The internet is fantastic.

Without the internet we'd still be living in the past. Would you REALLY want to walk down the street and mail every letter you want to send?

I think that anyone who says that the internet is useless is a bit of a hypocrite considering that this is an online forum.

Well, the internet is one spot where you can express yourself. This is the story why they make safe search. Not good for communication.

i wish to point out also that kids do not started of watchign porn and such uneducational stuffs from their friends but from the internet which in turn "educate" them on such things then they spread their "knowledge" to their friends.


Don't blame the internet for having porn, blame your friends that showed you that

and the internet rules with out it we would be nowhere

I wouldn't go that far. Is it a great technological advancement? Yes. Does it cause some horrible issues? Yes. The internet is a great thing if you know how to use it. There are many children who are warped into the internet and this is when a child gets molested. You can't blame it all on the parents. It is impossible for them to keep their eyes on the kids all the time.

But that's the parents fault don't just blame the net

remember the parents are the ones who buy their PC and Internet

they should have been aware of pedophiles from the start

That is why I said you can't blame it all on the parents. The parents are a part of the problem. The internet is the other part of the problem. I really do think parents should be more involved and watch what their kids do. However, with the economy, parents are working more. How could they possibly watch what they do when they are at work? I know there are programs but it still can be passed through.

Usually the parents always work when kids are at school

There are numerous programs to stop that kind of thing.

I don't think all the benefits of the internet should be discarded because of "Lol kids can see porn."

School has been around for much longer than parents working during the school hours, you know :P

The prevalence of pornography on the internet is symptomatic of two very fundamental things:

1) The inability of humans as a whole to control short-term reward-seeking behavior.

2) The consequences of cultural suppression of sexuality under a patriarchal regime.

I first saw pornography on an ad when I was at a game site. I HATE THAT AD. It ruined my life.

It is neither good nor bad. It is merely a reflection of all that we are, both the best and the worst that we can be. It is a microcasm, a world-within-a world.
