More "Nanny State" ranting

Oh, almighty government, protect us from stuff the big bad world out there. Keep us ignorant and helpless../.

Slashdot article here.

Lately it seems that I onmly post when I want to rant about shit. This is the latest. Australia (The land originally invaded by criminals and the unwanted from England has decided that they need to protect themselves from PORN! Oh my dog! The Labor Party has said that if they get control of the parlement, then they will enact laws that would require ISPs to filter out Porn and Violent content. Lets see, the multi billion dollar Porn industry is going to just sit back and not try to get around this filtering by changing how their websites work. They claim that they are doing this because the parents lack the know-how to install content filtering software on their PCs. Lets see, force the ISPs to protect the people who are too damn lazy to check up on their kids to see what kind of smut they are looking up today. Here's a fricken solution. If you are that stupid that you cannot install some of the easiest software in the world to install (Net Nanny, CyberSitter, etc...) then pay the teenager down the street $20 to install it. If you still are too stupid to do this, then put your PC in the livingroom! Don't let the kids on it unless you can supervise them! For dog's sake, don't give them a PC in their own rooms because they WILL find porn. Talk to your kids. Take interest in your own damn kids!


AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I agree, if you can't talk to your kids and supervise them yourself, then don't have them. I want to protect my kids from things not the government.

So stupid....
