rockjock: I understand your concern. I myself have 4 children to raise and we have a couple of computers at home. But we cannot expect the city of Manila or the police to do the censoring for us. And I will never allow them to interfere with my family's affairs.
Parents have to be directly involved. It really doesn't matter if these joints serve beer, are liberal on pornography, allow gambling. If these establishments are closed down, we'll just see others cropping up all over the place, because the very families who should be guiding their children choose to have a hands-off policy. You don't have to play surrogate for other parents either. If anyone needs a spanking and deserves to go to jail, it should be the parents.
"It really doesn't matter if these joints serve beer, are liberal on pornography, allow gambling." ---> Talaga lang ha? Kung isa sa 4 na anak mo pumunta sa Computer Rental shop that servers beer, allows gambling, and browsing of porn sites gusto mo ba yun? Baka isa sa mga anak mo maging lasingero/lasingera o di naman kaya ay maging addict sa sugal at mabuntis o makabuntis. Ok ba sayo yun?
Nakakatawa ang mga sagot nyo. Iniisip ko tuloy kung isa sa inyo na pabor sa mga gawain na ganito ay talagan alam ang ginagawa ng (mga) anak nyo sa labas ng bahay. Masasabi ko lang base sa mga reply dito ay KARAMIHAN SA INYO AY BULAG SA KATOTOHANAN.
BOTTOM LINE: Hindi sa lahat ng oras nababantayan ng magulang ang kanilang mga anak. IT IS NOT ONLY THE PARENTS RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILD(REN) BUT ALSO THE SOCIETY'S REPONSIBILITY. Ang impluwensya sa mga anak ng mga kaibigan at mga establisimentong gaya ng Computer Cafes ay malaki s pagpaplaki at pagdidisiplina.
