that's what I'm screaming.. if they do give internet to all these people they should restrict it. No social media sites, no youtube or other video sites, no ebay or amazon, only sites for researching and I may be ok with them looking at the news but not really. They shouldn't even get access to weather sites, they can listen to free FM or AM frequencies and wait for the weather reports

Full speed ahead at-home high speed Facebook-chatting, Mortal Kombat-playing, Empire and The Wire binge-watching and youtube surfing for street fights. Break out the cheese puffs and Little Debbies! It's on!!

YouTube isn't for research?!? I can't tell you the amount of crap I've learned off of YouTube........ when I'm not watching street fights!

The above video inspired one of our most important inventions. We realized that the spud gun without the spud would make a great laboratory shock tube.
