While I agree with Ken that children ought not to see porn, I don't agree with the concept that it be kept hidden behind anything like XXX. To use the Video store analogy, it is generally another room or curtained off space of the entire store... It isn't unaccessible, something that anything like XXX has the distinct potential of becoming.

In a perfect world, sex wouldn't be considered dirty, in a perfect world people would all get along, but this isn't a perfect world, but it doesn't mean we can't try to make it one. Owning up to one's responsibility is one way, and adult sites should be adult labelled.

I can't stop the local hooligans from knocking on my door, I can warn them off, but it is up to the parents of those kids to discipline and control them, not me. To begin with I don't have that right. I can call the parents, call the Police, but I can't do anything more than warn them off. A website is not any different. If its objectionable for someone, they can either go away or if illegal, call the feds in. They have no right to force me to greater expense or to force it to be hidden and segregated from the rest of the Internet.

If parents care so much for protecting what little johnny or suzie see, then they need to park their asses next to them and watch.

If we want to make it a perfect world, giving in to some screaming nutjob who isn't doing their job as a parent isn't the answer. As much as I don't want kids reading or viewing my site, I'll be damned if I'll shut my doors simply to appease some parent who can't or won't control the actions of their offspring. It isn't my responsibility to go further than providing warning of what will be viewed.
