- psyclonic, on 01/14/2009, -1/+12tell me again how images and information "damage" children.

Goatse.cx - PGPirate, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4I'll take Parents for 200 Alex.
- Tyrghast, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4Sedate the kids with Ritalin and sit them in front of the TV for 15 years, and then act surprised when they get in some kind of trouble? Wooooooo go parents!
- Harabeck, on 01/14/2009, -0/+4Why do they call it "age-verification technology"? It should be "identity verification technology", as it requires your identity to be checked against government databases. It's like having to give out your social security number to get access!
- conversekid, on 01/15/2009, -0/+4Good parenting will always be better than some easily bypassed parental controls.

What the hell happened to parenting? - inactive, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3I know an easier way to protect yourself online: Don't be a *****.
Whoever the hell is stupid enough to add anyone on FB or Myspace and then do whatever they say deserves what's coming. - Astark, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3I want to know who the heck is going to protect my computer from my kids?
- mugicha, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3I'm Chris Hansen. Let me ask you one question. What exactly are you doing here?
- timothy53, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3errrrrrr parents.
- mcsenget, on 01/15/2009, -0/+3Newsflash! Some kids will circumvent the "protections" themselves!
"Are you 18?" YES - aircool, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Of course it can't, and neither can laws.
- srodolff, on 01/15/2009, -1/+3I'll take the low tech approach. Good ole pair of wire cutters should do just fine.
- Barackalypse, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Regrettably, age verification will almost always end up being identity (or stolen identity) verification.
- mcsenget, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Yes I'm 18. Why do you think I'm trying to whack it to pictures of Princess Jasmine?
- mhearne, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2Why Chris! I'm here to hook up with you!
- erikerikerik, on 01/15/2009, -0/+2but but, I'm way to damn busy to raise my own snow flake!
I know! dear goverment, can you please raise my child and protect them from everything harmful?
this includes:
running in playgrounds
Playing Tag
climbing tree's
"lossing," in a sports game
using the word school
using red ink to grade papers.
anything that has to do with the human body naked!
any kind of hugging in school
Thanks
Helicopter parent~ - cfuse, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Some people who have children have difficulty with the ring pull on a can. These idiots are always the ones that want someone else to wipe their asses, rather than take one shred of responsibility for themselves.
"Think of the children" as an excuse for censorship (like what we are about to cop in Australia)? How 'bout you do your ***** job as a parent instead of pushing your problems onto others.
Rotten parents piss me off. - PxCxG, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Buried for obvious headline. And I don't think anyone is suggesting that only technologies can protect kids. That's just a straw man being set up by the blogger to make it seem like this news is somehow actually interesting.
- Barackalypse, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Parenting would be an alternative to Government intervention and expansion of authority, and therefore is therefore deemed insufficient and unreliable.
- iriemember, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1shocking
- mhearne, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Right, especially when there are millions of kids looking to hookup with adults and buy kiddie porn.
- inactive, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1Sorry, hard day, watching TV now go to your room and be quiet with your camera, PC and sister.
- inactive, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1I guess people are just going to have to start be parents.
- darkened, on 01/15/2009, -0/+1RESPONSIBILITY? NO, WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!
- inactive, on 01/17/2009, -0/+0Of Course
You need parents to raise a child not a TV and a Computer and a Nanny
I bet 90% of people in prison today had bad parents - Dopeness, on 01/15/2009, -5/+1Someone needs to develop a piece of voice recognition software than can detect age fairly accurately.
Boy visits site - site requires boy to speak into mic, reading a specific and always changing line, boy gets denied because he sounds like he's 13.
A slap to the head by the parents always works too. - s4g4n, on 01/15/2009, -6/+1pedobear in 3.... 2... 1...
