Your comment would make some sense except for the fact that most of "the adults" -- guffaw -- are anonymous and wouldn't have the balls or the will to say in person a third of what they type. That's one thing Argentino and I agree on -- spineless anonymous comments are pseudo-bravado from a generation that's spent most of their lives stationed behind a keyboard for what they think is social interaction.

Anonymous "free speech" on the internet is like sex with a blow-up doll. It's the opposite of brave and all in your head. It's certainly not "adult."
Do you think that the anonymous nature of the internet is a feature or a bug?
I grew up with a holiday where you got to be anonymous.. They used to call it Halloween.
