I get all that. Nevertheless, there is a reason we have a drinking age. And there is a reason we are not complete anarchy. Heck, it's why we didn't allow poligamy and homosexual marriage.
There really are some things that a culture, to preserve itself, must control. This is one of them.
If parents then want to give access to pr0n to their children, they can overtly give them the password.
But I feel like I'm WAY too late with this. The horse is out of the barn.

The counter to that: In a closed society where everybodys guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

Thanks for the new tagline. Generations of Americans grew up understanding this. Based on some of the responses here, my generation may have been the last.
