Part of the problem with filtering is how it's set to filtering. Net
nanny, and cybersitter, for instance, come preset as to what they filter,
and sites on pagan religions are included. Because of the moral issues
involved, the filters tend to get set to meet christian morals, although
not everyone who wants to keep their children sexually innocent also want
to keep their children christian. It should be possible to use filtering
software on your own computer and set the classes of sites it
filters. Personally, I think no software can substitute for
supervision. Don't let kids on the modem unless you are surfing with them,
moving along and discussing it with them. If you don't want to do that,
what the heck were you thinking when you started breeding? That's the
commitment breeding requires! I for one am fed up with living in a world
which is restricting me for the good of unsupervised children, having
untrained and unsupervised children run roughshod over my rights and
properties. The parents should be putting in the time and energy.
