Actually, I'd buy them a few large bottles of vodka, so they'd all get hog whimperingly drunk and have the mother of all hangovers the next day, and possibly have to be rushed to casualty for their stomachs to be pumped.
It would very likely put them off booze for life. Now _that's_ social responsibility.
Didn't work for me. Though I avoided vodka for a few years.
we all see things on the web-o-sphere, and we look a little and say 'NO FCKNG WAY' and then hit the return or cancel button.
sort of self-censorship
just because you see something bizarre or horrible on the inter web, it doesnt make you rush out and try it, does it ???
make sure you educate your kids the same way
Kids will always find way's around censorship, wouldn't a better idea be to better educate them on their own responsibility rather than trying to force it on them?!
The whole point of them being kids is they don't understand about responsibility and will actively rebel against whatever they're told not to do.
some sects have spent decades telling us that there is a being that loves us so much he sent his son to be killed yet lets good people die in horrible ways. Many people believe this fantasy.
So repetition is effective in convincing people what is acceptable & believable.
Within reason censorship is sensible.
However once we put the mechanism in who says the government won't abuse it? Soon we won't be able to post The PM is an I*I*T - oh look .....
Maybe we should distinguish between the porn. It's the violent kind that needs most control in my view.
maybe
but I am not convinced.

Yep, 14 yo has a bog standard phone in case he misses the school bus.
But a lot of his mates have smartphones, and no doubt they sit in huddles looking at inappropriate content in the school playground. Bugger all you can do about it as a parent apart from talking to your child. Or locking them in the cellar till they're 18.
I guess the main thing is to convince him of the advantages of not being _in_ the inappropriate content!
I'm with you here. Our kids don't need one, we've told them when there is a deonostrable need for one, they'll get one, and not a smart phone either.
