A proposed automatic block on the Internet access to pornography at the ISP level has been rejected by the UK government after the matter was put to parents and organizations to get their views on what the preferred course of action should be.

Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch, which is opposed to default filtering, said: "This is a positive step that strikes the right balance between child safety and parental responsibility without infringing on civil liberties and freedom of speech.

Shakespeare wasn't compulsory at school unless you were taking A level English or University degree, so most of the population won't get beyond "Alas poor Yoric, I knew him well"...then again that's all the time you need I guess.
 
I want to know what old sorry sap proposed this to begin with? Probably some religious nut job...leave it to religion to fuck it up for the rest of us I swear!

It was a "think of the children" move! Everything seems to be anti "child porn"...

Lots of storks?

Anyway, British people don't have sex. They just lie on top of each other and recite Shapespeare.

The classroom scene from "The Meaning of Life" popped into my mind.

I should find some of these mythical British people to see if I can move to their planet.

Reminded me of family guy, although that was about Jewish sex lol.
 
If it wasn't for porn I probably would have had sex with ugly chicks between girlfriends. That's probably why they want to ban it in the UK, so ugly people can start having sex again. :D

What episode is this?

I only remember the one about British porn one, where they are sitting there and saying "You know Margaret, we could be having intercourse right now" or something.

well done.
 
The amount of things our kids have access to nowadays, and they're worried about a pair of tits? Cmon now.
 
Porn is healthy for kids. Sheltering kids is bad.
They should be exposed to it at an earlier age, otherwise boys will think girls shit out of their pussy, and that they're supposed to stick their dick into the belly button to knock a girl up.

I was 'reading' Hustler and Penthouse at age 9.
They were the next logical step after Curious George and Where's Waldo.

It is odd for the British Government to worried about porn considering they have traditionally seemed far more forced on intense violence being depicted on TV or in movies.

Considering how much more sexually free the majority of Europe is , this bill didn't have a prayer ..
 
Dear government, please do my job for me. I care enough to fill out petitions and stuff, but not enough to put a password on my family pc, and/or educate my children that real sex is far less interesting so they won't get disappointed.
 
I wouldn't say it's "healthy", but there is certainly a natural progression to it. Nine is about right for alot of people. I do think it's a tad bit strange to see this from a place like that. The whole "for the children" thing has gone to absurd lengths.

It's pointless for a parent to put a kid online with a computer in their bedroom, have no problem with them having Facebook and Twitter accounts, and putting some other entity in charge of internet filtering....while complaining to government about online porn. There are countless ways for parents to monitor/control what their children do online. It really comes down to ignorance, apathy, and laziness.

The plain and simple truth is that the vast majority of the human population will either enjoy or accept the idea of naked women (both sexes). The average person (male or female) tends to not want to see naked men so much. Putting this kind of control in the hands of (ANY) government is a very bad thing. It's just NOT for government to decide.
 
sex.. is one of the most basic aspects of human existence... it will not ever be successfully managed!
 
Outside of bible thumpers, every couple doesn't mind porn..... including the one's in government. Stupid to even consider crap like this.

Personally, I'd prefer to live on top of the essence of raincloud where I can lay around in the sun and control the raincloud so it rains Skribbel-y nyan cats on the world below.

Whatever...you've never met a Unix. They're like my kitty after he got snipped. They just lay around on a chair and sleep all day, not caring about much.
