Anti-Porn petition for those so inclined

I couldn't find any porn by searching for all the terms together - cat, home, soup. It's a bit sad when people feel the need to lie to convince people to join their cause. This one seemed comically implausible because the outcry would be fantastic against this kind of thing (can you imagine - the Super Bowl a few years ago showing a nipple - and catching your kid finding porn when they just want to see a cat?). Most search engines have taken measures exactly to prevent this from happening, and it seems to be very effective.

Yes. Search engines, even fringe ones like the one I use, have "safety modes" enabled by default that you have to turn off yourself. I'm pretty sure you can also attach passwords to them.

Yes. Better still, I didn't get porn when I turned these settings OFF.

I wonder how many people sign the petition actually searched for any of this and got porn. It seems to me that search engines want people to find what they are looking for. It would be a poor search engine if it pulled up something completely unrelated to what you (the consumer) were searching for. This petition is silly and immature.

I just searched "soup", "cat" and "home" on Google with safe search turned off (which is how I like it) and got nothing remotely pornographic, expect for a Buzzfeed article about soup made from an animal's penis (lol).

And as an example of how misguided the claims of the petition are, I done a research paper once on sexuality throughout the human life-span, which included sexuality in children. Not once where there any sort of inappropriate sites with child porn, and nothing pornographic came up when I began researching adult sexuality, and nothing when I looked up sexuality in the elderly.
But the dangers of typing in cat:
The Caterpillar company
The animal felis catus
Youtube video of a cat playing a piano
Icanhazchezburger (which is only dangerous if you plan on learning grammar from it)
Apparently some Dell laptops smell like cat urine

The dangers of home:
Home Depot
Wiki
Local real estate adds
Two year old Rolling Stones article about home foreclosures

The dangers of soup:
Wiki
Food Network
Cambells
A bunch of cooking/recipe sites

Yes, we need protecting from these ever so dangerous thoughts and ideas. What ever will I do with bulldozer, a laptop that smells like cat urine, the home depot, and Cambells soup? Although I will give it to you that you have to watch what you cook/eat that comes from the Food Network. Some of the recipes are so delicious, but I do not want to know how much fat is in them.

"Porn" is not a drop down option in Google. Neither are porn sites without the word "porn" such as RedTube or We Live Together.

Hahaha. It was stag penis soup. Those kinds of dishes aren't so rare around the world, anyway.

Haha here it is called "caldiyo de tronco" even wheI ate meat I just didnt feel comfortable with eating such a thing xD

(Caldito de tronco" would be literally translated more ot less like "little soup of log" )

You can find the best porn by opening the drawer to hotel end table.

Google recently changed its search algorithms. Even with safe search turned off it will still filter out porn results. You know must explicitly search for it in order to get it.
Google now automatically hides NSFW images in search results | Digital Trends
That isn't a bad idea. And it certainly a much better solution that forcing religious morality as law upon all of us. I also think several Firefox addons would probably bypass the laws of the moral police.

Iam in favour of parents looking after their kids. But what do i know.
For a nation/society of "personal accountability" I have found that not that many people are willing to be held accountable for their children's actions. A parent can program the TV to block certain programs, can block access to certain websites, can monitor and supervise their choices in music, and lets not forget my personal ultra pet peeve when it comes to parents: YOU are the PARENT, they are the CHILD, if their clothing is inappropriate then do something other than complain! Or maybe the number one pet peeve is "McDonald's made my kids fat." Again, you are the parent, it is your responsibility to look after and care for your children, which includes educating about and encouraging them to make healthy food choices, and to just say no to bad food choices.

Agreed. I get really frustrated by the reasoning of "mc donalds sold me this burgers! Look what they did to my kids! Me what? MC DONALDS sold me the burgers. MCDONALDS, are you paying attention? Tell them to give me money!"
