Tainting the Future
I chose the Landlord prompt. I think that the Internet should be censored because there are so many people of different ages and different views out there in the world. Some people find it funny but some find it very offensive. I personally think that in a shallow light this is funny but when you look deeper into it, they are scarring that little girl for life. That might sound a bit dramatic, but the point is that their telling or teaching that kids those words is harmful. She will say it all the time now. In other areas of the Internet, it should be censored as well. An example is provocative pictures, these should not be able to be on the Internet where anyone can access it. Many kids use the Internet for entertainment and schoolwork so they shouldn't be tainted or tempted by this. They shouldn't even have to worry or deal with it. Do we really want to put this into our kid's minds?

I agree with some of what you're saying, but do you really think it's fair to censor material just because some people find it offensive? If you do that, you open up a world of leniency on constrictions that people can put on you. Some may find piercings and tattoos offensive, so should we have to cover them when we go out in public? The fact is people know what is is on the internet, and they can make a conscious choice to avoid certain sites, and supervise their children when they're online. There is definitely a lot of filth on the internet, but if we censor that, we're going to have to censor a lot of other important, or just plain funny things as well. That would completely go against America being a free country, and freedom of speech. Not to mention how b-o-r-i-n-g things would get :)... Just a thought.
I would love to agree with every aspect of your view because you have strong points that are very true
HOWEVER parents need to raise there children with respect for themselves and adults need to gain respect for themselves as well. No one is to blame but society as a whole. we have slowly told are men its okay to disrespect women along with it takes a short dress and a pound of makeup and plastic surgery to feel beautiful.
Now days schools monitor what kids can and cant look at with blockers and constant monitoring. And like Sylver said Parents need to raise children with respect for themselves. If you don't want children to access Cretan things then do something about it. Today's technology allows you to set things up like that. and also monitor what they are doing.
