Conroy just said on ABC's Lateline: "it's important that all Australians, not just young children, be protected from this material". From RC and X rated material? Why are Australians special? If this stuff does so much harm why aren't the Americans all totally disabled by this material? Are the hospitals full of people broken by watching porn? Show me the numbers.
Are we talking about teenagers 'accidentally' finding porn? Come now? Teenage boys don't accidentally find porn. They use accidentally as an excuse. They went looking for it. Parents who can't teach their teenagers about sex and porn shouldn't have kids. Parents who can't see this as an opportunity aren't good parents.
How many little kids have ever accidentally found porn? The parents out there need to be honest and get a computer that is only for the kids so that the kids don't see what Mum and Dad looked at to get the bed sports moving the night before.
This is Conroy and co. trying to foist their anti-sex, religious views onto everyone. I don't see any problem with adults looking at porn. A lot of porn is being made with respect for the actors. This old chestnut about how all women in porn are victims is a nonsense.
I don't want to just talk about not filtering the net. I want to talk about dismantling the stupid complaints driven attitude of the law makers. A few noisy wheels can have anything banned. I want to talk about dismantling censorship in Australia all together. People who are in a moral panic about porn don't have to watch it just like I don't have to do what ever they are doing. Mind your own business.
