When I was growing up there were 3 rules about the internet

1. Never believe anything you see, hear or read on the internet.

2. Never give out personal information of any kind.

3. Every girl that wanted to meet you on the internet was an FBI agent.

It seems like almost every problem we've had with the internet comes from breaking one of those three rules.

I wish/hope we could/can go back.

i can't remember who said it but there was a tagline for a while that went "The Internet, where the men are men, the women are men, and the teen girls are FBI agents".

It went: "The Internet: where the women are men, the men are boys, and the boys are FBI agents."
