		burnte 4 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Study: Social media probably can't be fixed You're actually agreeing with me. I'm not blaming social media nor alcohol, and you are not blaming them as well. Regulation hasn't eliminated alcoholism or drunk driving, etc. We need to go back to the days of teaching kids that there are things in the world that are dangerous and prepare them for it, rather than trying to shield them from everything and launching them into the world totally unprepared but ideologically pure.

No, I'm not agreeing with you. Regulation hasn't eliminated the down sides of alcohol, but it has certainly helped.

Investing more in education is great, but you seem to think it should be everyone for themselves. I'd prefer systemic solutions to systemic problems.
