I think the parent quoted has the right attitude !

There is far too much 'PC' and protectionism these days. When I were a lad, we were tought how to walk along roads to school (without pavements I'll add) without getting run over, and so on. These days it seems that everyone must be wrapped in cotton wool and protected from the big bad world, and this seems to be fuelled in part by the minority who expect everyone but themselves to take responsibility for their kids. But where does this leave the kids when they grow up and find out that life isn't like that in the real world ?

I'm not in any way condoning the 'bad' things that go on, but lets be realistic - if we banned everything that can be misused then life would be pretty dour : no internet, no photograhy (of any kind), no paintings, no sculpture. Yes, even the Greeks and Romans had porn !

Ahh, nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
