“Ever hear of family filters on the PC? My cable box has a password protected block channel feature. The same parent you are talking to should try those.”
The point is that parents shouldn’t have to expend money to block what doesn’t belong on “public” media anyway. As one poster said, it should be “hard” to find porn. Now the situation is that it is hard to avoid it. That just shouldn’t be. The 1st Ammendment was NEVER about protecting “adult” entertainment....that is a terrible perversion of “freedom of speech.”
So, the only entertainment that should be shown on television is G rated family programming? Where is hard core pornography being shown on the public airwaves?
Great idea. lets just run on the idea of blocking internet domains too....OPPPs, Obama already tried that one and it failed. How about it telling you what your kids should eat too? OPPPs,....Michel Obama..How about defining hate speech as pornography?
Simple rules : parenting is your responsibility. If you buy them a computer then do your job with them; don't demand the government be every ones parents to avoid responsibility.
Giving government the power to be your nanny is why we are here in the first place.
There’s no end to it.
I’d rather manage my own life for better or worse.
Why? When did self responsibility NOT become a conservative value? Not having a computer would solve the problem. Locking the computer with a password when/if kids are home alone costs nothing. The left continually argues that the government should take care of this or that so we don’t have to pay for it. Our children are ours. If it requires an extra expense, so be it. You can’t legislate morality, nor should you. That’s best left for the Taliban. You can TEACH values. Think about it...a government that can regulate what is viewed on the public Internet can decide who can be on the public airways as well. It’s a slippery slope. Besides, what do you do with porn that comes from other countries or whose servers reside outside of the US. Is he going to police the world?
