Because books are something you purchase or borrow and are a matter of personal choice. They require thought, They are not on the public airwaves.
You do know that advocating one-size-fits-all standards for the entire country makes YOU look like a flaming liberal, right?
We do need a viable way to block pornography on the net. Any ideas?
...or are you just fine with kids watching it?
The only "one size fits all" I support is the freedom to read, watch or listen to any damn thing you like.
If you want to block pornography it's pretty easy: Just turn off the TV and the computer.
As I said, no one gives a shit what you watch or don't watch. No one gives a shit what you read. No one gives a shit who you screw.
People do give a shit what their children are subjected to.
I just pissed in your drinking water., If you don't like it, you can always go thirsty, right?
If you don't like the crap being broadcast into your home on public utilities, you can always become a hermit, right?
You don't give a shit what kind of crap kids are subjected to as long as it doesn't affect your freedom to watch the shit, right?
Good for you.
Here's a suggestion: Why don't you worry about YOUR kids and let the rest of us worry about ours. That's the American way.
