If the internet is one of the only things "we can rely on in this day and age," you are very misinformed. The internet can and is a very big source of crime. Have you ever heard of girls who meet their supposed soulmate online, try to meet them in real life, and then disappear forever? It's more common than you think. Sure, there are success stories. There's also tragedies that come from a teen's overusage of the 'net.
18+ rules do not decrease a minor's rights in this world, especially if there are other alternatives. By alternatives, I mean other journalling sites, in this case. You don't have to come to Blurty. Go elsewhere if you have a problem with their rule.
You shouldn't be complaining, anyhow, because I believe that cheever has clearly said in this post that they will not be browsing through EA accounts looking for under-18 people. Be grateful, because they could just as well suspend you for violating the ToS.
There are rules in life, and rules are meant to be followed. It's not right to call people "insane" because they're agreeing with the rules. You're wrong for coming out and attacking the rule as unjust. It's not. If you have a problem with it, go somewhere else. Take your friends with you. I'm sure you'll be much happier elsewhere if you have such a huge problem with the 18+ rule over here.(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
