Online pornography to be blocked by default, British PM announces

Most households in the UK will have pornography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it, David Cameron has announced.
In addition, the prime minister said possessing online pornography depicting rape would become illegal in England and Wales - in line with Scotland.
Mr Cameron warned in a speech that access to online pornography was "corroding childhood".

Shouldn't it be porn is turned on until we call and have it turned off.
This is retarded, and you know Harper will queue this law right up.

What ever happened to parents doing their job?
Software is available and comes with many services.
You can password protect a computer and devices in a multitude of ways.

I am totally against my tax dollars being used for the government to become a Nanny state.
Soon all responsibility for children will be in the hands of the government and parents can just live it up with no worries.
Drug our kids, put them in daycares, leave them with babysitters.
When do parents have to take responsibility?
Why do tax payers have to pay for parents negligence and selfishness.

Everyone is using "Would someone please think of the children" to push their moral views ahead.
You don't like porn, you don't like your kids seeing porn, then you should block it yourself.

My parents were successful in keeping me from accessing most things they didn't want me to.
If you leave a kid alone with a computer and the internet and no protection or rules, what do you think will happen?
Sheltering children from everything does not prepare them from the real world.

Children should not be molested but why do they need to be hidden from sex or breasts?
Chances are they will be more vulnerable because they are all drugged and naive.

Parents need to start taking charge of their children and stop passing the buck.
In the end one child has no more rights than one adult, but they make think otherwise.

This isn't that much different than the old days.
If dad chose to leave his nudie magazines around without locking them up who was responsible if the kids get into them.
In the old days the parent was responsible.
How is the government or anyone else responsible if parents allow the playboys to be left unguarded.

So now if you phone and ask your provider to unblock you from porn, will you get added to some list of weirdos for the government to investigate further?
We need to take our stand on this one if it comes to Canada, hopefully it doesn't pass in the UK.
I doubt this would ever go thru in the USA, their porn is a huge right.

Thank God Vic Toews has gone!

Yes, the Con's would love to add this to their hidden agenda if it isn't already in there!

Old Vic'd have had to build another batch of new penitentiaries for all the evil pornographers he's so against!

I am totally against my tax dollars being used for the government to become a Nanny state.

Actually creating a "nanny-state" is more in the lines of a NDP or Fiberal government. Socialist governments tend to want control of people's lives in order to please the special interest groups who largely fund them (unions, radical "save the trees" groups etc.).

I don't think the porn industry has anything to worry about under a conservative government, unless it involves children.

This is exactly what they are doing by saying all children are corrupted by all porn always.
"Would someone PLEASE think of the children!"

Maybe they will call it "Porn Bullying"
Whoops, hopefully i didn't coin a new phrase.

Actually what I meant by "except when it involves children" I was referring to kiddy porn.

What about the children?

A Lawyer, a priest and a nun are taking a group of orphans on a charity cruise ship is sailing through the tropics. Suddenly, the ship hits some rocks and begins to sink. In a panic, everyone is rushing to the lifeboats. The Nun suddenly stops and proclaims, "Stop!! We must save the children." The lawyer looks at her and says, "Fuck the Kids". The priest answers, "You really think we have time".

My Dad showed me this in 2007

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking .

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a van or a pickup - loose - was always great fun.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!


We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .

We did not have Playstations, Nintendos, Xboxs, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no DVD/Blu-Ray movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits/legal from these accidents .

We played with worms(well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

Made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not poke out any eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

[Rockheart]

I don't think kids are actually allowed to play anymore.
One kid might win and make your kid feel bad.

Some kid my be dominant and considered a bully and have to go reform school.

What if the sun or a bug touches them OMG!

Imagine if they drank tap water while you were not looking.

They can't know about sex or anything adults do, that would be a travesty, even though it might help them understand what Uncle Jimmy is trying to do to them and steer clear of bad things because they are prepared for it.

Most of us came out of a pussy and drank milk from tits.
Yet we are not supposed to know about these things until we are 18.

Whether you are an adult or a child you have to live life.
Maybe we should just not allow kids to use computers and devices until they are 18.

Old fashioned cell phones still exist...
