I don't understand why so many are against protecting children from the negative consequences and addictiveness of pornography, speaking as if though porn has fantastic and positive repercussions on our generation!

If you've got children, that's your job. It came with the decision of having sex and creating life.

As a rule, one sees what one wants to see. Generally speaking, one places one's own fears and beliefs into everyone else; it's called "projecting". What you fear in others is what you fear in yourself. What you believe you see in others is what you see in yourself. The people who blame some "addiction" to whatever are those who feel that addiction within themselves. They believe themselves to be "evil", therefore everyone else is.

How in the world can you consider 'protecting the children' to be more important that protecting our liberties.

[That's part of the problem, with more and more mothers working and not staying home with the kid(s) (with the father working too), there is not the level of supervision that was available 20-50 years ago. The availability of porn is much higher now as well. I think any tool that can be made readily available, should be utilized as we (parents) cannot be there 100% of the time. Public places like Internet Cafe's and Library's should be able to easily filter their traffic...

Just because you couldn't control the fire in your loins enough to keep from squeezing out rugrats doesn't mean the rest of us should be held accountable for your absentee parenting.

I hope you aren't referring to me... I take care of my kids and monitor their online activity, everything leaving my internet connection is logged and filtered.

So, now it's the government's job to babysit children which parents planned to have without supervision? I mean...I thought being with the child was part of good parent planning, or did I miss something?

I can understand state-provided access spots like Librarys using filters, but what's wrong with an internet cafe offering unfiltered broadband? Most consumers there aren't looking for kiddy-blocks.
