No. There is never a GOOD reason for censorship. But if adults are not sure they have taught younger people what they need to know to cope with the world, then I can see how they think they need it.
I disagree. Sex has a stronger emotional component than physical component. While I believe porn for adults is none of my business, porn with kids can have a lasting negative effect. It also normalizes extremely dangerous sexual practices.
Keep in mind too, dauguy that porn has a much greater effect on most men than it does on most women
Keep in mind that, like all primates, we are programmed to learn about sex visually.
How we REACT to that is a matter of teaching. Teaching that seeing sex is bad really screws people up. It is undoubtedly a component in the social structures that make America the world leader in sexual thrill killers.
sociopaths are created about 50% genetic predisposition. In Asia, the percentage of population that becomes sociopathic is less than 1%. Here it is 4%--and quite possible growing. Of the percentage of sociopaths, only a very very very few are sexual thrill killers.
And we are still programmed to learn about sex from watching. As are all primates.

Also, much of porn is not about seeing sex, it's about domination and degradation of women. There is also a lot of female on female sex that suggests that women should perform for men.

The schools can block specific sites but it is good for the kids to have access to the web. It is so funny to be talking about this. When I was in school no one ever heard of a PC. Our typewriters were manual and now I feel like I was part of the stone age. Things sure have changed is a retentively short time. Wonder what it will be like in another 40 years.

Now why would this comment be voted down? Anyway are you sure about email going away. I can't imagine this happening. Look at all of the advertisements, spam, and general usage. Why would they do away with it. But then look what has happened to the postal service.
Our local library has a system that works real well. Adults have a different library card number than children or teens. Since you can only access computers with a library card they limit sites depending on your age. Adults are not censored, but can not got to destructive sites. Teens can go to any site adults can except hard core porn. (It's sort of like modified safe-search on Google.) Children can only go to children's sites. Porn is not allowed on any screens where others can see. You are warned that any password you use is not private. It's a set of rules that makes sense to most.
Our school rules are way too restrictive.

Hello Jt. haha.

Perhaps. But if a child has been taught about sex and what is good and bad, they will take no harm from it.
But censorship will harm them--and us.

I had to laugh. You sounded like you were arguing that sexual thrill killers are caused by lack of porn while kids are still young.
How we react IS a matter of teaching (and character)
