If som...Firstly I agree with you about the parents. If some of them tried actually being parents and actually doing the job of parenting, then the kids wouldn’t see the porn. No kid of mine will be subjected to it in my house. Of course you have kids in other houses... but hey, we all saw porn before we were 16. Some of it was tame stuff, but others were stuff that other kids’ older brothers had got from Holland or Denmark or wherever... OK, it wasn’t as available as it is online. <br /><br />I don’t know what kind of porn they are referring to, but I don’t suppose that there was much that we couldn’t have got our hands on if we had wanted it. They make too much of a fuss about it. It must be done to please the blue rinse brigade that both parties chase for votes.... and of course the Daily Mail and the Sun.<br /><br />Butt out, I say. Why don’t they try to make their first priority the fact that people die of the cold every year in the UK because they are poor. That is much more important than little Johnny seeing porn when he’s 14.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-33039015167850510362010-12-19T15:39:48.410+00:002010-12-19T15:39:48.410+00:00The Internet filtering system at work bars many ap...The Internet filtering system at work bars many apparently innocuous sites as "pornographic". including my own blog :-(<br /><br />Would this be any betterCurmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3875365454966245098.post-36782619971822393802010-12-19T15:14:01.504+00:002010-12-19T15:14:01.504+00:00I am reminded of the very first episode of the Wes...I am reminded of the very first episode of the West Wing when John Van Dyke says to President Bartlet:<br />'If our children can buy pornography on any street corner for five dollars, isn't that too high a price to pay for free speech?'<br /><br />Bartlet replies 'No' and goes on to add:<br />'On the other hand I do think that five dollars is too high a price to pay for pornography.'<br /><br />All the government wants in place is a mechanism put in place for blocking content it may want to censor. Pornography is being used as the excuse. I'm only surprised they are asking ISPs how to do approach this instead of talking to their expert friends in Beijing.Autonomous Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486289897038432660noreply@blogger.com
