Thread: Young People Posting from School

When I was in school I used to draw little planes on paper and fold the paper and make black dots to try to hit the planes. Kinda the same concept. I didn't pay attention then and I wouldn't pay attention now.

Threads like this keep me on line way more than I want to be!
When Al Gore invented the internet, he meant well and it has become the gospel to some . I think it is here to stay though.
Where can I find that porn stuff someone said is on computers?

Out of deference to your time online, I will voluntarily turn over my king. Ende

Here ya go guys. This toon's for you.

DD, your wanting us to pay your share of taxes because these young adults are using a fishing forum while at school? Correct? Didnt you post previously that you work for the DOD or a government agency or something of that nature? Kind of hypocritical to judge these guys for doing the same thing youre doing while on our clock.

I encourage you young guns to get an education and become as fluent as you can with computers and technology. Like I said before, it is what it is. You don't have to like it but you better learn it because someone else can and will.

FinChaser---Regarding that porn, I kind of got an idea of how old I really am when I was driving through Loxley yesterday and realized that I'd rather stop at the Massey Ferguson tractor place than the Adult Video store next door. It hurts.

Just keeping the thread on topic.

Not sure what you're talking about, but when I was on the DOD network, there was no internet as we know it. It involved 12 hours of sitting a computer terminal waiting for an ear shattering alarm to go off announcing incoming traffic. Copying that traffic -- Alpha, Charlie, Zulu, etc etc, getting it to the officer of the day and transmitting any reply that might be necessary. Between traffic, we were working on other things. Nothing hypocritical about it. I guarantee you, Uncle Sam got his day's work for a day's pay.

My last post on this thread.

Becoming fluent in the English language won’t hurt either. Some of the posts I have seen coming in via public school IP addresses show a lack of reading comprehension and failure to think before you type. Somebody said that computers will handle spelling for you; that feature must be disabled on school issued computers. Well, not just school computers!
Time spent on line on this forum or any other non-school assignment site during school hours is time taken away from getting an education. Last week of school, sure there is some dead time, but this has been going on for months. I can’t image why non-school work browsing is allowed on school owned computers.
I worked for a major corporation with thousands of employees, and I know from experience that they knew every move we made on company computers.
If the teachers are not providing a challenging curriculum that fills the day, somebody should be looking at the teacher’s ability to perform their job.
I’m done!

Did anyone else NOT get this? (catroon) Like, I don't get this...

Of course being ADD I was often distracted in school and probally still am.
Uhh, wife corrected me, I DEFINETELY still am ;-) LOL
