while i have a few things to protect them from the evil pr0ns and bad things they could be looking for online, its almost more to protect my computers/ network from what they might bring in by going to those sites. i talk about this stuff regularly with all 3 of my kids, especially with them wanting to interact with their friends on dumbass sites like myspace. awareness goes much farther than locking them down, and mentioning it is all logged and emailed to me regularly is fairly effective as well.

Good point. But, I think this is a good reason to just put Ubuntu on their computers... :p

ya don't think girls would do the same? You should see some of the things my 20 yo daughter finds and draws. it would make her grandmother blush.

At 20 years old, we need pics, and statistics lean on her already having sex multiple times with multiple partners. I'm sure she knows just as much about the subject as you do. We're talking about rambunctious 12 year old kids on a quest to test their google searching ability.

She was doing this at twelve, too. I was just pointing out the OP fallacy that this was a boy thing.

And no, I'm not posting Pics of her for you pervs here. :laugh:

if you wont post pics, then dont bring it up, or we're calling shens.

pics or shens. to save your honor as a forum member, you must now post pics. kthxbye
