Tim,

K>EXACTLY.. its sad that my 9 year old nephew will do a search for some game or
K>addon and get bombarded with explicit pictures on google.. even with strict
K>filtering..

K>sad indeed..  I'm all for open internet, but lets at least try to keep our
K>pre-pubescent kids as innocent as possible.

  Exactly. They'll likely hear from it from their classmates first.

K>when I walked on him one day with those pics on the browser, he told me he wa
K>searching for something for minecraft and it came up.. I believe him.. so I s
K>him down and explained to him what his father should have.

K>He left with a better understanding and now I do not believe it will scare hi

  Sort of like a user wanting access to adult files, even though he's
under 18. His reason?? "I need them for a high school sex education
class project!!". Nice try, but no dice. 

K>I'm not going to lie.. I looked at Playboys, etc when I was 8 or 9 but not no
K>of the crap that is freely acessible today.. My dad say me down and taught me
K>that nudity was natural and sex was natural, I guess thats when I got my bird
K>and bees talks..

  I remember a cartoon from MAD magazine years ago. Someone had used
graffitti on a newstand that was selling Playboy. After their deed, it
read "If you enjoy self PLAY, BOY this magazine will sure help!!". :P

  It's not like the old days of "the birds and the beees"...especially
in the Yogi Bear cartoon, where Yogi explains that to Boo Boo...in that
"birds fly, and bees make honey". :P

  Now, they say "sex is a misdemeanor -- the more you miss, the meaner
you get!!".  Just what these hormone fevered adolescents need to hear
.
