I was 13 the first time I had a computer in my home. When I first got online and surfed the web I was amazed at how much pr0n I could find without even searching for it. Well being the teenage boy I was, I clicked a lot of those ads and took the tour for free nudies...
Anyways... now I am 25 and honestly I have seen a lot of thins people just shouldn't have to see( tubgirl, goatse, and a lot of others ). Yes, I admit it was somewhat amusing to post the links to my friends see the reactions they give. Just like what happened to me. But now when I see things like that, it kind of seems normal. I feel like I am jaded( Iv seen everything type of mentality ). Now im getting older and settling down... and I think to myself... do I want my children to experience these things to... to be at the point where this sick and twisted stuff dosnt bother him/her so much because they have seen so much of it?
I really don't know what im getting at here, but its just the way I have been feeling about the internet and how much garbage there is out there... do we really want this for the next generation? Or should things change? I truly believe in freedom and speech, but I know for a fact underage kids can gain access to pr0n sites without problems... age verification is crap... any kid can grab mom or pop's credit card and all of a sudden they are 18+ according to the internet... I was one of them...
