This is a very difficult topic, a double edge sword as it were. On the one hand, I agree that internet should not be censored. As a former member of the military, I fought for the rights of freedom of speech.
But as a parent, I do feel that there is some responsibility on my part to ensure that my children are not exposed to material that is not age appropriate. They are adults now and free to make their own choices.
The internet was a gift and free to all users. But that gift should not be abused. Government already interferes in my aspects of our lives that they didn't thirty, fifty, or even one hundred years ago because someone did not USE common sense. If only everyone was issued common sense like the military issues uniforms. Alas, that's only in a perfect world.
Responsible adults should be making the choices and those who are offended can simply click the mouse and move on. Or better yet, unplug the computer.
