So, according to newspaper (and I use the term “news” in it’s loosest sense) “the Sun”, this one child was deeply affected and emotionally scarred by porn in this article here.

Now, this article has me thinking back to Bill Bailey’s bit in his DVD “Part Troll” where he talks about people “Speaking as a mother” which is generally a catch all phrase to allow the uninformed to say anything they like and get away with is because “they have children”.

The article features a woman who was going through a rough patch with her husband (the article doesn’t say if they are still together… I would imagine not), and yet blames her child’s withdrawn attitude on other children and porn. No doctors or psychologists have really confirmed any of this shit, it’s just an entire article of one middle class moron’s yuppy moanings because her supposedly perfect offspring has been corrupted by all the luxuries they have uncaringly lavished upon them without control.

No no no no missus. Try looking closer to home for your child’s emotional issues. Charlie is now “cured” of porn apparently.  Is he really cured of porn… or is it that your matital problems have come to some kind of end for better or worse, reducing the stress on “poor” charlie?

More irritating is the papers idea that ISP’s in the UK are blocking the ability for people to block adult content. Or even should.

If it’s up to someone else to control childrens intake of stuff that’s deemed “bad for them” then maybe sweets should be taken of the shelves in supermarkets, eastenders and hollyoaks should be taken off the air etc….

No. It is the PARENTS responsibility to parent their child. You are providedd with the internet. That’s it. The internet. All of it. It’s up to YOU to set any restrictions on where your child does or does not go, and to watch your children to make sure they are doing as you say. Just like in the physical world really.

If you don’t know how to impliment network security, then learn. If you don’t want to learn, pay someone to do. If you can’t be bothered to do either of these things, disconnect the internet and stop using it.

It is nobody’s responsibility to tell your kids not to play in the road and not to wander off on their own. It is also nobody elses responsibility to then watch your children to make sure they are doing as you tell them.

Extrapolate for x.
