    If this bad parenting happens often enough to be a real problem, then whining into the wind that “no one has any common sense anymore,” or whatever you’re doing, isn’t a solution.

    of course thats not a solution. but what can you do? lawmakers wont make laws that make the parents responsible for their negligence. sometimes it’s not even intentional negligence, but that they don’t even know what should they do, and how can that be done

    I do blame the game a little because it’s a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

    that’s fair, I do too. I also blame all the commercial social networks, if I can call them that way

    You don’t want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine.

    just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved. normally you just show it and that’s it.

    That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

    if someone cannot properly configure their phones, then they need to be made liable for the consequences their negligence causes.

      You elect lawmakers.

      just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved.

      Fascinating.

      So, this is exactly the problem I have with you and the other person. It’s this contempt you have for your fellow people. It’s extremely selfish. This isn’t how you talk to your neighbors. You’re not getting invited to any cookouts or block parties with this attitude.

      If you and I can agree that children shouldn’t be in casinos, then they shouldn’t be allowed into the casino. I am open to your suggestions.
