I would enjoy the children and grandchildren of many users to see the comments their grandparents employ; it is incredibly disappointing.

Microcosm of a macrocosm.

I think a few granparents need to see what their grandkids are allowed to see and do online.

@NativePortlander1970 You can control what is allowed at your house but they usually get away with stuff while at a friend's house whos parents are lazy or trying to be the cool parents.
@Adrift We did that ourselves back in our youths, that's how we know what they do.

@NativePortlander1970 True, we never hung out at my house. Lol.

There are probably a few posts that might embarrass me, but I hope it's at the level to be more humanizing and not outright disgrace. I try to be kind and when I cannot be kind I try to be civil. And there are probably times when I am wrong about something, but I tend to lay out my reasoning such that reaching the wrong conclusion could be understandable and that I'm not just making shit up and sticking to it.

That said, there's no telling where the moral compass might be pointing in twenty years. I mean, hell, I am embarrassed by some of my own beliefs from twenty years ago.

I'm sure they're going to be connecting all our activities and they'll inherit it. Lucky I've got no kids lol
My grandchildren don't identify as users, the identifier participants is the term here
@ViciDraco I thank you for the response to my comment, that was an honest and greatly appreciate statement, I wish you a pleasant evening and a peaceful sleep

@pentagrammom have a lovely evening yourself.

I am trying to remain conscious that my generation was also not well understood by my elders. That the changes we sought were disparaged and fought tooth and nail by older folks. It really bothered me and I don't want to perpetuate the cycle. Plus I think both "the culture war" and the "generational warfare" are both greatly weakened if everyone is willing to show a little understanding and respect instead of constantly looking to be offended.

I may not be able to do much myself. But I can at least start with myself.
@ViciDraco thank you, I will enjoy my evening and self is all one can truly control,
That would be great, I would enjoy that myself
It's run through my mind as well.

Alas their kin just become regurgitated programmes of themselves
