Because porn promotes sexual desire. Kids have more than enough of
that without us giving them pornography. What parent out there can come
up with a good reason to give their kid access to porn?

I don't know about you, but I want to have sex when I when I see porno.
I have never had the desire to go out and kill when watching a horror movie.
Sure, there are whacko kids who will be more inclined to kill after watching
horror movies, but they are psychologically disturbed and they will kill
anyways. Kids who watch porno aren't abnormal in feeling sexual desire.
>Why do assume parents should "protect" their children from sex?
Because sex can be dangerous and result in a painful death. If adults don't
control themselves by taking basic precautions against STDs, why should we
expect a 12 year old to? There are sexual diseases that can't be prevented
by condoms (genital warts) and can't be cured. Teach your kid about that.
That is why parents should protect their children from sex. That's why
virtually every country has laws protecting children from sex.
I think kids have enough trouble concentrating on what they should be doing
(school, growing up) without having free access to porn.
And please don't suggest we bombard kids with porn and then tell them
"Don't do that till you are old enough."
No, I don't think sex or porn is 'bad', or that we should have V-chips or
other filtering. It is a parents responsibility to monitor what their kids
are doing.
p2p != child-endangerment
Lazy stupid parents = child-endangerment
