I wouldn't worry, stuff like this never sticks. The EU and supreme courts always overturn such govement schemes like they just did with the immigration cap for non EU citizens.

I'm inclined to doubt the validity of this story purely because I couldn't find it reported anywhere else.

Whether or not this is true, I'm still glad the Irish government has no idea what the internet is yet.
The British goverment really doesn't either, they are all a bunch of out of touch fossils that don't have a clue. I bet they don't even know that parental controls exist on both windows and every single browser avaiable.

How about parents look after their own fucking children for a change - don't let them have a PC in their room and assume that it will work as a babysitter.

As for slightly older people - like 14-15 year old lads seeing porn...so what? I remember once, when I was a kid, I was in a newsagents and as I was browsing "Smash Hits" I overheard my Mum offering to buy my brother a Playboy. At the time I was mortified but in hindsight she was acknowledging that guys jerk off, that it isn't bad that guys jerk off and it is probably better that he did rather than go and get some girl pregnant. Was that unusually progressive? Was it a harmful thing?

"Unless parents opt in"

Clever girl...

Also, about the boys raping other boys, I'm over 100% sure 99% of my friends watch porn and yet, I've never been raped by any of them. Its the Genius/Idiot chance, these kids were going to do that with or without porn, or at least were capable of it

Early sexualisation is caused by teaching kids in Primary School about sex. End of story.

Also, students hate the government enough as it is. They've already been rioting for other reasons. This'll just add to the fire as we don't have freedom of choice.

An 'Australia'? what do you mean?
He means with regards to censorship. Australia doesn't have an "adult" rating. So if something comes along that would be rated adult then Australia simply doesn't allow it certification to be sold in the country... meaning the people of the country allowed to legally acquire them aren't allowed to make their own choices into whether or not they want to buy it.

............instead of ranting I'm just going to say that there will be one website in the UK and it will be "BRINGBACKTHEPORN.com"

Wait, what? We* just don't have an R18+ rating for games. What 'adult rating' are you talking about?
*Is Australian

Well, it's not that bad if you read the article, but it still seems unnecessary. What happened to the days when people were raising their own children instead of bitching to the government when they screw up? I seriously doubt this will pass.

Debt up to its eyeballs, and the UK is still looking at new ways to piss away tax payer money.

Daivd Cameron has gone too far now.

I could just about deal with the budget cuts and the "Education Inflation"[sub](copyright Anchupom 2010)[/sub]
This is just ridiculous. What are all the unemployed and students who can't go to university going to do now? D:

The government won't ban porn for the reason they won't ban tobacco or alcohol, it's very hard to bring in a sweeping change, either legalising or banning anything that gives the masses pleasure.

Even worse in terms of porn, the UK actually has a porn industry, and we're certainly not short of consumers, so the government would lose a bucketload of tax by outlawing it, again, that's why they don't ban tobacco, it makes more tax money than it costs in healthcare.

Honestly, it's hilarious to think that they'd do anything for the good of the people, they'll do what makes them look good to get votes, and they'll do what makes money, or keeps their rich friends in the corporations happy.

(And in saying that, maybe the UK industry is screwed, can't compete with the Hustlers of the world.)

I just hope that if a vote comes up, every MP in favour of it allows their PC to be checked out to make sure they're not holding any illegal files. That's got to be fair, right? One rule for everyone?
