Do you think its necessary for children to have a cell phone, and if so what age should they be.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 13, 2019:

Absolutely necessary? No. Useful? Yes. Cell phones are so ubiquitous that other means of calling home have nearly vanished. Phones also make it possible to track a child, when tracking is engaged. Age - going to vary by what parents want and a child's level of responsibility. I would say around middle school when kids are more likely to be left alone or with friends only.

I've got some long time, not to often pops up PTSD. Suffice to say, I can walk anywhere (pretty much) in the dark; I can sleep outdoors on pitch black nights and nothing. But, on occasion, at home, in bed, I wake up screaming. Never remember the why - very deep in psyche. Anyway, I leave a nightlight on or a light in the other room - I don't know why, but just a hint of ambient light and the nightmares don't come. Pretty rare last few years anyway.

US Women Soccer vs.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jul 9, 2019:

The men's team isn't bad. It is often top 10 in the world. By world standards it isn't great, or good enough to win the gold events. Soccer has historically not been a US sport, so to speak. Elite male athletes in the states make more money elsewhere like football (number 12 sport in the world). Thus, many athletes here go into other sports hoping for an elusive payday. With a lack of popular women's sports world-wide and in the US, soccer has risen, especially here. The best female athletes in the US are now funneled toward soccer (Or basketball, softball is suffering, but no one cares since the Olympics dropped it).

Beowulfsfriend comments on Jun 29, 2019:

Gay has nothing to do with it. Those people are idiots. And, honestly, not sure why it would matter to you. How old and how responsible is your son? Has he, or you, researched owning a snake? Has he witnessed a snake eat, and is he willing to do that? Larger snakes eat dead, unfrozen rats and birds, etc. Pitting in live animals can get the snake dead. Oh, and when feeding, the feeder has to hold and move the dead and well warmed creature - one can get bitten. I never had a snake; an old friend had a dozen or so. The easiest ones were water snakes in an aquarium. They hid above in fake plants and when hungry feed themselves goldfish. My friend wasn't gay, either.

Voter ID is a B.S. issue being used to disenfranchise POC. Make it easier for CITIZENS to get the legal identification then, fine. Don't pass a law then close ID centers or move them 30 miles away from folks who don't drive. And both of those things have happened. And, immigration, where to start???? Overhaul HB1 and student visas and hold companies and schools responsible. UNDERSTAND that the thousands of so called illegal immigrants arriving at the LEGAL ports of entry - aren't illegal. The US is a signatory of the world laws that allows people to show up and ask - and yes, we can say no. So, don't confuse illegal immigrants with those arriving legally now and seeking asylum (many from countries that we helped f' up). And, just for good measure, the wall: remember that walls keep people in as well as out (They actually do neither well) however, the stricter enforcement of border security in 94 stopped many migrants who would come and leave and so, they just stayed.
