1. Because females shop [for clothing] more than males stereotypically so they get more money charging females more. That would be my best guess.

2.

and parents need to make it easy for their teenage children to talk to them. Sit down with them and try their hardest to understand even if they don't understand what they're going through. That would help with all the troubled teens in the world nowadays.

That's just stupid.

So is that. Blaming video games and the like.
What are they, the Media Betterment Committee? (Reference to Library Wars. Love and War).

[MonkeyGirl18]

But if it were a book, it would probably get away with it.

[npixelz]

Books are blamed as well.

[MonkeyGirl18]

Yeah. True. But I don't see it happen as often.

[npixelz]

Yeah, that's true. I wish it didn't happen to anything, though.

We've seen people with, for lack of a better term, "weak minds" or "weak moral compasses" influenced by bad ideas from all mediums (art, books, movies, manga, video games, music, speeches, and the list is endless). It's kind of like the gun argument--is it the guns (medium/s) or is it the person?

I tend to think it's the person (banning everything is not possible), and that brings us to the question would more parenting or societal guidance have helped? Probably is a lot of cases, but not all. Some people are simply broken beyond being capable of living in society without extreme care. :/

Yeah, I agree as well.



Now, I've quoted you so that way you'll be more likely to come here and see this post quickly.
The reason is because I'm shamelessly promoting my newest game! (A-Z) If I Had A Million Dollars...! Please take a look!

[galled]

LOL, makes me think of the AUSTIN POWERS movies. Maybe a Billion might be take some thought. Some cars cost more than a million (not that I would spend that!).

[npixelz]

I haven't seen them, but I'll take your word for it. ^^
Yeah, a billion might be better, but the inspiration came from the song If I Had A Million Dollars, by The Bare Naked Ladies, so I had to name it that. ^^

[galled]

They were spoof James Bond movies. The evil super villain comes out of suspended animation from the 60's to present day and his evil plan is to hold the world hostage for, wait for it, one million dollars! His henchmen snicker.

[MonkeyGirl18]

Parenting is a HUGE part of the problem.

And society standards.

Morality seems to be nothing but a myth nowadays with all the crap happening.

Children need to be taught that to get rid of their fears and troubles, they need to look it in the eyes and let it know that they're stronger.

This is why I hate trigger warnings. I understand the need, but if they don't want that trigger to hold them back, they need to face that trigger. I face mg triggers every day. It might be slow progress at first, but i can tell it's helping me cope.

[npixelz]

I see! Ok!

Yeah, that's true. People need to face their fears head on. It's like how you can't keep running from your problems, you need to face them. It's the same kind of thing.

So This guy comes to McDonald's with his two boys and they are acting up, screaming. The older one being an ass and all the guy does is say "stop."

If it were me, I'd be like "if you two can't behave, we're not getting mcdonalds" and if they scream out to that, if just take them out the doors without a second word.

Like, you have to show who's boss and not be a pushover.

too bad they didn't do drive through and save everyone from having to listen to the scene.
