The radio broadcasts are intended to be listened to. Browsing the net in private to read or look at porn is not the same as being the operator of a radio station.

It is illegal to see things, in some situations. E.g., if you trespass or climb up a ladder and look in someone's window, you're invading privacy. This is why people can, and have, sued google for taking photos of their private property.
At least where I live, people have a right to a certain level of, and expectation of privacy in some situations. I'd argue, as most reasonable people would, that it applies to wifi.
Why does everyone sound like a bunch of irritable, dimmwitted grandpas in this thread? The problem with violence in schools is related to poverty, trash parents and single mom parenting, (most in prison were single-mom parented) along with lead and cadmium poisoning and poor nutrition. Lead correlates to criminality. Vitamins help.
You don't need to spank to teach though. Spanking teaches to use violence instead of remediation. If you were torturing animals and couldn't learn to stop, you shouldn't be in charge of animals. Duh.
If you ever watch the Super Nanny you see children are usually unruly because their parents are retards, spanking or not. And spanking isn't even used to gain control. Also I think it's what they feed them too. I find spanking is usually a sign of a stupid parent that's out of control. Typically what you see in poor ghetto families. And from the track record, I don't think we should use ghetto tactics to rear our children.
You don't know that, it's speculative. Actually, people who engage in fights are more likely to have lower brain serotonin levels, moreover some people I think are addicted to being aggressive or have high testosterone levels. Fighting doesn't solve any problems or lower testosterone levels, it may raise them, at that point you've already went into a toxic mode. People who do that are going to keep doing it. They need other skills for coping with stress and their rage.
The article is equally speculative too:
"When you're exposed to violence day in and day out, it loses its emotional impact on you," Huesmann said. "Once you're emotionally numb to violence, it's much easier to engage in violence."
Walsh says. "The real impact is in shaping norms, shaping attitude. As those gradually shift, the differences start to show up in behavior."

I tried tt and ecode, but they both didn't work, so I had to add spaces here and there to avoid slashdot braking the declarations. You can reformat it if you like.
(you need an extension to use a different CSS in Firefox? Unbelievable!)
If you're using Mozilla, a quick way to apply a style is with a bookmarklet.

It would seem that if I'm going to go to the trouble of reading and moderating comments that it would be only fair that I receive ample warning when I attempt to post a comment. Unless I'm wrong, it always seems that I'm told about it after I post, not during preview. This is an incredible waste of my time and energy and a disincentive for people to moderate.
If I'm wrong about this, then I apologize, But I want to see a warning during preview, not after post.
What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do.
