The question comes down to this: Is it alright for the government to dictate what is viewable material for our nation's youth? Or is it the responsibility of our nation's parents to make that decision?
I side with the latter because I feel that families and individuals are the most apt to make the right personal decision, not some over-arching monster of a bureaucracy that we now call the US government.
We do not need the government to hand-feed us because once they have that ability they can just as easily shove poison down our throats. To anyone who supports such measures: Take a dose of personal responsibility.
So what? Microsoft has the right to do whatever they damn well please on their own property. Be that blocking access for specific groups or people or maligning their own code. No need to be angry, it's called competition, no holds barred.
