#1

Right about now, 100's of Campaigns Press Secretaries are in a panic and Dozens of Ambulances are racing to Congress due to a sudden outbreak of breathing issues and strokes.

However, with that said, I would support proper filtering of Adult content where minors are allowed to read and post.

#3 @#1 - Re: Filters. I wouldn't. If minors have access to a computer and have responsible parents, then the parents can put appropriate blocks into place.

It's these "little exceptions" that ultimately jeopardize free speech because there will be another little thing, then another.

#4 I agree with 2&3. Both are solved with responsible parental oversight.

Neither case is a subject for the Feds.

#7 no speech should be censored. If it uses 'bad' words then let mothers censor their children's reading. When i was a boy i spent winters mostly in the library but i only chose the stuff that excited me. Mostly civil war fiction.

#8 ^ no speech should be censored

Understandable, but Fred has an interest in not being harassed, servers hit, etc. He determines the rules on his site and we Mods enforce as best we can. Sometimes we miss (especially me) but doing our best?
