Second, why can't people parent their own kids? What if I don't agree with the government and want my kid to see stuff the government has decided to block? The government isn't the parent of your child and you shouldn't be treating them as such. If you child is doing something you don't want, it's your job as their parent to stop it.

Where the hell did I say porn? You think they can't block anything else?
Also, so what if I did? Shouldn't that be a parents decision? Say I'm fine with them watching it at 16yo. Shouldn't that be up to the parent, not the government?
People who give up their freedom to the government are going to lose far more freedom than they're OK with losing. It starts with something you might agree with, but it never stops there.
