Julie, I see you've added something to your post - or I didn't catch it last time I read it.

I want to add a few things here, since I'm sleepless in the desert:

First: When I say a 13 yr old is "primed and ready for sex", I mean exactly that. And it's true, for better or worse. I did not mean that they should just go ahead and have sex, since nature has primed and enabled them for it. Heaven forbid, to quote Paul. And I certainly did not mean to suggest that since they're primed and ready for motorcycles (which they are, even girls - I know of a young [age 20 or so] cyclist I can link you to on Facebook - she's a friend of mine from work, though not a friend on Facebook) that we should simply allow them free rein to jump on them and buzz off unguided.

I used to work at the hospital here in Havasu, as one of the head cooks and team leader on weekends. In the latter years of the 2000's - I'm thinking 2007 or so - a young boy was killed while riding his bicycle and was rushed to the ER, but to no avail. His body was handed around to loved ones who needed to spend that last few minutes with him. All I could do was listen to this story and wonder how I would handle that kind of thing, since I had two young boys at the time, both of whom loved their bikes, and the eldest of which was infatuated with anything motorized.

Second: If anyone here would like to suggest how we should limit free speech, I'm all ears, all attention. I sometimes worry to no end that my "free speech" has put someone somewhere in harm's way. This is a big site, and I know that many people read what we write here. We reach a lot of people - a small amount when you consider the vastness of the Internet, but a large enough amount to actually mean something significant.

Third: I need to have a thread I began in GT deleted, [No worries, Bill, I zapped it yesterday.--Julie]

Fourth: It might be a good idea to implement a better editing function. Perhaps not allow members to edit their posts indefinitely. Minds and hearts change, because we're an emotional lot, and so many threads are rendered useless by hyper-editing of posts. At most sites, the ability to edit a post is available for a limited time, sometimes as little as ten minutes. Of course admins and mods would be able to edit indefinitely anyway.

Sorry for rambling again. I will contact Alex and ask him a few questions soon.
