I really hate this attitude that the internet is for kids

But if you let kids on the Interwebs then they'll be stalked by paedophiles! So really the Internet isn't for anybody.

The best part is when someone brings up evidence that that generally is not the case (a lot of the studies which brought out those "fourteen out of ten kids have been killed and eaten by predators online" type statistics use shoddy stats and broad definitions to say the least), all people have to do to refute their argument is accuse them of being pro-child-molestor or something like that.

It's an issue that's been set up such that it's utterly impossible to discuss it in a rational manner. Absolutely perfect politician fodder, which is why it keeps coming up every few months.
