    I hope this encourages children to learn an important life skill that will help them in numerous ways: Piracy.

      It is life changing really. I don’t recall ever paying for digital content. I still go to the theatres for an exceptional movie but that’s it. It has made me learn more about computers, be a bit savvy in tech. I can’t count how many times that has helped me get through my job. It really is an important life skill

        I was beating my meat like a boxer with a speedbag to the Playboy magazines I found when I was 11. And that was well before the internet was available. Kids are gonna find something to whack/flick it to, get over it.

          Remember those mail-order catalogues? Specifically the women’s underwear section. Horny teenagers are going to find something. And they have a vivid imagination.

        I watched porn as a teen. Look, maybe in America you’re all puritans or whatever, but I started looking at magazines when I was 13 and then later found online porn (and hell I was LATE to the game according to my classmates). This is a reality y’all have to come to terms with. Teens watch porn.

        One should be vastly more worried about people who when they think of children think of porn, or vice-versa.

        Normal people might think of children and think of playground safety or maybe how SUVs should be banned because they’re so much more dangerous for children on streets than normal cars.

        People whose top concern when it comes to “children” is “porn” are emotionally invested in a certain kind of association that normal people don’t usually have in their minds in such strong terms.
