Is it possible to exist as an entity online and not know that FATAL exists?

Theres plenty of people who probably have a facebook but probably aren't any better at internets than this, so I'd have to ask for a better definition of online entity.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

Does anyone ever feel like we often socialize children in a way contrary with how we would expect an adult to act?

Well, we tend to teach them that sharing is good, but sharing things when you're an adult means huge fines and jailtime.
We tell them to be truthful, but adults are expected to keep secrets.

It's tragic, really. You don't want to expose them to how the world really works because it ruins their childhood. At the same time, raising them to be rules lawyers means they will probably enjoy more success when they inevitably grow up.

To be fair, we also tend to give them confusing and contradictory socialization. Such as "Make new friends! Don't judge people based on appearance! Be a Good Samaritan!" followed by "Beware of strangers!"

We also teach them not to steal and what it means to own something. I get your point, but this example is dumb dumb dumb. Most of it is hugely contradictory anyway.

Teach them one moral at a time, results may vary.

When I was little, I never understood the whole 'don't talk to strangers!' thing. How are you supposed to NOT be a loner without talking to people you don't know?

I was taught not to talk to adults I didn't know. Other kids was always fine, so that rule made sense to me.

I don't think you get my point at all, since you seem to think it has something to do with stealing. However, it seems you've made impressive progress on your attainment of adulthood socialization.
