Bradenton, FL | ACLU? what do you expect As much as I am for right to free speech, I am all for porn filters for kids at libraries. Libraries are there to read and learn not to be a smut house. Schools are hooked to the internet, they use filters, is the ACLU going to say that's unconstitutional also??????????
Porn sites are legitimate, it's what we find objectional for small kids. Filters aren't perfect but the intent is there. If the filter was blocking a wrong site then the filter should be adjusted accordingly but the whole law should not be struck down because of it.
We want to keep our kids safe but when the tools are taken away to keep them safe, what does that say about our society? Trying to hunt down sites that prey on kids takes time and money but does not solve problem right now. Anyways if the state were to try and shutdown websites prying on kids you'll just have the ACLU front and center saying it's unconstitutional.
The ACLU doesn't help society, they are around for self interest. I'm sorry but I don't want my 9 year old looking at smut or anything I find objectional at a library cause the ACLU says she can. |

Without the ACLU there is a good chance you would not have been able to post this inane statement and there is a good chance that we might not be able to read it, because someone might find it unpleasant or disturbing. May I suggest that you study the citizenship exam immigrants have to take to qualify for naturalization as US citizens; you might learn a thing or two about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. |

kudos:4 | I sincerely doubt that the founding fathers would have approved of pornography in public establishments as falling under the umbrella of free speech.
Remember, free speech is not absolute. |

I agree but I don't want one single individual from the current administration deciding what is appropriate and what isn't. remember Ashcroft is so ashamed to have a penis he can't look at marble statues that are partially nude so he covers them with curtains. if this man feels shame from looking at a statue than this man should decide nothing. my morality is my business. by the way I don't think libraries should have porn. |

Adjusting the filters isn't as easy as it sounds. There are too many ISPs grouping users under blocks of public addys(like AOL). If you block the addy, you block everyone there. If IPV6 is implemented and every device and user gets its own ip, then that would be alot easier to do. |
