Battery life is a little short, and the software support ends in about a year. Really wish I could keep this phone going for another 3 or 4.

You got a solution, or anything new to add to the conversation? Or are you just going to whine like everyone else?

Cause frankly, I don't have a fix for this. At least not one that is overly authoritarian, like controlling every piece of media that is available to children, and creating a guide for what characteristics of different role models should be emulated, and what should be avoided.

Maybe at a certain point, it is up to the individual to form their own set of desirable positive characteristics and seek to incorporate those traits into themselves. We can't (or really shouldn't) just thought and content police everything for every child. They have growth and developement that the must do for themselves, no one else can do it for them.

IDCHOPPER -Doesn't suck-

I really have no idea how we fix that on the internet. I guess volunteer for big brothers/big sisters if you can.

Maybe young men should build a role-model construct of good qualities they see rather than idolize a single patriarchal figure and seek to emulate them, including their flaws.

Speaking as someone who was fortunate to have a decent dad, and a decent step dad, who were radically different.

It's similar in a lot of states in the US. You aren't legally allowed to carry a knife for self defense, or as a weapon, but recently in my state, the laws were changed so that you can carry any size blade without a reason. So if you say "I carry a knife for defense" you'll get fined/arrested and your knife would be confiscated, but if you say "it's for cutting stuff" or nothing at all, thats legal.

IANAL. Read your local knife laws.

Honestly, I think we've surpassed the point where obvious trolling and alt-right propaganda are indistinguishable, and this comment proves it.

We used to have transportation that didn't need gas because horse, and didn't need expensive roads because horse, and never needed an oil change becuase horse, and they cost less because horse.

You can make the same claims about FGM. Minor inconsequential medical benefits should not be a defense for removing part of a person's genitals without consent.

Send me a link and I can get you to ~12 million and 1 listens.

Hmmm. Maybe I need better glasses, but I sure as hell doesn't look like I said anything about child development there.

You directly compared owning, customizing, and shooting a gun to the way a child would develop the ability to play a musical instrument.

Where?
