New bill would allow parents to sue over what children watch...
 

WASHINGTON - A new bill introduced in Congress last month wants to allow parents to take the law into their own hands every time their children are exposed to material that they feel is objectionable for minors to see, hear or read.

The Parent?s Empowerment Act, introduced by Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-California) on April 28, would let minors, or parents on their behalf, sue producers of entertainment products that are deemed ?harmful to minors.?

?Each and every day, millions of children access the Internet and other interactive entertainment products,? said Congressman Hunter in a press release regarding the bill. ?As this number increases, more and more of our nation?s children are unexpectedly and tragically exposed to pornography. Like most Americans, I firmly believe that those responsible for the current threat of obscene material and its ill-effects should be punished for distributing such material to our children.?

Kill whoever wrote this bill, whoever sponsors it and everyone who supports it.

Thats a great idea.. parents shouldn't have to take any responsibility for their children at all.

Only after they were duly found guilty of crimes against freedom in a mock kangaroo court (without representation or right to due process) of course. We're a civilized country, after all.

fuck that.

Kill with Extreme Prejudice. Charles Brutal Bronson style :thumbsup

Another bill that takes away the responsibility of parenting... fuckin bullshit. Useless ass congress...

ever fucking retarded.

why is it so many people are born with part of their brains missing..

It is about time that parents started taking responsibility for thier own children. If Bobby is viewing porn on the Internet it isn't the websites fault, it is the dumbass parents who are not monitoring their childrens activities. The Internet is used far too often as a babysitter by parents.

I'm gonna start sueing parents for having loud abnoxious kids in resturants.

I'f I can't have a smoke while sipping a drink after dinner, I damn sure don't want some loud ass fucking kid screaming and throwing food in the resturant.

No smoking in public places no kids in public places...

What a crock of shit. That guy is a fucking idiot.

That's bad!

We should all be promoting another government on our sites. I'm not really into American government so someone please enlighten me if Kerry will be just as fucked up as Bush.

We should all be putting banners & advertising the importance of GETTING OUT TO VOTE & most importantly, point out the failures of this past government and what all the liberties they have and continue to remove from your own rights.

From the article--

I don't think kids can legally sign up to an ISP.

So the parent has to sign up(and usually purchase the computer in the first place), which should put the load on their shoulders, but, I guess anything can happen.

Watch out for 50000 lawsuits popping out of nowhere ...

Parents should be solely responsible for their children... too many parents use computers to "babysit" their children...

Chappelle Show & South Park would go under quick

That's a republican for ya. I don't think that Bill has a snowballs chance in Hell of becoming law, but ya never know what can happen if GW gets another 4 years.

Cool, then I can sue Quaker Oats for telling my kid that Cap'n Crunch is 'part of a complete breakfast'.

I want to sue the parents for allowing their children access to machines that would let them view my content. Think we can get this guy to help us out?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Good!
I'll finally have recourse against the fucking christians who polute my airwaves with their religious bullshit
I can finally go after sites and programs that attempt to god bless my children...

to me, religion is the most harmful force in society today.

i gotta move

He was voted into congress.

No worries, if Bush get's another term most of the Internet porn will be coming from this side of the pond.

This is nifty.. If I get sued, I can sue someone else to help counter fund me getting sued..

shouldn't these parents try to take a more active role in their children's lives instead of placing the blame on others?

yet another dumbass bill

ok thats just retarded

I saw Janet Jackson's boob on TV and it scarred me for life. :(

Oh, the injustice of it all

Vote vote vote I cant say it enough.

Exactly! But you know how people are, its easier to point the finger at another person than admitting their own fault.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh that will probably be next :)

Why cant parents watchh over there spawn if spyware companies can?

I'm with you Dammit. I'm just supposed to put up with little badly trained Johnny running around being an asshole. Sometimes, I'd just like to stick my leg out and kick them kids in the head. And then crack the parents for being stupid.


"awwww...aren't they cute....I just love them. they are so energetic!"

PLEASE!!!!!!

That's plain idiot.

My kid now knows what a double anal looks like!!!!

Now when I get my 25,000$ settlement, I am going to pay for therapy to earse it from his mind! And then the family is gonna take an exotic vacation to Brazil on me where billy can bask in the sun surrounded by hot topless babes and forget the trauma of a DPA.

How young is your kid?

lol, thats just retarded....
