Morons at the Daily Mail discover ChatRoulette, hilarity ensues...

[Rydra]

These DM-reading/writing types of people only ever think new things are evil.

If it were up to them, we'd all be keylogged, the Internet would only contain their paper's website and sites which they themselves have deemed suitable, we'd only be allowed to browse during set hours, computer gaming would be banned (as everyone at the DM knows, it causes children to become violent offenders)...

 

I dunno, I've been playing eve-online for a number of years, and I occasionally meet people in real life and think "Really wish I could Pod this :censored:".

 

I stick by we learn from experience, and it's better that people experience things for themselves, and make their own decisions on right/wrong, acceptable and not, than shield them from anything/everything we deem 'too mature' for them.

 

Tell a person "Don't press the red button" seal it in a protective case with lots of tape seals on, they'll think for ages what does the button do, consider ways they can press the button covertly, and usually they'll go press the red button and see what happens.

Leave a person with a red button and a warning label, when it gives them the shock, they are unlikely to press it again.

 

It doesn't mean they should experience everything from any age, as causing harm is a bad thing, but if they are old enough to experience it and understand it, they need to learn about it.
