New South Wales censors Internet and why Internet censorship should not happen?

Why do these idiots think they can, and indeed need to, censor the Internet? Do they realise the Internet is not and never has been designed with children in mind? The responsibility lies totally with the parants to stop their innocent babies from seeking out net-pornography. Did any of us ever force their darling little angels to watch pornography?

No, it is the children who actively seek out net-pornography. And the buck stops with the parants who obviously failed to do their job, namely, control their children! I am fed up with media reports that Master and Miss Under-18 got so many megabytes of x-rated porno from the evil Internet and gave their parents a heart attack. Or the stupid boy who blew himself to bits by following the Terrorist's Handbook. Why don't we censor stupidity? Give everybody a psychological test and remove from society those who are stupid enough to blow themselves to bits. That will stop them.

If censorship is the answer, why stop with the Internet?

Why stop with censoring of the Internet? Lately there have been talks that the fashion industry is glamourising slimness because they employ skeleton-like models who are undersized, underweight and anorexic. Our Health Minister has expressed concern that the "glamour" is sending the wrong signal to our youth.

Isn't this much more serious than pornography? This is a matter of life and death! The young people are reading these dangerous magazines, watching these dangerous fashion shows, worshipping these dangerous role models and following this dangerous road to self-destruction! If there should be censorship then the politicians should start with all those women and fashion magazines, the broadcast and reporting of fashion shows, the conviction and imprisonment of slim fashion models, and access restictions to unrealistic diet articles and plans.
