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:
