Recently Great Britain passed a bill that would require ISPs to block and filter all porn sites. Now an upstart Conservative backbencher from Winnipeg is proposing the same thing for Canada, once again under the banner of "For the Children" much in the same way they tried to push bill C30 not too long ago. Censorship, is shit, and using children as a smokescreen for your own puritanical bullshit is deplorable.

This bill, if passed would also affect me, because the college i go to does not have dorms I still live at home, with a father who can be stupidly uptight about sexual matters, I know my dad, he would probably opt out to porn if he had the choice. Now, I'm a sexually frustrated young gay man with a libido running at it's prime with no current outlet to vent my pent up urges, so yes, i spank the monkey whenever i get pent up, and i'd like to continue my longstanding, respectful tradition of not informing my father of my sexual habits, and i doubt i'm the only young person in canada who feels that way.

this could be harmful to LGBT youth who's advice forum is blocked by filters and they can't go to their parents for any number of reasons.

aside from all of that, parents can already install filters, major search engines already have safe search, why do we even need bullshit like this? The government shouldn't have to step in and do the parenting for us, it should be up to us to decide what our children can and can't see, and to give them good answers when they start asking legitimate questions about sex and sexuality.

now enough of this bullshit >:U
