Trust me, Living in a rather scary town, Gangs needs to be higher on the list than self esteem issues.

If you capitalized the G in “Grammar” intentionally, you win five Internets.

First, you probably mean “inverse”, and second, that’s kind of the joke.

According to the mainstream news, I suppose it does, but back in my day (like… err… ten years ago?) it was still creepy old men in trenchcoats (or sequined vests and white glove[s]?) with offerings of candy, NES games, or Pokemon cards, as the internet proper didn’t really exist yet.

I find it morbidly hilarious that parents worry incessantly about internet predators when, statistically, they should be more worried about their own brothers/sisters.

Telling anyone constantly that they are great is a terrible idea. It makes them self-centered and think they’re better than they actually are. Reinforce good behavior, not arbitrarily. Jeez, I don’t even have a kid and I know that.

I read – based on colors – that the media thinks the gays are the biggest threat. Way too funny.

media says videogames, internet, and gangs are bad
media rarely reports bad parenting or selfesteem issues
The media is retarded, but still most people follow it. I’m sorry for taking such a philosophical approach but the media should report news, not its own opinion

That’s if they actually replied. Come to think of it, the Grammar would be slightly better as all of the actual reading and writing is done by their aides LOL.

The reason I capitalized Internet was because it looked so weird in lowercase for some reason.

Awesome. I think that comment was improved by the total lack of punctuation too.

Spoken like a true non-parent. And in fact, someone who has never dealt with kids before. Or even tried to lead a bunch of adults.

Get your sarcasm meter checked

By: HackerOnHacker

HackerOnHacker — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:15:37 +0000

My choice of the rainbow colors didn’t really have anything to do with the gays, but rather because I wanted the last color to be red and then have the others be, well, not red. I already used the red to yellow to white cycle on another graph, and besides, who doesn’t love rainbows?

As for misspelling “existent”, that was merely a slip-up on my part. Don’t pretend it doesn’t happen to you too. Normally I’m a very good speller, (trust me), but I’m just too used to the FireFox spellcheck, which doesn’t work in the graph builder.

Anyone who uses common sense knows that the biggest threats to America’s youth are as follows, 1 being the most threatening: 1.Poor Parenting 2. Street Gangs 3. low self esteem…

This is BS. It isn’t video games’ fault. If you think that a game is bad, don’t let your kid play it. Otherwise, you’re a bad parent looking for a scapegoat

By: Kendra

maybe he was implying that bad parenting can also lead to bad spelling, as well as much needed therapy lol

By: Points Giver

+6 points for the rainbow colors.

It’s so weird though, the submitter was all straightedge about capitalizing “Internet,” but can’t spell “existent.”

you speak in truthitudes! Keep em’ scared & stupid, that is how we will keep our audience. I’m remnded of the scene in “Scrooged” when Bill Murray is showing the trailer for the x-mas special he is promoting “The Day The Reindeer Died” and the commercial basically shows all the horrible things that could happen if you go outside instead of inside where it’s safe with your T.V.
