    Safety is learning to deal with a situation, this is enforced ignorance.

    I remember shock sites like lemonparty being sent around school when I grew up, when goatse arrived I had already trained myself to quickly back out or close the window when I saw disgusting content.

      Young people are going to push the boundaries, whatever the structure or wherever the boundaries are defined. It’s built in to people for a reason. It is part of how things don’t get stagnant and decay.

      You can get alarmed by young people’s porn addictions and the total collapse of physical social society, and then look for a solution to that, but that’s hard and these people are lazy and so this is what we get instead.
