internet should be considerd a public domain.

you don't let your kids walk around anywhere unsupervised. I don't know how many kids have internet in their rooms, i don't think it's very sensible. they should be on a family computer. a browser like Flock is very easy to use. You can click on the history tab and see all web pages that were visited on any given day. Parents should check out where their kids go.

Vigilence needs to be exercised. As far as i know, every web host and internet service provider must keep logs of all information, which i think is a good thing. what i think is bad is the general supervision most web sites use. IT's standard proticol to accept salacious conduct with teenagers. You look at places like myspace,. the forums are run by extreme left dictators. Extreme left says, if you're old enough to read, you're old enough for sex. That's where we need to address the situation. places like myspace are very selective on what can be said. vulgarity targeted at minors is accepted, sense, reason, logic and truth, is bullishly removed. That's a problem. they really don't think so. reasonably, it shouldn't be to hard to see it as a problem. how do you deal with that? I say it must be recognized, understood, and then it can be dealt with. Not seeing it as a problem, is the problem. This is evident on EVERY board i've seen, except one. which, unfortunately, was hacked and deleted by some scoundrel.
