Hey, I'm no prude, but isn't the porn thing a little out of control here?

Used to be you had to have a friend who had access to his older brother's Playboys & Penthouses- now any average 13 year old has crazy access to CRAZY porn 24/7 via the internet...and amateur couples posting their sex vids by the thousands...now TV has to keep up makin' sex scenes a little more graphic & frequent...more & more public officials gettin' caught with hookers...speaking of hookers, those poor girls don't know what to wear anymore now that the teenage fashion industry has co-opted their look...
Welcome to Porn Planet....
Where will it end? What will be the long term effects? Do we WANT it to end?
My son was googling for pictures of baby chickens for a report last year, & before I knew it, he typed in "cute chicks pictures"...well, what came up had nothing to do with birds...

It certainly is out of control. It's all over the place, and extremely accessible. All it takes is lying about one's age and there one is, with access to... whatever. Yuk.
I have a 14 year old son. I am worried.

Its like anything else....
Yes, its out there.
Its probably not good.
But instead of trying to restrict it, teach your children not to look at it.
Raise them right, and this won't be a problem.

The internet has made hard core porn very accessible for anyone with an open internet connection. This means that if you are a parent with a computer with internet connection then you must become very adept at knowing how to restrict content and you must be very paranoid about it, especially if you have boys.
As for the hooker thing, that falls into that category of pseudo-degenerating society. Politicians always slept with hookers, they may be getting caught more now and that actually may be dissuading that kind of behavior.
I googled “preteen girl sex” once and everything that I pulled up was sex sites, most of them featuring underage girls. I expected that some of them would be like that, but I didn’t expect all of them. I had to go back and qualify my search with things like “-pedo” and “-nude” to get what I was looking for. The internet is inundated with this stuff to the point that it inhibits reasonable usage.
Nihil est incertius vulgo, nihil obscurius voluntate hominum, nihil fallacius ratione tota comitiorum.
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.

Just curious, Wulfenstar - do you have children yourself?
I am forever amazed at what mine can do, even though we do our level best to "raise them right." Kids are sneaky.

And the there was the time when dd was on steroids and very puffed up, so I went online for large-waisted clothes. You can imagine what girls + clothes + XXL brought up!

Actually I've been quite in favor of putting that content to a specific, blockable domain, like *.xxx for example.
It only makes sense, you got Gov sites filed under *.gov, schools under *.edu and such - so a sexually oriented business should be classed under it's own specific domain as well.
As to how to accomplish that - best path of action would be working through existing systems and providers and fining or banning violators, ICANN would be most helpful if approached properly.
But you cannot legislate morality, that leads down ugly roads and other than restricting that content to a domain suffix appropriate to it, I would take no other measure.
(For porn, mind you, which is consenting adults, illegal content of this nature is crime evidence, not free speech)
To all things, their proper place.

What about this: When I was in Jr. High, 'hot pants' were in, and the plentiful sight of the leg where the butt just starts drove me crazy.
But if I were a kid TODAY? Hooker-wear central. Pants so low that girls have to shave pubic hair that would otherwise be visible, the endless cleavage & push-up bras, the tight body stockings...Whoah, I'd be in my bunk every hour. How can we expect kids (boychilds) to even pay any attention in school with that kind of hormonal bombardment?
