Supervision doesn't mean "watching you at all times." It means having a dialouge with your child about what is appropriate and what is not, and having open discussion and honesty.

Re: Concerns on Members photo pics

I use a picture in my avatar and for some reason, no one's coming on to me, (except ironmanjack, I'm pretty sure he'd follow me home if he knew where I lived (JK)).

Point being, I could be using anyone's picture.

Considering that we live in the country's ninth largest city with over 1.2 million people, I'm not too sure what the chances are of that happening, especially considering that there are over 5.8 million people who live in the entire Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

But your children will not listen to you.Just like you can tell them thats smoking is bad for you.And drugs is also basd for you.So theyre gonna hide behind a street corner and light up.Then hangout with their friends and smoke a joint.

So you are saying you can't handle your children and adapt to their tactics? That shouldn't be the problem of everybody else.

Re: Concerns on Members photo pics

Out of six (6) years online there has never been a problem with predators that I have been made aware of. Not to say it isn't possible, but this definitely wouldn't be the most efficient place to do so. MySpace, however, is an ideal place.

Your concerns are appreciated and partly addressed in the rules regarding personally identifiable information...but we can only go so far and must stay within reason.

Thanks.

You and I disagree on most things political, social and religious. But I can guarantee you we're on the same page in that regard!!!

I've never tried a cigarette, I've never tried drugs, and the only times I've tried alcohol, I told my parents before and after.

Yes, I am. Happily so. But, I'd be lucky to have a beer with such a kind individual as Crystal. If nothing else, maybe I could help keep the creeps away so she could enjoy her drink unmolested...
