“I can see both sides of this situation. Cellphone use is another topic that all people need to learn. It is a lesson that needs to be taught by their parents and schools. I believe it is a lesson that is as important as driving and other social behaviors. It is important use for safety reasons, but when to use them and how is as important as learning how and when to use a gun or automobile, and probably other things we just take for granted.”

“TRUMP =’s MAGA , non-Trump =’s Democratic control and non_MAGA. It’s time we the people bring back America”

“What is he even doing with a gun? I thought he was a felon. Trace the serial number back through the system.”

“No, they should not be held accountable unless gross negligence is determined.

Anyone going on an extreme adventure like this, or going into space, or exploring unreached places in the Amazon should only do so after being fully aware and accepting the dangers and risk of death.

This is different than riding a carnival ride at the local fair. You can’t keep people 100% safe 100% of the time. Besides, what sort of life would that be if that was the case? The only way to achieve near 100% safety is to put everyone in their own separate rubber rooms with no windows or doors…”

“I know my granddaughter went from being a happy, outdoors kid at 12 to being a moody, often hateful kid of 13 and I know some of these changes are just because she’s going into her teen years (I’m old but I remember how I was) but I believe some of her worst current traits are due to social media. Also, there is nothing for teenagers to do anymore. We had bowling alleys, public swimming pools, teenage “nightclubs”, arcades, etc. Their outside activities are so limited now and as we could wander in the woods and go swimming in the river, etc., now it’s dangerous to roam around in nature and we have polluted so many of our rivers, that is no longer a safe option. I remember being able to wander around, but when the streetlights came on, I knew I had better be home within 10-15 minutes or there were consequences. Parents can no longer spank their children when they are younger and we wonder “what happened”. I’m not talking about abusing them, but a good switch couldn’t hurt!”

“AI is not dangerous in or of/by itself but through the manipulation from nefarious individuals; governments; businesses; trade groups; self-acclaimed, though not always true, dot org-type public interest groups; AND, most importantly and dangerously by the high tech industry-controlled monopolistic social media control entities such as Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft Cloud phenomenon, and others, etc.”
