I am not against Internet porn. I don't care what you do in your own home, hey that's in your, uh, hands. I don't think it should be banned either, I just think that maybe we should all put our little tech savy heads together and think up some ways to make it just a smidge harder to come across.

Type almost anything into the image section of a search engine and oops!

I understand that porn is viewed in many different ways, and upsets many people. You can't help but upset someone when discussing this. If you are against it - you're closed minded. If you are for it - you are a pervert. I think that because everyone involved is not an adult (because after all, this argument stems from protecting the kids), there should be regulations.

I just think that there should be some sort of trip up so kids aren't bombarded with images for typing the wrong words into the computer, either on purpose or accident. Maybe some really good software or something.

I also think that parents should supervise their kids more. Put the computer someplace you can see, try the living room. Every kid will look at something stupid online if your not watching, it's just a kid thing. Just like they look up dirty words in the dictionary. Just make sure you're kids are safe until there are measures in place.

Bottom line, make some regulations, but don't take all the fun out of it.
