They were raised by TV, we were raised by the internet; their parents hated them watching TV, ours hate us refreshing Facebook. It's just the natural progression of things. Some day, if we lot become less of nerds and more of awesome, will have kids whom we'll hate for spending all day linking their brains directly up to the internet 2.0 and think we're totally justified.

no fun...
no clubs.....
no sex.......
no jobs......

until i'm eighteen because some people are not mature enough at my age?
OK that seems fair.
Like I said, we on the Escapist seem to know better. I don't agree with the morons who think seeing a few cocks is bad for kids, but said morons run the world, so we have to act like it makes sense and work that way. So, our choices are ban children or ruin the internet.Kingcallum said:
Would you prefer a tamed, Disney internet for the rest of your life, or to go without it for a few years and have online freedom when you hit whatever arbitrary age at which you supposedly magically become an adult? If your answer is the former, what do you think your answer will be when you ARE over eighteen?
Well. It's really hard to restrict the Internet. If someone wants to get on- there'd be a way
besides that, though- it's the parents job to keep it in check

I'm sixteen seventeen, but have an entire, functioning brain. May I be included in this new internet?joshuaayt said:
Okay, seriously. Children shouldn't be banned, there's so many ways the internet is useful. Parents should just actually pay attention to kids... You know, parent them. I know, it's a weird idea huh? Give it a shot, it really works. If you pay so little attention to your kids that they can access porn, then you're doing it wrong. Stop blaming others.
im 15- very mature have a high IQ and a perfectly functioning brain- can i stay?
my opinion is pretty much this good commennts

(just kidding)
But yeah, notice now the child aimed websites advertised on TV(like toon town) say, "Ask your parents befroe going online" Holy fucking shit... They clearly place the responsibility for having the child use the internet responsibly directly on the parent, where it belongs.
People are STILL managing to miss the point? Holy shit.
To reiterate: we've established that yes, parents should be more involved, take responsibility, educate their children and themselves, etc etc etc. You can stop spamming it now. The point is, the people in charge don't agree and are going down the route of censorship instead. Since our options are censorship or censorship, the point was to discuss which type of censorship is least bad.

Don't ban us from the internet because some of us are tards. Judge us all on our maturity. I'm 14, yet I'm not constantly babbling about b00bies! or usin wors language evar. I can see where you're coming from, but I seriously oppose it because it won't work.
If you must do so though, just put like a maturity test or something.
