I believe simple is best but I also believe the far right won’t accept something too simple. The arguments are too easy to make that if ratings are just for pornographers then why not just force pornographers to use AVS, which we all know does not work.

The w3c standard separates R rated type stuff from X rated type stuff. The R rated stuff includes the news companies that will be spreading the propaganda. If the proposal is made in a way that they also need to label content then they can’t be as harsh on just one type of content. After all, shouldn’t violence be controlled using an AVS as well?

The V-Chip was only needed in TVs because they don’t have any intelligence. Computers have an entire operating system in place so they have the intelligence to do everything the V-Chip can do.

I know that a simple tag is the easiest to use but stop thinking like a webmaster for a few minutes and start thinking like the far right. If you haven’t spent most of your life around them, don’t know the political mindset and understand how voters are manipulated start watching Fox News around 9:00 PM.

Remember that many of them grew up thinking a one legged pregnant black woman carrying a baby didn’t have the right to sit down if a healthy white man was standing. Here’s what runs through the minds even if it’s not running through the mouth.

“Pornographers are sinners and they’re not like us. The Constitution and Bill Of Rights doesn’t include sinners. They’re lucky that we don’t hang them. We need to make it impossible for pornography to be seen. This rating system is only designed for pornography so there’s no need to make it easy.”

A tag that’s too simple and only includes pornography will quickly be turned into an AVS requirement and probably the only acceptable technology for this will be patented by a law firm in Florida that happens to be governed by the 2012/2016 Presidential candidate.

Only when a proposal is made to rate content other then pornography do we stand a chance of freely rating content.
