Well hopefully a little public internet shaming will cause the clothes to go in drawers and on hangers so that the Enterprise sees proper use.

No problem ^_^ I always like to see numbers used correctly.

The one with the phaser for the launcher? And you use it as a laundry table?

Oh I can agree that someone who doesn't make an actual informed consent for their children are being bad parents. I just don't think it's anyone's place to try and enforce behaviors in parents that are not dangerous or damaging. I'm sure there are some who would argue that games are damaging but I'll have to agree to…

Here you are ^_^

HERESY!

I have to say I swing both ways on this. A good New York cheesecake plain and by itself with a cup of coffee.

The TL:DR is that focusing on the type of media and a subjective rating system does not in fact make allowing a child to consume media you judge them ready for 'negligent'.

I would like to pedantically point out that at one point Lobster was a 'garbage' fish only fit for the poor and for fishermen who couldn't sell them and couldn't afford to pass up eating them.

The report WhoKnowsMyOhs lists shows the math they use. Which leaves Iceberg Lettuce at an 18.28 which means that 100 kilocalories of lettuce has 18.28% of your daily vitamins. It does not directly address that 100 kc of Iceberg Lettuce is 1.5lbs of lettuce.

I think that the reference to lettuce being a crap empty food is referencing Iceberg Lettuce which is used extensively to add 'healthy' options to fast food menus and the like. It has an nutrient density on the list you provided of 18.28. That means in order to get 18.28% of your daily vitamins eating Iceberg lettuce…

They are using the revenue to improve choices. However there is a poor history of groups using Sin taxes to actually improve choices. I do hope the Navajo Nation can manage to make it work, but I'm not certain that it won't end up as you describe.

I don't think we should either. That's kind of my point. There is legally nothing stopping a child from going into a bookstore and buying it. There is nothing stopping a parent from letting them read it. So why should people be trying to push and enforce a subjective rating system on SOME media. The content should be…

Sobering thoughts for an article about a Shojo artist. ^_^ Now I'm sad and feeling old, I think I'll go read Dolly Kanon till I feel better.

We don't rate novels. So it isn't neglect to hand a child Fifty Shades of Grey. But it would be neglect to let them watch the movie. Or Silence of the Lambs or any number of violent, sexual, or otherwise disturbing works of fiction. Hell comic books still have ratings, so it could be neglect to let a child read…

But what about R movies? What about books with violent themes? Do we call it neglect when a 12yo reads 'Lord of the Flies'? Is it neglect for a 15yo to read Akira? Is it neglect if a 10yo watches 'Friday the 13th'?

Oh Heathers

I would sink that much time into Valkyria if I could get it to fragging load... it just sits on 'preparing to launch' for hours

(You have made me chuckle again at that sentence)

It really feels when I hear stuff like this it comes off as. Ohh guys can get off easy so who needs to do anything for them. That's as much crap as the guys who head for PIV and if their girl doesn't get off are like... well you got toys go finish up.
