2. See 1.
3. See my post
4. A lot of family?s use their computers for gaming and that shouldn?t change in the near future. It?s stupid to say they shouldn?t use a computer for gaming and to stick to an Xbox. Still supervise them and this is no different than playing Xbox live.
5. You can?t stop them from getting e-mail, far too many free services. Also the high school I went to now requires an e-mail address (of child, as well as parent) for school updates and report card info.
So again, 75% of kids can be successfully governed by their parents and kept to a minimum of exposure to the horrors of the internet. 25% probably are either (a) to unruly for their parents and instead of looking up porn will be too busy fucking getting stds and/or getting pregnant or (b) to smart for their parents and will successfully find ways around filtering software as well as getting on computers from other sources. I think a 75/25 estimate is pretty accurate.
It is just simply unrealistic to say that everything in the world is the parent?s fault, even though the majority clearly is. My parents were both computer illiterate and thankfully during my time porn we had was good old fashioned playboy magazines. Porn on the internet took ages to download (man? VIVO technology introduced a whole new generation to digital porn! 40 hours for 2 minutes of porn hahaha).

I hope you are not a parent but you do sound defensive like you are one.
1. You missed the part where i said when a child is away from the home the parent doesn't have control. If it happens at the school t he school should be liable, etc... When the parents leave or are sleeping why can't they password protect the computer there has to be software that would allow them to lock the computer from going online or at worst take the damn model with them when they go to bed. LEts say you have alcohol in your house and your kids keep drinking it, what do you do? get rid of it or lock it in a cabinet ? lock up the pc same thing.
4. dont get me started on games, most games are so violent that kids shouldnt be playing them anyway. If they kids want to play games online they should be supervised any way to make sure they are not playing anything too violent.
If a parent can not control with the kid does in their own home they need to go take lessons on how to be a parent. Any reason why they can't is a poor excuse.
The govt is basically throwing the responsibility of raising these kids back on us because their parents are either to lazy or too stupid to do a good job, or they simply just dont give a shit.
