27. Why are you referring to them as liberal when politics has nothing to do with it?

Every parent of a bully insists their child isn't a bully, so who knows what yr child got up to when you were being into lack of prohibitive control parenting. I said no to some of things and set up some boundaries for my little poppet and she survived just fine, though we had one or two rocky moments when she was at school.. Yr child turned out well, but I think that the kid with the fucking wanker of a dad is more likely than not to be a bully. There's a big problem with online bullying here.

I think you and I won't agree for one main reason. You're approaching this from a rigid and absolute American cultural approach where freedom of speech and no censorship are up on a pedestal and to be worshipped without question or exemption. I come from a culture where the greater good is weighed up against an equally important freedom of speech. Things aren't always absolute here, and this is one case where it's really gained traction to try to reduce the harm to children. We'll have to wait to see how it goes and whether it does what's it's intended to do.
