As a parent I strongly dislike the idea that the electronics of today are an adequate substitute for a parent. I heard and saw the same arguments about TV's, VCR's and now video games and computers.

Kids who are brought up with these electronics, unsupervised, and unable to make moral choices about how to view and see them, suffer.

Yes, I know it's a reality for many parents today to think the government and everyone else makes sure everything is kid safe by the standards of the loudest, most righteous, and fundamentally irresponsible parents created by the self-indulgence of the sixties.

Sheesh. Computer access through the internet cannot be adequately made "kidsafe", any more than a video player is an adequate substitute for a babysitter. Information is amoral

Don't ask for better controls: ask for better parents. If you want to know more, google for the news about the failure of the last government attempt to set up a kid-safe domain.

In short--this a parent's job, not a programmers. I would not want LW deciding what my kids should see or think, no more than you would want me to decide for your kids. LW devs are not qualified to be parents to my kids, nor are you.

etc.
