Online bullies

He has issues !

But let's not lose sight of main topic. I wrestled with my conscience with my kids and FB. Like anything in life parental guidance on how life works is essential. Sympathies with OBL and all teachers. Technology is partly to blame for de-construction of family life. Here in HK I see adults actively neglecting their kids who clearly want attention as getting to the next level on Candy Crush is clearly more important.

Parents should be licensed before allowing to breed. I say that only half in jest.

Tone what happens if one of your kids turns out to be gay? Serious question.

Like anything in life make the deterrent strong and enforceable. I actually see online bullying as a worse mental crime than most other forms. Out here in HK you could quite easily enforce registration by the use of ID card access only - wouldn't totally stop it but if the genuine ID owner also tried to log in you'd pick up the fraudsters. Sadly the PC brigade don't get ID cards. There is ZERO downside with them.

Er, cost?

Also why not just use passports?

I'll keep an eye out for this Yorkshrie Blue, he sounds a dodgy character.

Toughie. Knee jerk I'd shout the house down and ask serious questions on where I'd failed in life. Much as some on here might find disagreeable I have a massive problem with the whole gay issue. I've stated my views enough times on here but in simple terms what the eye doesn't see ..... And this will upset people. Gays do not, in my book，have any rights when it comes to marriage and kids which should be the preserve of heterosexual procreation. Unfortunately it is far too easy to get married these days so marriage in itself has already lost its meaning. Do I actually care if this upsets people? Genuinely not. I respect the rights of others to disagree

Then I'd go away and evaluate but I have a real problem with this question !

Yes I'm dead serious. Been operating under one for 18 months and it governs everything I do including fast track passport control out of and back into HK. Can't open a bank account , utilities or just about anything you need to consider to run your life. In the UK you would have added ability to almost eradicate benefit fraud and control immigration if we were joined up about it. Seriously I'm seeing pros far outweighing cons all for something the size of a credit card. Yes there is a surveillance "issue" but the country would also be safer having these than not. I have nothing to hide and of the belief that gov does not need an ID card to surveil me if overly concerned. Also if everything is linked to a single ID card beurocracy decreases and taxes can be reduced or spent elsewhere.

Sounds like you would be happier in North Korea.

Cyber bullying has to be more common now because its far easier to bully someone now if you dont even have to do it to their face.

Its even easier for the "victim" to log off

Everyone knows bullies are cowards, the fact they can bully online without any recourse just allows them to do it with even less comeback..

Thats society in general. The justice system is so weak, nobody has any fear these days

It is, but I think it's human nature to be curious even if it's stuff you don't want to read.

Dunno about that mate. Maybe it's just me, but if someone is slagging me off, I'm more inclined to switch off/ignore :smiles:

Ha ha. Not that extreme BUT I much prefer the morals in this part of Asia than I do in the UK. Generalising is always dangerous but society and traditional family values have all but gone, not that I'm advocating Victorian behind the scenes values.

You're serious right?

I don't want an ID card. I already have a passport, a driving licence, an Oyster card, etc etc.

I don't want another layer of Government-controlled bureaucracy that can see what I have been doing and when. That is my business and not anyone else's.

Personally,I have no problem carrying around my Spanish ID card (which is in my Shrimpers Trust cardholder now as I write) but I always refuse to buy an Oyster card when I'm in London, (like Mick Jones of the Clash), as I don't want the government (or Big Brother)to know where I've been travellingto and from.

If you really worried about "big brother" watching you then you would have an oyster card and give it to others to use on your behalf. Your mobile phone will show where you go anyway; but you could change sim cards and use multiple phones.
Only use cash, Wear a hat........false beard.............

Ah, but I don't have a mobile phone of my own.I borrow my wife's, or one of our daughters phones, if I need to make a call while I'm out and about.

Meanwhile,just to give a further example of the usefullness of ID cards.Yesterday I had to visit the casuality department at Beziers hospital.
My EII1 card doesn't have my snail mail/postal address on it.My Spanish ID card does.Comes in useful when you're dealing with dim hospital receptionists.:smile:
