Dear mums net users why do you try to police something that is not yours to police. The Internet is the one of the few dwindling places in the world where true freedom of speech exists. I have a theory to why this is. I believe you try to police the Internet because you lack the common sense to surpass your social mediocrity, To what i mean by this is that instead of "keeping up with the Joneses" with wrapping your middle class bratty children in wool in your "perfect-Eco-friendly big society " and are truly worried about "protecting" your children from the dangerous porn filled Internet then TURN IT OFF and give it back to the basement dwelling geeks like me

Ha ha ha ha haaaaa.

Thank you. You have just made an overdue grumpy woman laugh quite a lot.

Off to enjoy being socially mediocre now, whatever the fuck that means. At least I can punctuate.

I'm confused don't we normally have threads on here bemoaning the pointlessness of censoring the net and using common sense instead?

Holy Fuck maybe I've strayed onto Netmums! shock

I gather from your profile that you like your Warhammer. That's nice for you. How big is your basement? How many Warhammer figurines can you set up in it?

I am a bit confused though. How exactly are parental controls affecting you? Is your basement in the bottom of your parents' house?

oh c'mon, crashandburn, I'm agog here.

I hate diet coke. It's tasteless. Just thought I'd say that since cola was mentioned. Made me thirsty too!
