Free Porn for All
Feds seek Google records in porn probe
I remember the days when the internet was just news and porn. That was back in the days of AOL 2.5. Now there is still a lot of porn, news, and other things that get in the way of both porn and news. Porn is the most profitable industry on the internet. Which mean that not only men, but women are looking at it as well. I am sure President Bush is looking at it as well.
It is funny to me that the Bush Administration is trying to find out how many Americans are searching for porn using google. Here is my answer: A LOT!! So now that the government has its data it can go on an try to limit our freedoms and the internet. I do not think that the SCOTUS will allow this at all. We complain about countries like China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia for limiting speech and freedom on the internet. But the US attempting stop us from looking porn makes this country as bad as those freedom sucking countries.
So I say look at sex all you want, and if you do not want your kids to look at porn, set limits on the computer, and do not let the Bush administration look at porn for you.

Brian says, "Quit whining. You have Skinimax, so you don't need Internet porn!"
Actually, what the government is trying to find out isn't how many people are looking for porn, though I'm sure that's coming. They want to know how many people are looking for other things and inadvertently running into porn. They want to prove that there is a need for a law that would require registration and an access code before viewing any online pornographic material, because it's otherwise too easy for kids to find porn.
I agree with Jon, though; this is the responsibility of parents. Blocking explicit sex and language (and violence, though that seems to be less of a priority for the prudes running the country) on the public airwaves I can understand; those just sort of come at you. But it's so much easier for everyone else in society to make this the responsibility of parents when it comes to cable and the internet, media where parents have the ability to control the access of their children.
I hope Google is successful in resisting this effort, if only because it will help run out the clock on this administration. Three more years!
And Brian: The stuff on Cinemax doesn't even compare to the filth you can find online. I'm sure Jon has needs beyond what a tame cable channel can offer...
Aren't the trying to do this to justify bringing back the Child Online Protection Act of 1998? That Clinton signed? The one referenced in his State of the Union on 1998, "We must give parents the tools they need to help protect their children from inappropriate material on the Internet. But we also must make sure that we protect the exploding global commercial potential of the Internet. We can do the kinds of things that we need to do and still protect our kids." Isn't that an interesting proposition, Bush fighting for a bill Clinton championed. This has to cause some folk to explode.
Gerken,
Let's say that you and Megan are really into internet porn. Then you have kids. There are tons of programs that protect children from unwanted websites, + Google has a safe search option that you can turn on and off. The point is, that is should not be the government’s responsibility to watch our kids. I do not want to type in some adult password when I want porn! You can go up to any newsstand in some Asian and European countries and just pull porn off the street. The kids in those countries are no more messed up than the kids in ours.
What the hell I didn't even argue with you this time!?!? Why don't you read what I type before you assume what I mean. I was just comenting on the fun circumstance of the GOP's favorite whipping boy and the Dems favorite whipping boy having thoughts on the same wavelength, nothing supporting or complaining. I thought with all your fancy book learning you might actually read what I post instead of painting me with the same brush everytime I post a dismissing it as gibberish. Because, maybe, just maybe you'd learn that I'm one of the biggest parent's responsibility advocates out there.
Gerken, I am not arguing with you, I was just using you and Megan as an example. I am sorry I hit a nerve about your internet porn addiction.
