The Internet is not for kids Can't Post
Yeah, I said it. The Internet is NOT for kids. Really... It's not safe. It's like taking your kid, balling him up, and chucking him down a minefield like a bowling ball. Actually, I think that's safer than the Internet nowadays.

I guess you want me to back that up with some things. Sure! I have some for ya! It's personal experience, too!

Twat for Toddlers!
How about that? Ten year old Timmy can have his fill of tits and ass by clicking on the button that states that he's 18 or over. After that, he can have access to the All You Can Mentally Gorge Smut Buffet. Yes, very educational.

Gotta love our search engines!
Ever wanted to search for something for your research papers and got something TOTALLY different? Do an unfiltered search using Google for the word "Horse" and find the many many MANY alternate sites for Horses. At least we can sleep with the fact that little Timmy knows that humans CAN indeed mate with horses. As for the word filters, they're jokes. Come on, I've been doing searches for a research paper for birds, and I get a picture of someone flipping me the bird. Yeah, that's great! I found that the library, though old, is a much better source of getting information untainted by alternate lifestyle porn and horrid innuendo. God help you should your kid do a search for "Men" on HotBot.

Chatrooms and Forums, a great ****ing learning experience and way to make friends!
Isn't it great that the Internet is full of forums and chatrooms? Yeah, nothing like being able to learn every little swear word in the book on any language in the matter of two hours of chat a forums. Thanks to horrible word filters and really crappy administration, Little Timmy can curse and swear with the best of them. Always good to know when sending e-mails to Grandma or your pastor. What's also great is the treatment that the newcomer recieves in many of the chatrooms. Yes, nothing says "Welcome" like, "Suk mi cok, newb." to make you feel right at home. Also "Go slash your wrist" is another wonderful way of saying HI!

Welcome to Never-Intended-To-Happen Lane!
I love these organizations that encourage to get kids on their feet and out in the open to play and make these interactive GAMES that encourage the kids to stay on the site as long as possible. What the hell happened to pages that instruct kids on how to play new GAMES outdoors, or a safer way to play tackle football on the asphault? Okay, nevermind that, but you know what I mean. It's a site that's supposed to encourgae peope to play outside, not keep the kids stuck on the computers!

MOMMY I WANT A PLAYSTATION 3!
Kids LOVE pictures and flashy animations! What better way to get a kid's attention than to put a crapload of flashy piccies and animations! What better way to advertise your garbage to kids than to abuse the same thing that keeps kids entertained? After a few hours online on ad-laden sites (such as what kids sites are nowadays - check 'em out), your kid will also want whatever in the hell looks good on that site as well. Now that we have Suzie screaming for that new doll that she wants online, we can thank the assholes bombing the sites with ads for the added misery.

It's not dangerous, Lumpy the Moose does it, and he's a cartoon!
Yeah, kids like cartoons, and you know how kids love to imitate the Toon characters. What's so bad about that? Three words: Happy Tree Friends.

Anyway, feel FREE to argue against this and always remember to have fun while doing it!

Yeah....right. Whatever.




Anyway, I seem to agree with 90% of your posts in this forum. Including this one. I had internet access when I was, like, 10. The surprising thing is, I didn't even know was sex was until I was 11 or 12. The internet, TV, and other media nowadays is just polluting the mind of children. It's filling up those empty spaces that are supposed to be filled with school and intelligence.

Recently a young boy slashed at his brother with a knife and nearly killed him. It's not exactly known what motivated him to act so extremely in a simple fight between siblings, or how he even got the idea, but I'd put my money on TV.

And then there was silence.

But you could rewrite all of that to show how wonderful the Internet is for kids. Because, the Internet is everything, good and bad. That means that the human race itself is not good for kids. And it's not. It pollutes their minds. Friggin' humans.

Don't get me wrong, there ARE many many MANY good things about the Internet, but with the good things, are the subliminal bad things.

With the needed CD keys for your software comes the advertisements for porn and chances of catching some nasty bug.

With kid's sites for GAMES and learning, comes the 100,000 ads for McDonalds and whatever.

With chatrooms comes pedophiles.

If the kid's smart and knowledgable enough, he/she'll be able to avoid the bad things and jump into the good stuff only, but we're talking the first timer here.

Well-written and very true. Kids can get porn so easily it's scary, and sometimes amusing.

Re: [el nish] The Internet is not for kids [In reply to] Can't Post
I half agree.

Agree

The internet is a way to get porn and dirty pictures of horsies "doin it". Alot of sites can give viruses to idiots who click on ads or download unsafe programs. I have seen dating websites advertised on Runescape and other mostly child constructed GAMES. Porn, viruses, naughty horses, yes the internet is full of bad stuff.

Disagree

If somone needed to find something for a project they could just search it. Having open search engines like Google doesn't mean that it will automatically go to a pornographic picture. It could expand on the topic being searched for. Like say I was looking for Sir Francis Drake on a school report, it might say something about pirates or killing Spainiards, then I would be like "WOH! He was a pirate kinda guy? He killed Spainiards? So much knowledge I feel overwhelmed!". Also forums can help people too. I learned how to present valid reasoning into an argument instead of ranting on about random subjects. I met some cool people and got some computer based programs I wanted. Its all very useful.

There are bad aspects and good aspects.

Very true! However, Earth tends to enforce and watch the rules carefully. If you want to get into the strip joint to see T&A, you'll have to show the ID card to the burly man at the door. Online, all you have to do is click a button. Kids will never get booze in real life, due to the bartender refusing to serve 10 year olds (or whatever age under 16) or letting them in without a huge problem. Online, all you need is the ability to read, a credit card, and an alternate shipping address.

Kids aren't stupid, they're just ignorant (by that, I mean unknowing) to what can easily and immediatly corrupt them. Yeah, the internet is a nice place, but it's not child-safe.

Dear Death:
Yes, the internet IS a literal information superhighway, but nowadays, if you do a search for anything that could be taken for innuendo, you'll have to look at the last results pages for what you're really looking for, 'cause it's buried under 400,000 pages of other crap that you DON'T wanna know. Try it.

As for your search, I'm not too suprised as there isn't anything even closely sexually related. I'm glad that there are people who use the Internet to actually get information, though ^^

And yes, for those who know how to wield the power of the Internet, it is an all-you-can-gorge buffet of information, software, and other electronic goodies that you'll have a rough time getting elsewhere - it's where I got all my MAME ROM's ^^ I just love the oldskool GAMES that much.

Well, it's someone else's turn to talk, so I'll just get off a *SHOVE*

Re: [nadkicker69] The Internet is not for kids [In reply to] Can't Post
Once I was installing my antivirus (Bitdefender - paid for by awesome grammaw for 3 years), and it asked if I wanted Parental Controls, and I was like "Haha, no." Parental filters are so terribly stupid, they don't work.

They block valid websites, unblock porn sites, and won't stop me from routing through another site to get to the porn site.

The school's computer block I've gotten around (famously too. Dumbasses keep asking me "how to get around the firewall", as if I hacked it - I tell them to get their own PHP scripts and leave me the hell alone) is so crappy, I haven't even used the workaround to get to porn, I've only used it to access data I needed for a research project. I searched for 'Cold War'. The site I went to was blocked because it was 'Entertainment'. Went around the filter, and it was a website explaining the Cold War in detail, having all the information I needed to complete said project, even citing sources.

Filters are a joke. There is no alternative but parents watching their kids. I htink I got to porn when I was 10. Parents found out and grounded me off my computer for like 2 years (but my mom's manipulatable by tears, and at 10, those worked - I got to use it when my father wasn't around). Eventually I said "Aww, [Expletive Deleted] it." and got my own computer. Didn't get dial-up in my room for another year or so. But my life story isn't important.

The internet is a fantastic place to get all the information you need. Nothing is unobtainable. The beauty of hte internet is nearly all of it is accessible without traveling far and without paying much. That's why kids should still have access to the internet: It's a way for them to learn about their world. I made a future-career change because of the internet, and got encouragement for said future-career change because of it. As long as kids under 15 are monitored, the internet is fantastical.

Kids will learn every bad thing on the internet in realityland anyway. I've seen Elementary school kids who slipped in "adult language" into their conversation frequently, without the teachers punishing them. My psychology teacher was substituting once in an elementary school. A kid asked another kid "do you like Candy?" The other kid responded "[Expletive Deleted] yeah I like candy." These were kids in Kindergarden. Not a flinch from the other kid, but the teacher was in WTF mode.

Parents are much more harmful than the internet is, really.

The internet while being a dangrous place is childern safe its the responsibilty of the parents to caution there childern , or even but a parental control device on the comp to block certain sites, if thats done the internet is a pretty child friendly place and normally just cautioning ur childern will do it.Parents can also check their childs computer to see what sites they have been going to ,and if their child is going to innappropiate sites then the internet can be taken away.
