But it is not YOUR place to tell me what my child can and cannot watch. I am the parent of my children, and I will make that decision, thank you very much.

If a parent wants his 4 year old child to watch hard-core porn, would that be all-right with you?

What is the alternative? Should government minders be in every home to be certain every parent conforms to minimum standards? I'd rather let the parent educate his 4-year old his way than the alternative.

Poor example; that activity would certainly constitute child endangerment.

Are you telling me that I am not in my rights to allow my 10 year-old to watch "The Shield" (certainly one of the most violent programs on television, with it's realistic and often gross depictions of violence and bad language - also arguably one of the best cop show in television history) with me in the room to discuss and explain the adult aspects of the program to him?

No it wouldn't. That's child abuse.

If a parent wants his 4 year old child to watch hard-core porn, would that be all-right with you?

I would frown upon it.

If the government checked in on you regularly to make sure you weren't showing your 4-year-old any hardcore porn, would that be alright with you?

and your point is ????

Your argument reminds me of the saying, "Do you still beat your wife?"

Have the Gov ban all porn to protect the children?

What else shall we ban to protect the children?

How else do we get the government involved in raising our children?

So, I assume you support the idea of parents giving up complete control of raising their children and letting the gov do it.
