Getting rid of every single free porn image and movie isnt going to hurt anyones wallet, in fact its going to do the exact opposite.

what lee said
but then there's always bittorrent, password trading sites, xtube, irc....
Yeah but that's a diffrent area, we're just talking about what we can personally do.
a good example is IRC I remember in 97 there was some guy named Deliverance or something and he had beta version of the new windoes 95 ect ect ect.
we'd need to stop thoese people in a very diffrent manner
The "we must protect the children" line is an old right wing conservative christian standby for a free pass to move their agenda forward.
Protecting children is a parents responsibility, it always has been, it always will be. Wether it's surfing porn on the home computer, chatting to strangers on the home computer, walking the streets at night, etc. It's a parents responsibility.
This is a very basic concept yet so many are getting brainwashed into believing that everything must be censored in the name of a childs innocence ~ very smart manipulation to forward the conservative christian agenda. They're always coming up with some new angle to shape society the way they see fit.

I disagree with this line. I don't think it's always used as some end all be all.

I agree here, however I think reasonable security is needed from a webmaster. If my son when he's older looks at porn in my home that IS my issue, most parents use the excuse of 'They are better with computers then me." well learn is what i say.
For home use I plan on running X Windows ect ect
However there are ALOT of webmasters that don't give a shit
Ya know once (more then once ) in 1998 someone got the bright idea to make their adult website pop up under searches like Disney ect ect ect
we're paying for it now.

Again it's almost as if your attacking Christian's or something.
It's both it starts in the home but ends with us.
i'm a webmaster who raised a son and helped raise a daughter. i feel strongly that it is a parent's responsibility to take care of their kids, and i felt that way many years before i was a webmaster.
no one can take care of my kids the way i want them cared for but me becauase no one has the same beliefs and desires for them that i do. i watched every cartoon before i let my son watch it, and that includes video games, too. i worked with him on his schoolwork. and in no way would i trust a body of people like any government to do what i think is right for him.
Here's the issue as I see it. The world at large, will come up with any excuse to put down what er do, we all agree there I would guess.
Yes it is a parents issue however everyone is going to look to us to do something about it.
so we should. out of the kindness of our hearts
I think no matter which way you slice this argument, you cant get away from the fact that parents should take more responsibility for what their kids are doing on the internet. I have two kids, mostly grown up now but when they were little, they had limited time on the computer and the monitor was always facing a main walkway in the house as well as kept in the family area. If the y were on a site they shouldnt have been, we pretty much knew about it.
I dont come from a computer background as such from growing up. However, even back then, I could get my hands on whatever porn I wanted, when ever I wanted it, and you now what? I still turned out ok. Im not a perv, psycho or anything of that nature because I looked at porn at an early age. in this country a few years ago, the government tried to make it law that every household had to have a filtering software on their family computers to make this country more 'surfer friendly' for our kids. It didnt become law.
Parents have a huge responsibility for their kids safety even when surfing the web and should stop blaming everybody else because their kids get sucked in by chat room phoneys. Its the world we live in and banning free sites (eventhough i really dont think they are a good thing) to take responsibility away from the parents, isnt the way to go. Why dont we ban everything that could be 'detrimental' to or kids safety? Needless to say there are some types of sites that should be banned, but thats a totally different argument.:humble:
Come on parents, grow up and stop bitching about stuff you cant really control and concentrate on what you can control, namely,what your kids are up to on the internet.
Thats my rant for the day cause its nearly over here...:bananacock:
