( IX ) As transcendental authority, I will celebrate the spirit of humanism by endorsing the humanistic values (peace, love, tranquillity, and equality) to the detriment of the corresponding vices (anger, hatred, prejudice, and belligerence).
How is there any way to program this into a robot when we, as humans, cannot even comprehend the meaning of peace, love, tranquility, and equality anymore?
somone enlighten me...:P
Being a 17 year old, I know how your kids might feel... I got an internet accessable box in my room when i was about 11 or 12. You aren't goign to stop them from looking at what they want to look at unless you use some program to stop them (there are MANY out there) Personally, myself and My brother always hated this, and of course, found ways to get around it. Personally, I don't think that trying to stop your kids from looking at porn sites or whatever a very good idea. Any way you try to control them, they are goign to find a way around it. By blocking your kids from things on the internet they just lose faith in you and it makes them mad and upset. Freedom on the internet is what they need. Yes, maybe you don't want your kids looking at certain things, but EVENTUALLY they are going to anyway. What is the point in censoring them from things that they will find about no matter what? Personally, I think that having some rules is ok, but when you start limiting their freedom with the net it will just discorage them and cause rebellion against you.
I don't know what kind of household you run, but those are just my 2 cents.
