Censureship is dangerous because it gives a government that has too much power, even more. Censorship is never the answer. Pariental supervision is the key.

My mother was a nurse that worked the swing shift in a county hospital. My father was dead. There was only myself and my sister who is a year and a half older. My mother always knew what we were doing, reading, watching on TV, what time we went to bed, if there were anything going on at school that she needed to know about. And when she told us not to do something, sometimes we'd try once, but after getting busted, which always happened, we never tried that same thing again. Yes, we learned about consequences. Did I mention she was a herion addict as well?

If parents monitored what their children were doing on the internet, there'd not be a problem.

The internet content or access does not need to be censored, parents need to be involved in what their children are doing on the net. I have no children. Is it reasonable or fair to restrict my usage because John and Susie down the street aren't doing their job as parents?
