How silly and naive of me; I was under the impression that to be religious, go to place of worship, bow the head, tap the four points, fall down on the floor and face somewhere, do the mumbling, sacrifice many worldly niceties and lifestyle to show good faith, and so on was to make you a really...

We've talked about this with our son a few times...people committing suicide over posts on the internet. I've even shown some nasty posts and private messages thrown at me from this site. He was a bit shocked, and I told him that these are the ones that weren't deleted by the moderators. The...

I respect your decision, and strength for being able to say NO. There is potential for problems just walking outside yer front door and crossing the road though, so cyber tanties are down the list for us in terms of life dangers - if it's managed.. I don't think it is harder; my wife and I...

Good idea. We have had two incidents this year with fighting, name-calling, swearing and generally being very badly behaved on our son's Ipod (he's 11). All kids concerned are actually pretty good kids and from decent homes and families, but give them a texting device and watch things...
