America, the spam pornographers to the world.

Feb 3, 2004 10:13PM PST

My sons' school complained about my refusing my children access to the Internet.

I refused the access until I'd gotten tools and controls in place, and an email ISP, that would stop the presentation of vaginas from unsolicited emails from the pornographers of USA.

Its taken well over 2 years to establish the needed systems to meet my criteria of protecting my youngsters, whilst they still had the ability to research sexuality etc.

I just cannot comprehend how its OK for porno magazines to be at a 2 year old's eye level in the local newsagent, yet Janet Jackson displaying a teat (or six, if she'd had them) has created such a storm of protest.

NT Exactly! This was my point in my "ironic" post. Thanks, Ed.

First of all, even the occasional porn spam that has gotten through hasn't displayed vaginas.

Secondly, you have a lot of nerve bitching about this when you seem to think everyone is just being prudish to react to the boobie incident. You have also bitched at those who oppose graphic sex education or abortion w/o parental permission for girls as young as 12. YOU have control, the parents who thought they could watch a nice game and perhaps get a little fun entertainmnet (and Aerosmith was far from fuddy dutty a few years back) on broadcast TV (not cable or satellite you pay for and can block selectively if you want or avoid all together) got essentially assaulted.

I highly doubt your kids need an email addy at school or that there aren't sufficient filters put in place. I wouldn't want if I had kids for them ot have free unfettered net access in school either.

Why don't you just take your boys to a production of the ****** Monologues and get the whole dang thing out of your system!
