How is porn dangerous to children?

So before I went on vacation, I found through the firewall logs, that someone was using the kiosk computers (the ones that we have for people to use on lunch in the lunch room) to surf porn.

I think it was Monday, the director said to get some kind of nanny software, clean those boxes, put the software on it, and put them back in place. I've been looking at nanny software today... Which all claims to be about protecting the children?

So I have to wonder protecting them from what? Porn is like Tv. It's real only to a point. As long as you realize that, what is there to be protected from?

Anyway.... Just got my hackles up because several places all said the same thing. Porn is Dangerous to children. Not those exact words, but that is what it's saying.

Yes, I see your rant, and I agree that porn is not the devil people make it out to be. But I think the danger they're refering to is mostly the porn-associated chat rooms where they fear people will prey on kids. Yes, I know that is mostly a fear built in people's heads, but I think they're playing on that fear. The fearful people are the ones who swear prostitution should be wiped from the face of the earth regardless of how many $$ it takes to do it. Nevermind it is a victimless crime for the most part--especially if it's regulated where disease and pimps are kept to a fair minimum.
