its not facist to try to stop kids from accessing porn
They are going to access it anyway
This. It's like, do these people think kids aren't interested in that stuff? Like, I remember getting an abstinence talk during my freshman year. I remember being told how awesome sex was, but also to wait. And even still, nearly everyone was fucking everyone else in my graduating class. Like, how willfully ignorant do you have to be to think that kids don't hook up?
Covering a kids ears when you swear like they don't already know more swear words than the parent does. When I was a kid, if there were no adults around we swore like fucking sailors.
wildly understated too..
like.. middle school kids today navigated mobile devices with ease when they were toddlers..
they're gonna know what a vpn is before they leave high school.
we're just better off addressing the issue head on than trying to band-aid it.. it won't work
Parents jobs. And TONS of ways to do it without punishing everyone and collecting PII.
Parents have proven they are not capable of managing it themselves.
Not the states problem. Also, much bigger issues than naked ladies on computer.
It is if the parents wont do anything about it.
Then spend a day or two in sex ed every year talking about responsible porn consumption. Jfc this isn’t rocket science.
We’re talking about boobs and penises here people. Chances are you have at least one of those. This is just penetration and masturbation in realistic and fantasy settings. This isn’t profane, this is nature.
The truly disgusting part of porn isn’t the sex.
Lolwut? So if my parents didn't do something for me, the state needs to pick us the slack? No. It's porn man, not jihad.
LMFAO we gonna do that for hungry kids too? Or are we just gonna cherry pick the shit the bible never said and go with "what this other guy, what's his name, whatever doesn't matter", said it on Facebook that one time?
You guys are fucking ludicrous with what you think the government should and shouldn't do. if you spent more time thinking about what you could achieve yourself and for the people around you, rather than what you think should be imposed on everyone else you may be surprised. I really hope you think about this because Jesus fucking Christ watching y'all think like this is exhausting.
So you think everyone should pay for the fact that you're a bad parent?
Edit: This user is probably just a troll who should be blocked/banned on sight. Their argument here today flies directly in the face of another moronic stance they displayed a week ago.
Bring in the military to feed my kids some vegetables.
Based on what?
Maybe grow the fuck up and stop depending on gummint to do shit for you. Bootstraps n shit, bruh.
Because, as much as I'd like to, I cant go into every family home and take away the kids' devices.
Cool. So let’s get all the guns out of any houses with minors.
guns are not as addictive as porn
So, you want to remove porn from every household in America because it can harm children... but not guns... because they can't? Get your head out of your ass, please.
I never said guns cant harm children
No, you just said porn needs to be regulated and guns don't. Pretty shit set of priorities in my book.
Putting age gates on the Internet is indeed pretty authoritarian though, and starting with porn is only the beginning
Not authoitarian at all. Its the bare minimum
It's absolutely authoritarian. You're an idiot if you think otherwise. I'm not even going to offer an argument, you're just stupid.
this is the textbook definition of government overreach, forcing everyone to play nanny state because republicans can't control their little shitlings internet use
the fact that you think for one second that this bullshit will stop kids from accessing porn demonstrates how clueless all these cromagnon chuds are about how the internet actually works.
Go look up what authoritarian means again
We need to do the same thing with any religious sites as well. Kids shouldn't be exposed to that crap without parental guidance either. It is however a massive waste of resources and time since kids are smarter than the idiots making the laws and will very very easily bypass this and laugh in the faces of the fascist fucks that think they're controlling people while watching whatever porn they want. Get fucked.
Religious sites are not porn.
Yea The clergy just rapes the kids instead
And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Bitches got their dad drunk and raped him till they got pregnant.
No porn in religion, my hairy ass. I could nut 5 times before I finish reading Genesis. God damn bible practically starts off as a collection of “Dear Penthouse” columns for wealthy literate men who liked wearing colorful gowns.
I wish I didn't watch porn as a kid, so I'm with you on this
I wish I had sex as a kid, but porn was a nice substitute.
That's something I hadn't thought about.
Don’t let your dreams just be dreams! Go out and find some kids and help them make their wish come true!
The world shouldn't have to pay because your parents sucked at their job and fucked you up, bro.
Ah you're right, my parents should have known about the dangers of porn in 1997. I'm also not fucked up, just feel as if I'd have been better without
Do... Do you think porn was a new-fangled thing in 1997?
No lol, but the Internet was
You're a grown-ass human being projecting your problems into the entirety of human society. That's pretty fucked up from where I stand.
Damn dude, sorry I knocked your hobby, don't take it too personally
So you're over here agreeing with someone who literally said they would walk into every home to confiscate anything that may allow access to porn if they could, but me calling you out for being a fascist shithead is just me taking it personally? Okay, yeah, sure buddy.
Well sorry man, you just seem to be getting bothered. I wanted some discussion since porn is kind of a problem for young kids these days. I don't think confiscating things is logical, I just think there should be stronger controls online, maybe closer to Japan. they make you login to your Google account to verify your age before showing search results with any porn. What they don't do is connect information on everyone entering every site... Obviously this isn't what North Carolina is doing, but I figured this was a forum where discussion was allowed. But i guess in the US you're either a hard-line liberal or hard-line conservative. Where my hard-line moderates at?
The world isn't made for children, where are their fucking parents?
Their parents are not doing a good enough job. Its time for the law to step in
funny-- people say the same thing about guns, but the reply is "NOOOOO but what about the LaW aBiDiNg CiTiZeNs"
That is the definition of an authoritarian position.
Yes, they should step in, and direct those parents not the rest of society that isn't a failure to their children. Maybe letting your children engage in pornographic material should be against the law, not the porn that any reasonable person can consume without involving children.
Maybe if you aren't fit to care for your children, you shouldn't be allowed to have them.
It's almost like conservatives refusing to teach their children to have a healthy relationship with sex (sexual health, importance of consent, etc) is fucking them up, and banning porn is a shitty attempted bandaid solution for their inability to properly raise their children
