CIPA Before The Supreme Court

Posted by timothy on from the right-on-schedule dept.

Jim Tyre pointed out the excellent collection of links on censorware.net to coverage of yesterday's oral arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court about the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), as promised by this story last month. There's also a link to the place where transcripts of the oral arguments will show up about three weeks from now.

    Would you be happy having your children (if you have any) seeing people having sex on the street?

    I'd rather they see sex on the street than killings on the street. We don't prevent kids from seeing over 7,000 violent acts on TV by the time they're adults (including rape and murder).

    Actually, this (sex on the street) happened on time ... a couple parked their convertible, with the top down, in front of my sisters' place, and started screwing. It was lunch time, and my niece came in and told us about it. We went outside and looked, and the couple only a pair of socks between them.

    Was my niece traumatized? No, she couldn't stop laughing about it. I'm sure that if it had been a killing, it would have had a much worse effect.

    So what did we (the adults) do? Told them to get a motel room (after we stopped laughing).
