I think it has alot to do with it. Children see things and they think it is cool and that is how they should act. It desensitizes them to death, sex, violence, and drugs. That is hard for parents to recover from. It should be controlled, but that is up to the parents to do.

Yes. There's no discipline in schools or at home, or to authorities (compared to other countries), there's almost too /much/ free speech (people suing everyone over the tiniest things), and too much blaming. Especially parents. Parents that always blame the government, school, media, etc. even though it's they're own fault they can't take care of their own kids.

curiosity and increasingly relaxed rules from parents......and more on display for them to see

Yeah. At least if they (ads) are adult-themed, vulgar or inflamatory. Chat rooms shouldn't be censored, however I think chatroom controllers should create chatrooms separately for adults and children, this way there is less interaction between them and thus less of a chance for pedophiles to contact children.

Yes, I think the government intrudes on our personal life way too much.  A parent could be arrested for spanking their child.  The Dept. of Human Services has become a threat to every parent.  Your kids can be taken away a lot easier these days.  My neighbor will lose her kids if she misses too many counseling appointments that were set up by DHS.  It's getting ridiculous.....

I still dont understand where are the parents of those underage children. \n\n   Nudity at that age should be private and should deserve respect and dignity not publicity. Sadly it becomes a business , I dont think is a moral or ethical business dealing with children that do have rights. Who is helping them fighting for their rights?\n\n    For other´s is art...thats the excuse or justification.

Freedom of speech is guaranteed by the US Constitution, most of the state Constitutions, and is considered a pretty good idea by much of Europe, Austrialia and other countries. \n\nThe basic position is that unless you plan on having a tyranny, or  unless a government is going to force everyone to believe the same thing, people need to be able to express what they think and discuss it to at least some degree.\n\n\nCensorship is based on the idea that some information and some discussions cause more harm than good. Parents censor what their children learn about. Governments censor classified data, usually to preserve the security and to defend the country. Courts censor private information about victims to make sure that stalkers and rapists don't get acccess to it. Corporations censor their employees through non-disclosure agreements to keep trade secrets from being leaked to competitors.\n\nThe basic concept of censorship is necessary. The problems arise when too much communication is restricted, or when ideas and expression are punished simply because someone in power doesn't like what is being expressed.

A combination of Abstinence and Safe sex. We can't  simply rely on schools to teach our kids  about sex...my parents avoided the issue and just assumed I would learn from school...I actually found out what really went on from accidently turning on a porn that was left in my VCR...so I think i woulda rather had my parents talk to me about it.

Cool? Absolutely Nothing!!! The government can't stop it, parents need to talk to their kids and educate them.

Huge debate there... not sure where to start.\n\nPros:\n-Educates the masses about STDs.\n-Educates the masses on reproduction and general knowledge of health issues and care for ones reproductive system.\n-Takes the stress off of the parents who may feel too embarrased to discuss with thier children.\n-Offers relief to those who wonder if the changes they are experiencing are "normal".\n-Helps remove the shame western cultures have towards sexuality.\n-Demystifies controversial topics like homosexuality.\n-Give a third party the opportunity to observe behaviors in the student that may suggest sexual abuse.\n-Educates student on safety issues.\n\ncons:\n-Does not (and should not) explain moral issues.  This is the sole responsibility of the parent, not the government.\n-Does not give the parent the decision of what time is best for thier child to be exposed to sexual topics.\n-Does not (and should not) cover religious issues. Also the sole responsibility of the parent.\n-Invites curiosity in the students which might lead to experimentation.\n-Introduces students to topics that parents may not approve of, like homosexuality.\n-Depending on the maturity and psychological state of the student, could create fear or anxiety.\n\nMy personal opinion, I am pro-education on all topics.  My only request is that the schools let me know the curriculum and agenda so that I can cover the topics with my child first.  She should understand our families moral and religious views before she is introduced the topic by a stranger or government employee.

yes.  I think parents need to start taking responsibility and monitor what their children are doing instead of expecting everyone else to do their job as a parent.  Also if you don't like a program or think it is unappropriate DON'T watch it!  It is common sense.  There are lots of things I don't like to watch so I don't.  It doesn't solve anything by complaining about it.

First, if these sites are censored, it might be a bad idea to proxy around those censorships.  Otherwise, you can try a proxy bypass site, in which you enter the web address, and the proxy site goes around the censorship somehow.  Try http://www.unipeak.com/

One would hope that parents have enough control over their children that in a public place they are aware of where their children are.\n\nOn one's own property, children's parental control tends to be a lot laxer, therefore the risk is greater.\n\nAnd yes, it DOES happen, my wife lost her 3 1/2 year old baby girl, she drowned in the pond, whilst the so called 'baby sitter' was watching televisio instead of watching the baby, whilst my wife was out at work.

Read 1984 by George Orwell.  The schools are dumbing down our children.  Check the spelling words for a high school senior.  The govt is turning our children against us.  Can't even spank your children anymore.  The list goes on and on.  The goal is total govt control, generation after generation is being groomed for that future.  Give it another 30 years.
