Response to Myths

MYTH 1 "the Internet is dangerous"

Well, I must say that about the soliciting sex, that I'm sure the Internet is no more dangerous than school or a dance. One thing I noted as important about this myth was and I quote: "when protection becomes prison." This is a really good statement. I do think the Internet is dangerous. I think so much misleading information is out there and young people are not good at sorting through the lies and truths. Heck, many adults get duped by the emails they receive or Youtube videos claiming outlandish things. That is why I think the Internet is dangerous. BUT, like any good thing, it is dangerous. Guns were good for hunting, but dangerous. Cars good for transport, but dangerous. Nuclear power good for electricity, but dangerous. I think most people will get what I mean. It isn't the technology or medium that is dangerous, but those that use it incorrectly or misuse it.

MYTH 3 "Boys are better at..."

I think I might actually disagree with this post. I've always been very firm in the fact that all people are different, but that men and women are different. Again this would only be a generalization with exceptions to the rules. But I think in general that men are women are definitely different. I'm not basing this on some study from some scientists, although they exist, but rather on personal experience. Men are more aggressive then women. I don't think that is debatable because it has a great deal to do with testosterone. So there are difference that are not created from the persons experience. Men and women have genetic differences. And if you believe in creationism or evolution you should accept that men and women have always held different roles in society with some exceptions. This is because we are programmed genetically to think differently, feel emotion differently, and learn differently. So yes, I think men and women in general are genetically better at different things.

Myth 4. “I’m too old to learn…”

Bunk. Total Bunk. Why anyone would believe this is beyond me. This doesn't make any sense at all. I feel no need to even give a response to this nonsense.
