If your only fifteen here’s a tidbit of truth from an elder:

So keep on downloading......

My only question is why a 15 year old is given unsupervised access to a computer and the Internet. I could expect a 15 yr old boy to act like a 15 yr old boy, but somewhere a parent has to monitor a kid's computer time.
Blur, great troll attempt, but you should keep in mind we're dealing with a child here. Troll adults like us good self respecting trolls do.

No kidding, I hardly ever let my kids on the computer if I'm not around. The internet is just not a friendly place for a youngin. Plus there's better things for kids to do than sit on a computer all day, like go outside or do homework.

Nuh-uh. It doesn't say, "Thou shall not covet they neighbour's mom.". So MILFs are a-okay.

A good christian enjoys the good things in life, like porn.
We must hold our values and not let the fundamentalist brainwashers influence us. Taleban doesn't have pr0n mags hidden under thier matress.. They have the key to get to oppress the 7 virgins. Post mortum.

You guys are full of more toejam than my Thanksgiving Turkey. What, you think it's OK for a 15 year old to have unrestricted access to the Internet without parental supervision? You think he should D/L porn like some of you adults do??? You guys suck.
Instead of being the role models and voice of uh...maybe REASON... you extrahunks all encourage Joe Dirt to surf porn sites. Man, that is SO fuggin pathetic.
Hussein, I understand you are a total idiot- I mean, you reinforce my opinion of you as a half assed clown every time I read your posts- just spare the kids OK?
blur, I think it's obvious the only sex life YOU have is on the Internet- my question is, why enlist people who may be as pathetic as you? Sheeesh, he's 15 blur- why do you want him in your circle jerk? What is this, misery loves company? Or are you a Priest? At any rate you are pathetic dude.
There are SOME threads where it's fun to make fun of and SOME threads where if you can't say something positive you should just STFU. So please...STFU if you want to encourage a 15 year old to spend his leisure time surfing porn, whatever- this is NOT what makes normal people- This is what makes FTBs. And God knows there's enough of them already- whether they play AH or not.

Please watch your language there are children reading this thread.

You go Joe! I have a 15 year old son and am very proud of him. He is also a Christian. I keep Keylogger loaded on his computer to keep tabs on his use of the internet in his bedroom. He doesn`t know about Keylogger. I used to check it from time to time and found that he only visits sites (or at least types in sites) that are okay for him to go to.
I haven`t had to check on him in a while because he does so good about keeping things clean.
No, to answer the questions from some people here before they are asked, he is not a geek or anything like that. He is a star on his football team, very popular in school, has a ton of friends and the girls all adore him. His phone rings nonstop. You don`t have to be a nerd to stick to your beliefs.
Joe, keep at it. Attacks will come at you from all sides so be ready. You just took a major step in your life. I don`t know ya but I`m proud of you.

Wow...
Let's see... first off. Unrestricted access to the internet without parental supervision? Answer: Depends on the child. Funny thing is.. whenever someone says things like "unlimited internet access," the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is porn. I don't much worry about porn. Chat rooms are what trouble me.
Next... Do I think JoeDirt should D/L porn like the adults? Answer: Don't much care whether he does or doesn't. I don't consider it to be a litmus test of his character.
-
Well done JoeDirt, now do something about that room. ;)

Are you being facetious or what? I`m sorry but I can`t tell for sure.

Yeah, he prolly is.
When I was a kid, I could deal with my parents saying I couldn't do something. I'd break the rules sometimes, but hey..
But if they ever tried spying on me like that I would lose any respect I might have for em.
I hope for your's and the kid's sake he never finds out about this... Prollem is, is that if you bust him for looking at porn, you're gonna have to admit to invading his privacy and not trusting him. (It's kinda creepy in fact... the thought of you sneaking into his room and retracing his steps on the web)... What yer doing is quite a bit worse than much of what yer son may or may not be doing imho.
*Especially* since your kid sounds like a healthy well rounded person. What did he do to earn such mistrust from you?
You haven't caught him doing anything. Good. So the only guilty party in this episode is you.

LIke I said, I haven`t checked on it in a while. No need to. He stays clean. It`s not really what he has done in the past that I have had to check on what he was doing. It`s the things that other kids have done. Like the two at Columbine High School and others like that.
I don`t have to defend my parenting to anyone really. As far as me "spying"......well.....call it what you will. I`m just trying to make sure my son stays "well rounded". It`s a natural concern for any parent I would hope.
If he found out I used to keep track of things he types into that computer I would not be ashamed. As long as there are perverts, child pornographers and other such people who might intend harm to one of my children I will continue to do what I feel is needed to keep them away from them.
Oh and I don`t mistrust him. I mistrust the environment he can get into on the internet.
-
Just be sure you don't read his emails or snailmails.
-
Sorry Otto.... you're right. You don't have to defend your parenting to anyone. Yer kid seems ok... so I suppose that's all that matters in the end.
-
Here is a question, something that's always bothered me.
Kids see people killed, mutilated, etc on TV all the time. Violence abounds.
Show some tits and the kids aren't allowed to watch. Does this make sense?
Is sex worse than violence?
I remember a few years ago, we ran across some guy who was trying to pick up kids. Boy did we have fun with him. You wouldn't believe how easy it was to bill 1800 numbers to specific people, or simply have someone's phone service shut off. :D:D:D
-
Let me get this straight:
Some of you think its better for a kid to watch TV (for example), where they have no control of what they are shown, than it is to use a computer, when they choose whatever they want to see (or not)? If your kid is interested in watching porn, it doesnt mean he is a horrible freak, it just means he is sexually healthy.
Way to go, your poor kids will have a hard time being a true individual, cause you are not only forbiding what they see, but plainly trying to control their sense of curiosity.
If you have more trust for what strangers teach your kids, than trust for what your kid decides to do with the information that is available to him, you are not a parent but a manager.
I think the internet is one of the greatest learning tools of all time because a person can access information at will, from the safety of home. Yes, there are awful things out there in the web. But so what? its even worse in the world. You cant shield your children from reality.
If you have to watch what sites your kids are visiting, and spy on their emails and private messages, then you have serious issues, not only as a parent, but as a person.
And trust me, even if you keep taps on whatever your adolecent kid sees, and hears, you are not doing any good, cause his imagination will provide for whatever information you are restricting -- and there is nothing more wild and freaky than an adolecent imagination when they are just starting to get curious on what you consider to be be morally wrong.
-
desensitized?
I've seen loads o' porn and i assure you i'm still quite....uh....sensitive. (uncomfortable shuffle)
the preacher and his wife might pat each other on the back for sticking to the missionary position and feeling guilty and all that but i doubt that the good reverend fantasizes about his boring sex life when he's alone in the shower, though he'd never admit it.
in my opinion this creates dissonance between fantasy and reality and who knows what part of your psyche that puts a strain on.
if his real sex life with his wife was as creative as a good porno then a porno wouldn't seem so awful really ......nothing like a good XXX throw down to add perspective right? m-maybe it's just..... jealousy?
oh, fire away...i already smell the brimstone muhahah :)

What, you think it's OK for a 15 year old to have unrestricted access to the Internet without parental supervision?
Airhead FYI some of the 13-year olds get pregnant. You think that happened by themselves? And before you say anything, NO they probably never saw a porn flick in their lives before they got LAID. Most likely their parents NEVER told them a WORD about sex so they had to discover for themselves.
So if your kid is 15 and takes BJ's or even a bit of p.... from his numerous girlfriends on daily basis, you still think he's not adult enough to see some pr0n? You really think he blindfolds himself when he's fingering his girl in his room? Lol. Don't kid yourself, that stuff is old news by the time kids get 15.
When the thing starts to interest you, you're old enough. I was about 12 when I read my first dirty mag - and never looked back after that lol.
I'm not going to make my kid feel himself dirty for doing a completely natural thing.
It's YOU that has it all wrong.

Pop-quiz: in the early days of the Internet, what was the 2nd largest e-commerce industry?
Hint: the largest was online banking/stock trading.
Another hint: 70-80% of the early Internet users were male.
Its a shame when people just outright delete their files instead of uploading them to newsgroups first for all to share. ;)
-
Hussein, porn is demeaning to women. I have a 17 year old daughter, and if I thought one of her dates spent more time surfing porn sites than doing schoolwork she would not be dating him. Don't you see how porn dehumanizes and objectifies women? You are the one who has it all wrong.
As far as checking on computer history- I have the right to search my child's room, car, school locker, books, computer history or any other thing I want because I am her parent. Privacy? When she's an adult or when she has earned my trust and respect then I will respect her privacy. Until then I reserve the right to search what is actually MY property with the motive of protecting her from things like drugs. Oh, I forgot- I'm talking to the pro-drug crowd who thinks it's OK for my child to get high. Otto has every right to know exactly where his child is and what he is doing, on or off the Internet- that's called being a PARENT, something steely07 obviously is not.
Innomanite, using violence on TV as an excuse and justification for a minor child to view porn makes about as much sense as justifying heroin use because alcohol is legal.
Gofaster, so because "everybody" views porn it's OK for our kids to view porn? FYI I have no porn on my computer- I don't hit porn sites, download porn off KaZaA or visit newsgroups other than Bigweek every so often.
Dingbat, I was being metorophical. I prefer an oyster stuffing in my turkey.
Mrfish, welcome back- I knew a good flame fest over porn would smoke you out.
Now, to ALL of you- We have a responsibility to monitor our childrens' behavior, to know where they are and what they are doing, and to stay very involved in their lives. I am amazed some of you disagree with that- I only hope you don't have children.

Helluva troll Joe

Airhead, go back to beating your kids and telling them that sex is Eeeevil. That masture masturbation is unnatual. Remeber when ever you have an orgasm Jesus cries.
Welcome back, Mr. Fish!

funny thing is right off the back you assume joedirt is an American .. I'm rather sure not every contry thinks you need to be 18 or 21 or 400 years old to look at porn(like many countries beer).
In case you don't know it, not every country tries to soical engineer it's citizen like that, leave that to the 'free' USA
but I guess you think we need more goverment rules? More social engineering?( nazi's were real good at this)
looks like everyone here is going vote for republicans and democrats agin so most of you must like it.
When I have kids they will drink if they want to in my home. Do you think it's a better idea for them to go out looking for it (if they want it, they'll find it; didn't you find it when you were young?).
Well this gets off the area of porn ... but I'm really aginst soical engineering but goverment and porn is part of it.

In the interview, Bundy, whose crime
spree allegedly included more than 30
homicides in Washington, Utah, Idaho,
Colorado and Florida, accepted the
responsibility for his crimes.
But he said the violence-laced
pornography he began looking at in his
pre-teen years induced some of his actions.
He warned that other homicides will happen
"because other young people are reading the
kinds of things and seeing the kinds of things
that are available in the media today."
Dobson said the country actually is
worse today than a decade ago.

Yeah Rip... Bundy is clinically insane...
so the words that come out of his mouth have about as much credibility as Creamo giving a lecture at a NASA convention about spacial anomalies.

Still... we've had the World Wide Web for close to ten years... and all the porn that comes with it.
Does the judicial data support the conclusion that "the country is worse today?"

If the start of his sentance didn't rob him of credibility the end of his sentance- "they will drink if they want to in my home-" certainly destroyed his credibility.
How old before you buy your kid booze? 16? Is he allowed to have friends come over to drink with him? So you're willing to provide alcohol to kids? What if one of his buddies has a reaction to alcohol and dies? What if he gets drunk and totals his car?
Manadew, expecting my child to be drug and alcohol free is hardly social engineering- in fact it's being socially responsible. If you plan on allowing your child to drink, do drugs, whatever, then I hope you never have kids.
Thrawn, what are you talking about? I don't beat my child- in fact it has never been necessary. If you assume I'm a whacked out Christian because I attempt to instill moral values in my child then I must assume you're morally bankrupt.

Airhead / Sandman I suggest you READ things instead of assumeing preconcived ideas.
Sand -I think I'll do that with my kids because my parents did it for me (just a bit beyond 21 now)
I watched some freinds around me die or end up in coma's (he's been in coma for 4 years now) the were out and about drunk because they COULDN'T drink at home.
Your entilted to your opinion, all I'm saying is isn't my opinion just as valid? soical enginnering tries to make someones opinion law.
By saying 'soical engineering' I mean makeing LAWS that say you shouldn't do these things. I think you as a parent have the right to deny your child anything to the age of 18 or until they run away;
but I don't think laws should be in place for these types of things, it should be a parents choice to let thier kids drink or even watch porn. (I'd hope most parents would choose not to let them see porn but it should be thier choice.)
I'm a firm believer of crime requireing victims
maybe you want to payfor all the pot,coke whatever heads in jail, I don't
I think all these things fall under the 'social engineering' area. and it always sickens me, but that my opinion .. unless you want to make it law.

Yeah...Christian morals. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Masturbation will blind you. Our bodies are gardens for Jesus. Any of this sound familiar?
Your morals are that of the religious right. And if not following it's policy of shame and guilt makes me morally bankrupt, then so be it.

Hmmm... not sure what I assumed.
Anyway... once you start raising your own kids, you'll probably find quite a few preconceived notions about it that just don't quite fit with the reality. Keep in mind that your reality isn't the same as everyone else's. Your kids won't be the same as anyone else's nor will siblings even be the same. Some of the things we've learned and used WRT my son do not apply and/or are not necessary for my daughter. Different people with different issues.
Oh... you'll start out asking your parents for advice about it until you feel competent as a parent. Then, you'll square off with them on a parental authority argument/discussion. I guarantee it.
-
Sand-
I thought you were assuming I pulled the parent/drinking thing outta my ass, and had no experiance with it. So I felt it nessarcy to show where I draw my feelings and opinions from :)
(S)
just tired of other peoples opinions being made into laws.

My morals are that of the right wing religious fanatics because I don't want my teenage daughter doing drugs, drinking alcohol and surfing porn sites??? LMAO "shame" and "guilt?" Try "self respect" and "integrity," Thrawn- those are my weapons of moral teaching, not shame and guilt.
I'm amazed you could make an assumption about my religious values because I don't want my child engaging in inappropiate and risky behavior. You are the one who brought up Christianity- all I did was wonder out loud how a 15 year old could have unsupervised access to the Internet and state that my 17 year old does NOT have unsupervised access to the Internet. I don't preach, Thrawn, but I try to be the best parent I can be. Unfortunately kids don't come with owners' manuals so I'm not sure if I'm being too strict or not- but if I err I'd rather be too strict than too lenient.
Manadew, I assumed nothing- I reacted to your statement stating your desire to provide alcohol to your future children. To paraphrase, that's a stupid idea. Now you're using this thread to advocate drug legalization. That's a stupid idea too, BTW, but if I've done a good job as a parent then my child won't be a drug addict. You are right- you are entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to call your opinion "stupid" just as much as you are entitled to call me a "right wing religious fanatic" because I attempt to shield my daughter from drugs and porn.

thanks thrawn, airhead - i finally got done being bored with AH - time away really works.

-
I'm glad you agree with me Air :)
Wasn't trying to get off topic
( those points were to bring up the thesis of :Opinions should not become Laws: )
because after all porn is something you proably don't want your kid seeing, so couldn't aruge for it easily.
So I play the achohol card which falls under victumless crimes like looking playboy's.
Simply I don't like soical engineering.
don't know how I can explain my POV better...
-
Airhead, my apologies, I was just winding you up. It was cruel and unnecessary. Oh wait, you think of it as a work of art. Well it DOES have some entertainment value. :o
I don't think you have issue with with the masturbation itself. I think you have problems with the porn as you consider it exploitive.
ex·ploit Pronunciation Key (ksploit, k-sploit)
n.
An act or deed, especially a brilliant or heroic one. See Synonyms at feat1.
tr.v. ex·ploit·ed, ex·ploit·ing, ex·ploits (k-sploit, ksploit)
1.To employ to the greatest possible advantage: exploit one's talents.
2. To make use of selfishly or unethically: a country that exploited peasant labor. See Synonyms at manipulate.
3. To advertise; promote.
Now I think we are looking at definition number 2.
To which I ask. Do you think it is possible for pornography to be made which was not made selfishly or unethically?
-
Manedew,
One of my all time favorite song lyrics goes something like this:
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Basically what I'm saying here is that I would bet the ranch and the trailer rent that you will NOT feel the same in 18 - 20 years that you feel today.
I know, cause I used to say the same stupid things.
-
I agree with Airhead on all points. Very well put I might add.
-
With all the evils in society that can influence a young person - drugs, violence in the media, peer pressure, conservatism - worrying about a kid looking at some titties just seems like a waste of time.

OK, but it's my time to waste to monitor my child's activities. If you feel like it's a "waste of time" to monitor your child's Internet access then I only hope your kid isn't communicating with some pervert in a chat room because that stuff happens every day.
I wonder what the parents of a 14 or 15 year old girl who's been exploited by a pervert she met in a chatroom would think about more closely monitoring their kids' activities? I'll bet they wish they would have "wasted their time" just a bit more. Sandman is right- the Internet (and the world, for that matter) is a dangerous place for a kid.
Thrawn, get thee behind me Satan! LOL You can't wind me up as easily as you can break me down bud. Really, being a parent is just about the only thing I take seriously and give 110% to. All I try to do is what I think is right, both morally and ethically, and I've tried to be a positive role model for her and show her by example. I have never cheated on my wife, I don't lie or steal and I pay my bills on time. Not because I have to, but because I want to. Hopefully she will emulate what she sees and raise my grandchildren with a good sense of values.
