Has anyone noticed that when you roll your mouse over any and all of the graphs, the tooltip reads "Harry Potter" ?
Harry Potter really is taking over the world one goo-graph at a time.
True,
But why would a student deserve a say on how his filers are setup?
Middle/High(school) students should have no reason to visit anything in the.xxx domain during school hours and on school machines. If it's research oriented, then special resources and access can be provided by a librairan.
No ordinary college is stupid enough to filter campus net connections. Those students do have a say, and it's called their tuition payment.
It's the responsability of the user to make sure that his or her filers are setup right. It's a sure-fire way to give Joe Normal a lesson on setting his firewall up properly.
As for people being uncomfortable or embarrassed to visit a.xxx site in public, I don't buy it. Let's say for example that Viagra is put into a.xxx, if it were me, i'd be more embarrassed about the big giant Viagra logo on the top of the screen than I would the little.xxx appendage on the end of the URL.
The government forcing sexually related sites to the.xxx domain is in no way shape or form similar to china's continuing love affair with internet control and censorship.
It's one thing to categorize a site based on it's content, and another to pick and choose what shall be see and what shall not because it suits you.
People said the same thing about rating TV shows when the ratings rules came about in the US. It's funny how it hasn't effected the way we watch television at all.

"..the other is a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on.' This kid is totally 1337, he's using DOS!

I'm forced to remember one of my favorite quotes...
"Blaming guns for Columbine is like blaming Rosie O'Donnell for being fat."
This garbage of blaming antisocial behavior on P2P is no better.
