The idea of blocking porn is retarded.
All this bollocks about claiming children have been 'negatively affected' by it. If they were going to be fucked up, they were going to be fucked up. Maybe the parents should accept the blame, rather than simply pointing the finger at anyone but themselves.

Also, why would a child under 16 have a PC in their room anyway? What purpose does it serve?

Tbh, it wouldn't actually affect me too much, either way.

So they can wank over porn without their parents seeing them?

So they can see their close family friends presenting old episodes of Art Attack on YouTube.

Surely that's a bonus, not a reason to have one there?

I think the parents get fed up with them wanking in the lounge during The One Show, so...

I had a PC from the age of 12
There was no internet back then but it served many purposes. Games, homework, programming, simply learning to build and upgrade them. Its served me quite well.

See, that makes sense
And I would be happy for (when the time comes) my child to have an internetless PC in their room at that age.

There will be no such thing as an internet;ess PC by the time you spawn.
it will also be pretty much impossible to give them a phone without an internet connection.
