What internet content label do you think should be the standard and promoted as such?

So there are two valid systems available (even if those using one of them appear to have generally got it wrong).

Can we have another poll asking whether the FSC should bother trying to reinvent the wheel?

As for locking my new puter down in kiddy mode and requiring me to make it suitable for my use... fuck that for a joke! I bought the fucking thing. Dumbing things down, to mollycoddle children and the dickheads who are apparently so fucking proud of the fact that their parenting skills leave a lot to be desired that they won't stop admitting it in public, is not the answer imo.

Yeah, but your an aussie Wazza. Youtr people have a dram or two of common sense left.

American parents have these teeny-tiny brains, and they can't do a thing without a giant federal beauracracy to help them. If they didn't have government help to wipe their butts they couldn't even take a shit on their own.

Actually, I think the solution isn't to make computer vendors sell every computer set to kid-safe, I only suggested that because I know it's exactly how our politicians think. If we say to the politicians "go ahead, sell everything kid safe and let the idiot adults figure out how to turn on the porn", they'll fucking love the power we are giving them. Then the lobbyists will bribe them to adopt some other more practical solution.

You see, in america nothing gets done without stroking politicians egos.
