Let me be the first to say I am far from sainthood. I do believe that pornography and sexual exploitation is wrong. Any nation who justifies these things are on a downward spiral towards complete moral corruption. Which is where us adults come into play. It is our responsibility to teach our children right from wrong and possibly change the direction in which our society is currently going.
After saying that, let me add the flip-side of the coin.
It is NOT the government's responsibility to censor us in any form or fashion. Isn't freedom what we are, at this very moment, fighting to conserve? Yet we seem to take this right for granted much too often. We want to use it when it benefits our personal agendas, and at the same time ignore and cry out for censorship when someone gets offended.
As Americans, we need to uphold the Constitution. We can't pick it apart and choose only to agree with the parts the suit us at that moment for whatever given circumstance. That Constitution has held this country together, if we continue to pick it apart and fight to ammend all of our rights, we won't have any rights left, and that will surely lead to the decline and fall of this great empire.
Everything on the internet, both good and bad, represents the real world because it's real people putting these things up on the net. We can't filter our children from the real world, nor should we want to. We can only teach our children to follow the path of the righteous and hope that when their morals are questioned they remember the ways they were taught. It is inevitalble, our children, no matter how hard we try to protect them, are going to be faced with comprimising situations. We cannot shelter them, and our only hope of controlling the content that is available out there is by teaching our children good God-fearing ideals. Because our children really are our future and will decide what direction our society takes.
But wherever that path may lead, I hope we choose to value and uphold our constitutional rights.

Thankyou for letting me vent.
