this. the problem with a lot of "think of the children" argument is that we often rule out the failure in whatever policing is needed for the general public.

the adults of today, albeit the younger ones, were kids growing up with post-IM world. the ones before that could speak with their friends from their homes instead of only meeting in person (due to telephones). we all are products of the environment we were raised in. but despite those learnings, it seems like we are not self-regulating as a society.

charity begins at home, and before bringing children in a conversation, we should think if we all are alright.
