i guess i've been misunderstood.

1. if a young boy sees the pornography that his father, the adult, watches.....it will change him.

2. he will be a man someday. will he perhaps still be "changed" and have a skewed perception of what sexuality is about?

3. that is what i'm trying to say.

4. it is likely that children see porn every day that is inappropriate due to the fact that their parents are negligent. not just a dozen or so. thousands.

Okay I see what you're saying. But that's true of many many many things besides pornography. If parents are negligent, children will be exposed to all kinds of things they shouldn't be -- alcohol/drugs, restricted movies, sexual predators in chat rooms (or real life), even lots of television programs I've seen would be inappropriate for children and would probably change their outlook on life, etc. etc. So the parents definitely have to be diligent about what they want their children to see. And I know that some parents aren't diligent, but I wouldn't argue for censorship on that basis. The sheer volume of stuff to be censored out would be phenomenal. We have to construct the world for adults and then do our best to protect the children from the parts they aren't equipped to handle yet.
