Get over it bro. You were stupid and it got you banned for a week. Bro.

However, we can let this serve as a warning, we gotta clean things up in our chats to avoid what we may regard as vindictive and unfair application of the TOS.

PS2 will be a new start.

You are gonna have some weird, sexually repressed kids.

How could children having their internet activity monitored by their father turn them weird and sexually repressed?

Since when are children supposed to be sexually active/liberated/available/whatever it is you have in mind?

Holy crap, I'm weird and sexually repressed!!

[Graywolves]

Rather have a sexually repressed kid then him turn into one of those people who show off their junk on chat roulette or have a kid before high school is over.

I pray to G-d that you get a clue before you lose your virginity.

Does it matter? They'll just go over to a friends house or somewhere where the Internet is open and looks at porn. Teens like to rebel against these sorts of things. It's natural for humans to desire sex, more so for young humans. IMO, what you really want to do is warn them about all the dangers of sex and ways to prevent those dangers.

I will admit, there's is something about saving yourself for someone you love and kids should be taught that too. But, human curiosity and desire normally trumps that, at least at first.

It's hard to rebel when there's nothing against which one can rebel. So what you do is have "The Talk" with your children, starting with the differences between little boys and little girls whenever that subject comes up.

Yes. As I said, it's hard to rebel when there's nothing against which you might rebel.

The whole assertion that kids will be weird and sexually repressed without porn is fucking stupid and, in my mind, speaks of sexual repression. Hopefully that goes away when he finally gets laid.

[Crator]

^^^ Yup, exactly.

[Cegrocks]

Well, there goes all my TR globals... So I'm safe as long as I don't say the 7 dirty words?

Who knows, it would seem to SOE there are a lot more than 7 dirty words, but then there is also the issue of sporadic enforcement, which i find the bigger issue.

[Crator]

Yes, sporadic enforcement is bad. It makes others think, "Hey, it's OK to do that thing against the rules that I didn't for sure know was against the rule (unless I had read them) because others do it all the time".
