> I am a parent, and I am responsible for what my children see and hear.

RS> You think you are. In fact you arent.

> The internet is not for children.

RS> Fraid so. Just like say newspapers and TV are.

> The sooner people realise that the better.

RS> They wont, coz thats crap.

FH> So, what you are saying is that because in your
FH> opinion the internet is for children of all ages,

It aint my opinion Finn, its a FACT that the internet *IS* used by children
and will be more and more, just like TV and newspapers and books are.

So any raving on about the internet which just proclaims that
children should be banned forever it completely silly, it aint gunna
happen. Anymore than it ever could with books, TV or newspapers.

FH> that all traffic there should be to the lowest common denominator.

Nope, never said anything REMOTELY like that. I personally
think that it doesnt matter a damn if kids see even hard
core porn. There isnt the slightest evidence that it will
turn them into raging sex maniacs or something.

And I think the answer for those who dont want their kids to see
that sort of thing on the net is rather obvious, they should subscribe
to an ISP who chooses to provide a porn free subset of the net.

FH> That all traffic, whether it be messages, information or facts should
FH> be watered down to a point where the reverend Fred Viles 7 year old
FH> daughter could access it without harm to her little innocent soul.

Never said anything remotely like that either Finn.

FH> Rod, you are a great debater, but in this
FH> instance, you are full of crap and bullshit.

Finn, you are a pathetic debater when you cant even manage to
get right what I was actually saying and jump to conclusions about
that and make a complete and utter fool of yourself when you do.
