It has always amazed me that "we" (North American Society) seem to have
this bizarre belief that if a child were to see porn they would be
immediately victimized and harmed, because "obviously" if they see it.....
But then "we" can turn around and have no problem if a child watches
someone brutally killed on t.v. "Obviously" they know that it's only fake
and it won't harm them......

And it amazes me even more that "we" think the same thing in regards to
adults. Seeing pictures or movies of sexual activity will make you a
sick, horrible person, but watching graphic murder and violence has no
effect on anyone.

Some of us limit the porn AND the type of TV our kids see. I know the
difference between reality and 'entertainment' but child looking at VW pics
with me didn't. There is a huge question of what's appropriate here - that
wasn't.

No - life is all about what the porn links show - but I like to pick when
and where my child sees this junk. Mid day Sunday afternoon ain't it.
Certainly not with in-laws and outlaws there in the living room with me!

Let kids grow up a little first.

And there is a HUGE difference in seeing a naked woman or man (beach,
magazine, book) and hard core grinding with little warning on my computer
screen.

Doesn't matter - I'm creating a filter to hunt for words like porn and the
sender's address which will get quarantined immediately.

I don't care what it was - doesn't bother me at all - what bothers me is no
enough warning - is bawdy or is hard core sex?

See ya.
