informal poll for you guys. if you had to choose, is this place more like:

a) fantasia, from the neverending story
b) oz, from the wizard of oz
c) wherever the hell it was with the muppets and stuff, from labyrinth
d) wonderland, from alice in wonderland

[ The question might seem like a frivolous one, but the answers should actually be pretty informative, and it's way more fun than just asking people to describe what this place is really like. ]

School isn't 24 hours long.

And my phone has internet. Which can be used in school.

i'm sure your teachers love that.

does this network not have some kind of... parental filter or anything like that?

[ Or, he wonders, is he going to have to code one in himself? ]

I dunno. Does it?

[ Who puts parental filters on things anymore? ]

[ ....Sigh. Gonna have to code one himself, looks like. If there were one, it would have probably inconvenienced this kid enough at some point that he would be aware of it. ]

it's gonna, soon.

Why? Kids ought to know the same stuff too.

[ That's a whole moral debate that's above Cisco's head, and he's not about to get into it with this boy; he'll settle for humor: ]

if kids wanna know stuff [ Sure did type 'shit' and go back to replace it ] kids can learn how to hack like the rest of us did.

That's not fair. It's not like they teach that in school!

learning to do stuff on your own is more fun than school, anyway.

You still need someone to teach you. Not everything can be done on your own.

that's true. but it's also good to learn how to teach yourself, too.

you're not the only kid here, right? i mean if they've got a school they must have at least enough for a class or two.
