Since I feel I have to defend myself, here goes. (this refers to a comment I made in the Post your desktop thread, followed by some unrelated generalizations, also this is addressed to several statements in no particular order - if you feel annoyed by what I say, I'll happily make things a bit clearer, or maybe confirm your annoyance)
All I said was I find it a bit weird and am I the only one? I think *I* am the one that got words out in their (IE MY) mouth. I never said people who put pictures of their kids online are terrible parents. I never said they should be put away and should not be allowed to take care of their child. All I meant was it's not fair to just post (="publish") pictures of someone who cannot refuse. And no, it's not like walking on the street. And it's not like showing your kids off to your friends. And who says you know everyone who plays cantr all that well? And who says only people who play cantr read this forum? And who says it's not some loony fucker reading here, nothing to do at all with cantr and nothing to do all day but surfing the web? Maybe someone who knows a bit more about computers and the internet and finding out where people live, and also put together bits and pieces of other stuff that people write online (this is highly exaggerated and paranoid, but nonetheless it's not impossible and that is exactly my point).
Also, I'd be royally pissed off if I knew my parents would show pictures of me to people I don't know. Or people I do know and maybe don't like. Whom I don't want to know what I looked like as a child. And other people feel like that. Not everyone is a friend of the glorious internet. I am, but some of the possibilities really freak me out, to be perfectly honest. And no, I am not the only one.
And no, I don't know you. When I say people like you, I mean people who say "it's their call". That's how kids get beatings everyday. That's how kids starve to death. There are irresponsible parents out there, and just because it's "their" child, doesn't mean they can do whatever they want with it.
And you don't know me. So don't assume you know my logic, or what I'm thinking, if all I do is comment.
I probably forgot some stuff. But there. Pick whatever offends you.
PS. Do not make assumptions about people just by what you see of them online. (Or even in real life; I personally can't picture my sister, who's trying for a baby atm, being a good mom. But I might be wrong. Also, I think I might make a quite acceptable mom. Again, I might be wrong.) It's really just bits and pieces. I'm not sure whether I was one of the people you think should not "breed", but either way it's very disrespectful and hurtful.

Dunno why really, though my mum was from California, hence the 'Plain' accent, I grew up in South Carolina, hence the Southern accent, and I don't really know about the British one. Certainly don't have any family from there.
