What the hell People?

This brings about the big picture to me. Why is the Gov wasting all this time an money on this 2257? Why cant they use the same money and time and manpower to go after the real problem, the CP and adult spammers? Just dont make sense to me. The CP's and spammers are still going to do what they do, with or without the 2257 crap. The only people this is really hurting is people like us, that I think for the most part, do a good job keeping minors out, ect. This has probably already been said before. And I dont know the new law down to the fine print.

I do think people that go for keywords that minors will hit, should be taken down, thats not right in my opinion. I also think there should'nt be hardcore on the warning page, but so many LL's and the likes dont seem to care.

Ronnie, you hit the nail on the head. 2257 doesn't target the bad guys. They never gave a shit about any laws anyway and upgrading 2257 isn't going to change a thing as far as they're concerned.

I cannot agree that the internet is for adults and not children. The internet is a global information and entertainment directory. I certainly don't want my children to stumble on porn (they're both at the age of finding even kissing on movies to be 'yucky'), but I don't consider porn to be harmful to their development. I was raised in a very sexually-aware environment and I'm somewhat stable. Knowledge of sex and nudity is healthy. I was the kid who was teaching his friends' little sisters the word orgy. But I was also the guy who didn't get laid until he was eighteen. I learned to fire an M-16 and was running to the cadence of 'kill a commie for mommy' before using my cock. How fucked is that?
