Supervise your kids when they're online...

If you have yet to hear bout Maple Story, FYI, it's an online game.

Just a little story here...
If you wonder where that little kid of yours learn all those bad words (but you can't seem to find where are the sources) & they have access to internet, it's time for supervision, just to be on the safe side.

I won't bore you with little details but this is how some adults (not all ok?) treat kids in the game..
They call kids names - the simple one being dog.
Rudely trying to get rid of them - get lost - in all sort of languages.
When they can't get rid of the kid, it gets to this.. nyamah, fuk, diao & the likes of it.. You get the flow.. & that's when kids will (naively) think it's alright & pick this up.. & use them in their vocabs.. (I am trying to emphasize the outcome, although some may say things like parents should blablabla.. I know!)
Oh.. that's not the end.. they tell kids they (refering to the kid) do not have a mother to teach them manners. So THEY expect the kids to have manners? When THEY themselves do not have manners?? No PLEASE? But GET LOST? NYAMAH? FUK? Errr... Don't you think the kids are having more fun seeing you p*ssed off that they won't want to leave?

I hope adults like you know what you're doing. Must be thinking it's a real joy & fun to do that. Wait til a day when your kids come up to you & say those words in front of you. Or maybe you won't have one. What a killjoy.. =p

PS1: I know the person on the other end is an adult (I've my source)
PS2: Just fyi, I do not have any kids... yet.
