  1. Comment - Verizon Launches Child Locator Service

    "Would you want your boss knowing everyplace you go, everywhere you go {omited unnecessary expliative}"

    No, but then again, my boss is not financially responsible for anything I do outside of work. Additionally, my boss as no moral and ethical responsibility to know what I am doing outside of work. However, as a parent i am financially, morally, and ethically responsible for what my child does.

    What you cannot or willnot understand is that this device makes it easier to give your child the freedom they need to grow without leaving them completely unprotected.

    And finally, when one must resort to explatives to make their point, then others tend to wonder about that person's intelligence.

    Look, Kids know what they are doing. But do you honestly think that girl thought that she could be raped, tortured, or killed. No, she didn't. Kids think they are invincible. Kids are impulsive, irrational, and think they know everything.

    How about this situation. A 16 year old girl on a date. Her date is driving. He drives her to a remote area she is not familar with. Her date pressures her to do something she is not comfortable with. She refuses and gets out of the car. She calls and says "I left my date because he tried XYZ and now I need a ride home." You Say, "Where are you?" She says, "I don't know." I bet money you would want this technology then.

    This is not about controlling kids. It is about providing a safety net.

    Yes, kids know what they are doing. However, kids do not always know the consequences of their actions. Kids do not always see the dangers of their actions.

    What about those children who are abducted. Are you saying it is always the parents fault? I bet if your child was abducted you would be wishing that your child had one of those phones.

    You see. I know that I cannot watch any child 24\7. Any parent who can say they watch their 24/7 is not allowing the child to grow. Children need freedom. NOT TOTAL FREEDOM. But the amount of freedom the parent deems the child can handle. With this freedom, the child will make mistakes. To grow you must make mistakes. You give the child enough information to make good decisions and then you let them free to make those decisions.

    This service provides the child with a net so that if caught in a situation they cannot handle they have the net. That is a parents job. To provide a net so that the mistake that the child will make is not irreparable.

  4. Comment - Net Neutrality Measure Fails in House

    I can always tell when someone is going to take an extreme stance on an issue. The post starts with "I am a Liberal" or "I am a Conservative" and "I know I am going to get flamed for this but..." And, we all know comes from behind Butts?

    I am neither a Conservative or a Liberal. Unless you ask a Conservative or a Liberal. Then I am a Liberal or a Conservative depending on who you are asking.

    What both tend to forget is that the True evil is the extreme of each. If you do not regulate then you get polluters and monopolies and fewer small businesses. If you regulate too much then you get higher prices, more fees, and fewer small businesses.

    So back to the topic at hand. At what point would you stop the Internet Providers from selling preferred bandwidth benefits? Would it be OK for company "X" to pay Internet provider "A" money to block content from company "Y" who is competing with "X"? Would it be OK for Apple to buy preferred bandwidth benefits from an Internet Provider so that Mac's have more bandwidth than IBM clones? Would it be fair for Microsoft to purchase extra bandwidth for everyone who purchases Vista?

    You see, the potential cost not regulating far exceeds the potential cost of the regulation. Therefore, this is one case where the government can help ensure that competition is maintained. Here, is a case where the regulation is actually better for the overall economy.
