He was exactly ON topic.
You're too 'blinded' (gee, shocker) to see that.

[Rob S.]

Yep for a country that says they enjoy their "freedom" so much they sure like to monitor each other a lot...lol

We're keeping an eye on you too, Canada.

Suzukian was completely off topic, not Baatfam. Just saying.

Think the biggest issue is the amount of personal information required to give to the social media companies to prove your child is of age, will also require you to give all your personal information to prove you are of age, plus you are the parent or guardian of the child who wants to join a social media platform.

What will that require. Some form of photo I'd, Copy of your social security form, passport, drivers licence, birth certificate, (yours and your child's), name address and phone no for verification.

I'm positive and have every confidence, a social media platform is going to look after and secure all that personal information and not take advantage of it to target you for their own financial gain. (Sarcasm)

Identity theft is an on the rise major problem today. Giving social media companies more of our personal information is just one hack away from total chaos

Do you have children. I raised my son, he is 23 years old. A certified genius. If he needs to go onto the computer and yank, I don't see that much different from finding a "Playboy" magazine when I was a kid. I do not consider the female form to pornography. I don't know what other kind of control, but what you post seems to be the path to what you signature reads.

Small children should be monitored by their parents. That's your answer. Any child who is old enough to know what is wrong is not a child (Oxymoron, I know), so you're trying to control people and suggesting the legislation that would lead us to tyranny.

Personally, I don't think this is the right venue for these trolling type of discussions. It seems to be tolerated, so bait your hook.

Your opinion, you're entitled to it. Everything needed to be known about you and anyone else of interest is already known. My experience with Homeland Security has taught me that. If you don't know this, you are living in an illusion. They even know you don't know how to spell "licence", it's "license". They know because I know.

"Your opinion and your entitled to it"

Phrase used when one doesn't agree with it and wants you to know they don't in a passive aggressive way
Pointing out a spelling mistake is another

Just my opinion

[Suzukian]

Just kidding about the spelling. For some reason, I do that with that particular word all the time. Actually, the phrase is a valid idiom. What you read into it is on you. I do not believe I was off topic. These trolling posts are exactly what they seem, and you took the bait.

[bccap]

They even know you don't know how to spell "licence", it's "license". They know because I know.

In that case both you and Homeland Security are incorrect .... It is " licence " I know because my ancestors didn't try to change the English language when they emigrated ......

[650Skull]

Your trolling. Can't even apologize for the false accusation..

My opinion was valid.

Funny how people scream about their rights and govt over each then roll over to get their tummy scratched when it comes to letting the govt control private business which will lessen personal rights and privacy.

With some luck,(not that nieve), US home security doesn't reach all the way down here. Of course I am on a US social media site so I know I have left a footprint

"It's "you're" not "your". You are using a contraction of you and are, "you're, as in "you are", Not "your", as in "Your dog".

Use spell check, I speak 3 languages, I find spell check helps me keep the languages correct, in spelling, pronunciation, and usage.

I don't even know what your opinion was. I just reread it. I was at first referring to your statement that I was off topic. I didn't agree.

Having read you "statement", you would put all that information on websites? Haven't you heard of "Identity Theft?. Hmmm?

(The hook set set, pulling him in) . Got to teach the young ones, preserve the language. Yes, you've (you have) been trolled.

This comes from a guy who knows 3 languages and can't spell licensed.

If you read my post that is the crux of my post.

But then I can't spell. Only know as many languages as I know......

I'm happy you have to to the realizations about yourself, you are now fulfilled. As Plato said once, "Know Thyself".

Seems to me this thread is about the small-government party nannying the adults of Utah.

[argonsagas]

The following simple exercise/practice has stood the test of time, having been used around the world for many, many, years. A great many people of all ages have found that it works well for them.
.

It works this way: just sit in silence, close your eyes as tight as you can and cover your ears with your hands.

That's it!

Try it for yourself.

Pretty soon you will feel self-assurance grow and it will tell you that all those bad things you previously saw or heard coming from so many places really mean nothing and there is no such thing as an opioid crisis.

[Suzukian]

There is no opiod crisis. It's a number created when the government combined all the people on legitimate Pain Management, with drug users, and people selling drugs criminally. You drank the Kool-Aid buddy. You are officially part of the problem.
