The battle for community standards was lost long ago. Some of the comments from other FReepers are enlightening. There was a time when a majority could vote to restrict minors from purchasing obscene materials. It’s a complete sham to say parents are to blame, but that’s what you’ll hear from many posters. Parents cannot watch their minor children all of the time. Yet, some FReepers say society has no responsibility whatsoever to protect its children from filth as defined by a majority of voters. Now the SCOTUS is affirming the right of minors to go out and buy materials from adults who are more than willing to sell the products, the wishes of the parents notwithstanding. It just goes how far our morality has slipped over the decades. Keep in mind that such laws in NO way restrict the rights of ADULTS to obtain said obscene or violent materials.

I don’t understand why parents would want their children playing violent (really violent and violence against women) anyway. Of course, I don’t understand why parents permit their children to do a lot of things. Glad mine are grown.
