Is "contestation" really a word?

I think you're making that up.

I may be making it up, but the logic loop means you can't argue about it.

Oh, well then could you do me a personal favor and tell me I'll get laid this weekend? It's been too long.

Depends on how high your standards are.

Standards? I left those behind years ago.

I do require that she be female and have a pulse.

Nah, that's negotiable at this point, depending on the amount of alchohol available.

As to Catt's reference, I just purchased a spy cam on eBay. I'm not saying there's any relation here, though, that would be wrong.

So back on track, did anyone disagree with my statement of:
But here's the question I want answered: What kind of parent in their right mind thinks children should be given full, unrestricted use of the internet?

We were on-topic. I was giving a low-level demonstration.

But to give you a specific answer: a very good one or a very bad one, depending. If the kid's pretty bright and the parent has done a good job, then sending them out there on their own is a good learning experience and they are protected by their own self-worth and intelligence. But any regular kid out there like that is there because the parents are a) stupid, or b) negligent.

I've had unrestricted Internet access for 19 years.

Look what it did to me.
