The free write topic that stood out most to me was Internet censorship or “The Landlord”. I think that if you look hard enough, you can find virtually anything on the Internet, legal or not. But should people be taking time out of their busy schedule to put firewalls up on their computer for their children? Or should the other people be thinking about how their clips may affect people before they post them, or at least post them in places where children won’t be able to get to them?
Personally, I couldn’t help but think that the video clip was a bit humorous, but I’m a high school student that is graduating this year at the same time. By a lot of other people’s standards, this clip may be extremely offensive. If I were to go into the topic of morality in America, I could go on and on about how we are entertainment-wise compared to places in conservative Eastern Asia, but I wont.
My point is, even if people don’t like some of the things that are on the Internet, they will be there, and you should prepare to see them. Whether or not society is wrong is another discussion.
In my opinion, posting things like “The Landlord” in places that are easily accessed shouldn’t happen. The poster/s should take into consideration who will be able to see their content and post accordingly, or at least provide a warning of some sort.

I agree with have some sort of protection on the Internet. There should be some sort of restriction on these "inappropriate" sites so that only adults can access them. I think that children have way too much access to these types of things on the Internet which can hurt them in the long run. I also agree that the poster should be responsible for restricting the material. Some parents don't know a lot about computers and their kids can roam the Internet freely. In that case, there should some sort of automatic firewall that takes place. :)

So Mostly I agree with you on this one. but when you say that the people posting whatever it is that they are posting to put a warning or not to put it out there. that's where I have to disagree. Its like looking up and telling a cloud not to rain because you might get wet. it doesn't make any sense. There are two little things out in the World Called free will, and freedom of speech and people like to use them. If you dont like it, then put your earmuffs on and cover your eyes.
