Should the Web be Censored?

I feel that the information on the web shouldn't be censored, the only reason for it to be censored is for the children but if their parents were smart then they would have set-up a parental control system for the Internet, so that they can control what their child is exposed to. But, if it had to be censored I would think it's because many children search the web for school or amusement and the web is just one of those factors that influence how the child turns out in the end. Many adults don't necessary allow their child to be involved with the type of languages they use on most websites. This kind of humor isn't appropriate, especially when you show a young girl who doesn't even look over the age of four, swearing. What message is that telling our children? But looking another way, if people don't approve then they can always get off the website. The funny thing about inappropriate web pages is that come parents won't allow their children to watch or listen to certain things on the web, but they allow themselves to, which makes no sense at all, it's like they have double standards.

it sucks to know that parents can be double standard because i have a motto that i can but you cannot. my oldest daughter has called me out on that time and time again and my answer is still i can and you cannot. with age comes experience and with experience comes authority especially if they belong to me and when i say that children that is exposed on the enternet to act like a drunk adult is a no no then its a no no. My opinion. haha!

yes, parents have the option of parental control, and some dont use them. they allow themselves to watch these kinds of clips. and i believe that the humor is appropriate, but for a certain kind of audience, definitely not children. if parents are concerned about what their child might be watching, they should block all websites that might have, to them, inappropriate behavior.
