Kids are not responsible enough for Alcohol and tobacco. Plus their minds are still developing I believe late into their Teens. If you say this is alright, then you must want to go back to how it was in the old days and allow kids to marry at early ages. 13 and marry a 40 year old. Right? There has to be limits in society or things get bad. |
Yes and limits are fine, we have limits, 17 to drive, 16 to smoke, 18 to buy alcohol (5 upwards to drink it at home if you parent lets you), 18 to vote, 16 to have sex regardless of sexuality. And guess what, people do buy cigarettes at 16 and give them to their younger friends, this will never change.
Internet shouldn't be restricted, if it is, then it should be done as an opt in to the restrictions. Not the other way around. Also, who determines what is porn and what isn't? Is the Ann Summers website porn for example?
Kids need protecting but it's up to parents to take responsibility and not have the government doing it for them. Goverment, if they are going to regulate the internet they should look more into sites that promote self harming, anorexia and suicide.
Hmm, pie.
