Should a 16yr old be allowed to have HIS OWN computer in his

I had an Apple ][ gs in my room at 16, but I paid for it... there were also no browsers at the time.

Then we rise no further, and everyone can go back to their caves.


Err.... no.

We can walk forward as fully realized people who have accepted and can deal with EVERY aspect of our lives intelligently without trying to shoot ourselves in the foot because we think our feet will take us to places that will corrupt us.

Abstinence is more virtuous than hypocritical moderation. That goes for any vices.

If everyone thought like that, the human race would be extinguished, or at the very least, miserable.

Someone who acknowledges there are certain aspects of their existence which may or may not be unsavory, but they don't let it dominate their life, while at the same time not hating themselves nor that aspect.

Just because you accept sixuality as part of your life doesn't make you a prosttute. There is no need to banish it from our thoughts, pretend it isn't there, or act like we are cavemen for allowing it to be there.

Finally someone I agree with, I never saw why people tried to demonise six as something sinful and bad that should be repressed and reluctantly used to keep the species going...six is not only good, but healthy and possibly the most natural thing in the world, so I see absolutely no valid reasons for it to be frowned upon, it just doesn't make any sense. I wish someone would explain the thought process behind that mindset in a way that makes sense, but I've yet to see that happen so I'm not holding out hope...

This thread looks like it has run its course and drifted far enough from the original topic that it is time to close and not make a continuation thread.
