Peekaboo,

I have four points I would like to rebut: The importance of internet, the dangers present, the irrelevance of rules and the parents' oblivion.

Firstly, you claim that the internet is a valuable tool but you have failed to prove this and therefore it is a false statement based on nothing but your biased opinion: This point falls away.

Secondly, you have also claimed that the internet is safe. This is not true because on the internet it is very easy to hide one's identity and many people do, as evident cases like Gary Reed Blankenship, a 55 year old man who convinced younger children to share their information by persuading them and lying to them. These young children are more naive, no matter what their parents tell them, because of their age. This means that the dangers of the internet will find them more easily.

On another minor point, I would just like to say that obeying rules on the internet will not ensure the safety of children. For example, on Facebook there are no rules that force privacy settings etc..

In theory, parents are supposed to explain the dangers of the internet to children but children generally do not tell their parents when they go on the internet, so the parents would be oblivious and not find it necessary to warn the children. Also a lot of these dangers are not obvious, like I proved in my second point.

So because I've proven that the internet is not a valuable tool, there are many hidden dangers on the internet, obeying the internet rules does not ensure safety and lastly that parents are oblivious to what their children do, your entire argument falls away.

First we have to look at what a 'good relationship' is and how it can be achieved, and then if social networking can aid the achievement.

What is a good relationship? This is quite disputable, but logic deduces that a good relationship consists of two aspects:

Trust

Emotion

Now, how can these aspects be achieved?

Trust: Through inter-active conversations and face-to-face discussions.

Emotion: Intimacy with a person, eye contact and other types of body language.

Now, do social networking sites provide face-to-face interaction and intimacy? NO because there is no actual human contact online and sharing feelings with a computer screen is very different to real communication.

Therefore, a good relationship cannot be maintained via social networking sites.

First of all, scientifically an embryo is alive and our bill of rights say that we all have THE RIGHT TO LIFE. Therefore that right should speak for the embryo which cannot speak for itself.
