Won't someone think of the CHILDREN?!
I come bearing more Lede wank. Today, the Lede posts about how the kids of today are getting an eyeful of pr0n online:

It will probably come as no surprise to most Internet users that a new survey, published in the February issue of the journal Pediatrics (an abstract is available here), found that nearly half of all young people reported exposure, intentional or otherwise, to online pornography.

Forty-two percent of the 1,500 youngsters (ages 10 to 17) who were surveyed by telephone between March and June 2006 reported such exposure. Two-thirds of those who were exposed said the exposure was “unwanted,” according to the study; the exposure occurred most often when using file-sharing programs to download images.
The very first poster in the comment thread brings the wank:
This problem would be easy to solve if mom’s behaved like moms by taking proper care of their children. Children need close parental supervision, particularly maternal, all the way through high school. They don’t get it when mom’s off working full time and returning home so tired she just wants to chill out.
And they're off!
Wow Mark- You sure feel threatened by working women… “Beats me why women think having a career is such a big deal”… How stupid are you? Your question is the same a women asking men why we need to have a career? Why don’t you stay at home and take care of kids?
And that's just the beginning.

You know, there's this one book where this woman tells all these different profound anecdotes, and one of them is various quotes all along the same script of "Children today are disrespectful and unruly; in the olden days things were better, and the world's going to hell." And all of them are from the BCs.

I love that book so much.

Hee. I think that The 2,548 Best Things Anyone Ever Said has an entire section of quotes about how the world is going to hell from like... Ancient Greece.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for athority, theyallow disrespect for eders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children now are tyrants." -Socrates

I only quote because it's the beginning of the first chapter in Got Game, my new favorite book.

I love Socrates to pieces. His rant at the prosecutor in The Apology was a thing of beauty.
