"Protecting" children from porn is a parent's job, not the government's. Why does everything have to be G rated?

""Protecting" children from porn is a parent's job, not the government's."

To me, that's the most conservative answer there is. Social conservatives need to understand that conservatism begins at the home. If we reduce the size and function of government while passing our values on to our children and enforcing our own discipline and morality at home, then the desired effect will come to pass without the need for unwanted government intrusion.

Nevermind my kids, I can't even protect ME!!!

I have to be on the internet, I have use e-mail. And there is no way to avoid an inbox stuffed with porn, beastiality and penis enlargement ads.

If someone approached me on the streets of Nashville and offered to let me watch a girl making out with barnyard animals, Tennessee culture would demand that I knock the man's teeth out. And every jury in Tennessee or the South for that matter would rule that was a reasonable response to an offensive situation.

You're right, we don't need the government to block these jerks. Just give us a way of knocking the spammer's teeth out and we will take care of it ourselves.
