you didnt really notice my point...as far as im concerned once your an adult you can read what you want...until then for the most part your thinking is done by adults because you cant make good decisions and certain material is harmfull...just because its a written idea doesnt mean its not as harmfull as pornography. would YOU want a bunch of kids growing up thinking that stalin or hitler were right???
adults should have free access to ideas. parents should control what kids are exposed to not the gov't.
have you ever met someone who was raised by the gov't? decent, and well adjusted, are not the norm?
but the point still remains, other than parents making decisions for there kids, who is to decide what is harmful?
how do they decide?
can they do it without exposing themselves to the harmful idea?
if they do expose themselves to the material in an effort to decide if it's dangerouse, can we really trust the judgment of these now damaged people?
do we set up a system where one person decides for everyone?(that way if it's dangerous we've limited societies exposure)
and should everybody have to do a turn at deciding, I mean these ideas could be dangerouse, is it reasonable to expect someone to risk their sanity more than once before everybody has taken their turn.
plus if we let people decide more than once we increase the risk of a bad decision, not only could this material be dangerous but they may have residual damaged from the other material they checked out for us.
do we breed a race of superminds who are impervious to this sort of filth?
who's idea was that, did someone check to see if that was a safe/healthy thought
really it's all very complicated. you'd have to outline the whole plan before I could sign off on it.
but then I'm not sure if I could even check out your idea, has anyone checked to see if it is dangerous?
