1. I think you overreacted...

...imo.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

2. Cool story bro! nt

[Sheldon Cooper]

9. Seriously.

[Cooley Hurd]

12. Yes... that was my 1st reaction too.

...especially after this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023932559

3. nothing.

If he was never told not to watch it then a punishment is unfair.

4. give him back his xbox, ferchrissakes!

[Warpy]

5. Why not watch with him and point out the loaded language, the distortions,

and the outright lies that Pox specializes in? Why not explore with him just why he finds it so attractive, it's meant for paunchy, bitter old white men who are having a tough time dealing with retirement.

Chances are he's watching for the jiggly bottle blondes and whoosh noises.

I prefer ruining things for kids over banning them outright. It's how I was brought up, anyway.

18. This. He's just a kid figuring stuff out.

A little media education is good at this age.

Help him figure out what's propaganda, and what makes it propaganda.

He probably only DL'd the app for the sports stories anyhow.

6. ...because you are a good Dem, right?

Or this is how you think good Dems act?

Not sure of the need to share your over-the-top parenting style but okay...

I take my son's XBox away when he gets bad grades or mouths off. That's about it.

7. No just delete it.

[malaise]

11. Delete it but tell him why b/t

[arcane1]

14. Oh give me a freakin' break.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Oh come on...it totally sounds like something a liberal Dem would write.

Especially the secondary post about anxiety getting to him/her.

They do it so well, I can hardly tell.

[arcane1]

16. Indeed.

[Callmecrazy]

17. Destroy the XBox...

It's rotting his brain as bad as Fox news will. Make him get a paper route or something.

[Dreamer Tatum]

19. This didn't actually happen. nt
