than looking at naked people.)
You do not watch children in “spare time”. A parent’s main job is to raise their child. Its not a vacation, a game, or a whim. The world is full of harsh and dangerous things. Raising a child in ignorance of them will not protect them. Rasiing a child with the knowledge that they are loved and protected from the dangers will give them a force of confidence and the ability to meet those dangers.
Sorry, this is far too long a post to take off from one small comment, (and in the wrong forum to boot) but that you think parenting is hardly important enough to take up spare time is scary to me.
I stand by my original advice - stick up for yourself. If this --> :rolleyes: gets your knickers in a twist, then I’d say you have some issues.

I wish I had a nickel for every goofy smilie, veiled insult and out and out attacks directed at me. I generally respond with an attempt at a cogent argument, not announcing to the boards what a poopy-head someone was for attempting to deride me.
All that aside, I don’t think you are for real. It is my opinion that you are affecting a persona for the sole purpose of attracting attention, that you are “trolling” for reactions, if you will.
Take it for what it’s worth. Why don’t you pop by MPSIMS and tell us about your day, or head off to IMHO and let us know what your favorite TV show is. But stop running for mommy. Join a discussion, for the love of Pete.

On both shift keys? While apparantly most of the other ones are working okay?
(BTW, bibliophage, thanks for one of the best laughs I’ve had in a while)
And SPOOFE, while both you and Righteous are here, tell him the toothpaste story. I’m sure he’ll enjoy it.
Are you sure, Jello? Perhaps we should start him on something easy, like “Felching”.
Rightous, It is even harder for people to accept your teachings when they are being rammed down their throats.
Sex is not a sin. If God gave us the machinery, why would s/he not want us to use it?
The world really isn’t as evil as you think. Spread love and it will come back to you in multitude. spread hate and it will bite you in the ass.
Rightous, If you havent guessed, this messageboard gathers a lot of different opinions and beliefs. you will have to accept that.
Jesus never said “love the sinner, hate the sin.” He did say “love one another as I have loved you”
Rightous, Chill, Read, and relax your guard for a while. We arent here to corrupt you. We wont force tyou to see what you dont want to see.There is good reading and good learning ahead, comrade.
Apparently there has been some sort of delivery problem. That last item was supposed to come to me. Please check the invoice and haul him on over here.
Jess (who has her pen out, ready to sign…)
I deserve a compliment.
You see, I had a terrific urge to run out to the SDMB Front Page, register a sock puppet as Russell Crowe and come in here to post something suggestive for Jess and Kat to fight over.
And I did not. Because that would be against the rules.
See?!? I deserve a compliment. And a Hug. Two Hugs. 'Cause tomorrow is my birthday. 
Pretty pretty please start this in GD! We’d have such FUN!
your friend, bruce
Gee, thanks, DDG. signs for delivery and hustles Russell Crowe inside Keep your fingers off my Russell Crowe, Jess, go get one of your own.
makes a detour to give sdimbert a hug You have a remarkable amount of self-restraint, Sdimmy.
You are wonderfully ethical, and honest to boot! Hug. Hug. Happy Birthday!
Awww… shucks. You guys should see the goofy grin I’m sportin’!
It would have been funny, wouldn’t it? 
Kat – alright, alright. Maybe I’ll see if I can get a rush delivery on Dennis Quaid. I hear he’s at liberty.
Sdimbert – yes, it would have been funny. I admire your self-control. Myself, if I’d thought of that good a gag, I don’t know if I could’ve kept from breaking the rules to carry it out.
Good choice on that one, Jess. I hear good things about the Dennis Quaid.
Oh, sdimbert, I forgot the birthday hug, so here it is: hug Happy Birthday.
Excuse me?! What is all this huggin’ going on with my husband? I know he’s a cutie, but keep your hugs to yourself. 
Hey, he asked for it! And didn’t you know that sdimbert is the most notorious flirt on the board?
Okay, so I made that last part up. Wecome aboard, jdimbert!
