Plus as far I am aware pr0n is not illegal.

Please take a look at this web site for a Frontline episode concerning pornography. I believe you can watch the entire episode, if you want. Assuming you are an adult, look in the section about prosecuting porn and pay particular attention to the descriptions of what prosecutors would like to prosecute and bear in mind that this stuff is (A) being made and (B) can be found on the Inernet for free. Don't believe me? Again, if you are an adult, configure your browser to read Usenet newsgroups and read the names of the news groups starting with "alt.binaries.pictures". Assume that each group contains what it says it contains. If you are an adult and really want to look, you could just click on through. Just bear in mind that some of those images may be illegal and they may be downloaded to your computer when you look at them. Almost every ISP provides this service and the material is freely available.

A lot of people just don't realize how bad it is. The Frontline camera crew left the shoot for one pornagraphic movie because, even though it seemed consentual, they couldn't stomach what they were seeing. But the best anecdote comes from a friend who plays online computer games. After realizing he was talking with a 10 year-old, an adult friend commented that he needed to watch his language. The 10 year-old said it didn't matter. "Well wouldn't your mother be upset if she saw a bunch of curses on your computer screen." "Naaah. I'm more woried about her finding my porn collection." Yeah, that's good for kids. Not.

I am well versed in internet pornography and find most of it repellant. I have no desire to see feet, bound feet, "schize videos", slapping, rape, or young asian girls feet bound and raped. There are people in the world who do want to see this stuff, thus the HUGE industry behind it. So again I say, it ain't illegal. Sick, but not illegal. And lest we get even more off topic anyone involved in Child Pornography should be executed.

Filtering it just won't work. Again this is NOT something that needs a technilogical fix. This needs human monitoring.

What do you think the real problem here is? Do you think a 10 year old should be allowed all the unsupervised time it takes to download pr0n? Where are the parents in that house?

Which brings us to the real issue here. Be a responsible adult and don't go to the Library for your internet pr0n. And parent your children so they won't either.
