...but you will still have a right to watch porn as a responsible 18+ adult??

And us parents will be safe in the knowledge that the 18+ material is no longer available to all ages?

So you think minors should be given the right to buy alcohol and fags too?

It's the start of a slippery slope, if it was an opt in system then that wouldn't be so much of a problem since then it would obviously be a move to protect children. The opt out system however has different connotations.

The Alcohol point is so ridiculous that I'm just going to laugh instead of wasting my time discussing such a stupid point.

Impeding an adult's rights is different to protecting children from toxic products that can seriously harm them and their development....

But Dezzy , if you wanted to go and buy a hardcore DVD or magazine, you'd have to be able to prove you're 18.. Why should it be any different in cyberspace?
