I love how anytime someone tries to do the right thing it is clearly never enough - or not done quite according to random internet commenter's liking so they are de facto a shitty person.

Considering a lot of parents have almost no inclination as to what their kids are doing online - she is most certainly in the right…

It's like the theory about the Matrix movies that actually all of the characters are, themselves, computer programs/sentient robots who are undergoing training to better understand humans!

There are a lot of reasons someone could be a bully. I did it once in junior high. I was trying to impress my "friends," who I should not have been friends with. I made a shitty comment and have regretted it ever since. If she has been a bully for a while and continues to be one for a long time you may have a point.…

I graduated HS in '98, just a couple years after the internet was released upon the masses. We only had those basic Nokia phones with the face plates that really didn't do anything besides call out. I managed to escape the cyber bullying and I can't believe the shit I hear about what goes down now. Trolls are even…

They turn into bullies without their parents knowing because the parents aren't paying attention. We had a problem with a neighbor kid bullying my 8yo last year and when it got to the point that we had to talk to his parents about it, they were dumbfounded. No clue. BUT the signs were all there. He doesn't have many…

Being a non-parent, I could be way off base here, but based on online commenting culture in general, people say stuff online that the would never ever ever say to someone's face. Even on Jezebel there's been a lot of 'you're a dumb bitch' or 'if you could fucking read, you'd understand' type responses in the comment…

I have often discussed this with my husband, what is worse, having your kid bullied or having your kid be the bullier (and knowing you raised a bullier and bare responsibility for the behavior). Then I think about what is the best course of action to deal with both situations.

I think with a 13 year-old girl, it can be a self-esteem problem that might not manifest in a family setting. I know I was a pretty shitty girl in high school, but my family didn't see that. I know I cried to my mom about getting picked on, but at school, I did whatever I could to deflect that attention to other…

If the robot is willing to help me with dog/child-raising and split the rent, I see absolutely no downsides to this.

Yeah, actually a robot probably would seem to have very good conversational skills. The programs that are more successful at tricking people into thinking they're real people tend to do it by asking a lot of questions, offering vague agreement and support, and then even more questions. It would seem like he was just…

Which is why, yet again, even if a man sends you pictures of his penis, he is not your boyfriend unless you've met.

I always assume any internet boyfriend of mine is a robot. It's why I date on the internet to begin with.

Or you could purposefully have an internet significant other

I wouldn't mind having a robot boyfriend, as long as he comes with 10 different massage settings.

The question is whether a robot would have better conversation skills than some of the men I've dated.

I don't think you're giving Robot Love a chance, Erin.

This is so upsetting to me. People name their kids Jesus ALL THE TIME. how is this different? Also not everyone sees Jesus as the Messiah. Separation of Church and State. Does that even exist?

"...the religious name was earned by one person and "that one person is Jesus Christ."

Well, all the guys named Jesus down here in Arizona are going to be pretty upset. My friend Angel will also be ticked, as well as Charity, Ambrose, Elis/zabeth, Chastity, Christian, K/Christine/a, Hope, Faith, Dorothea, Garbriel/a, Joy, Adele and of course, Mary/Maria. Also, I cannot forget my colleague, Ms. Santa…

What's in a name anyway? This little guy's just fine with anything.
