| Message | I'm not sure about this, it's not very libertarian is it? Surely adults should be allowed to watch sexually explicit stuff? |

| Message | Well, it goes along with your watershed bill, you see. They're meant to complement one another. |

| Message | I know, but surely sexually explicit material is fine after the watershed? |

| Message | No, not to my mind. If it's unacceptable in the broad day light, then it isn't acceptable at any time of the day or night. You see, part of the problem is that the watershed is about when kids are least likely to see it? Least likely? If this is to protect children, then there must be no possibility that they see "it." If parents can't be trusted to turn the channel during the day, they can't be trusted to change the channel at night either. Just my 2 pfennigs. |
