I never take my freedom of expression for granted. I have what I like to call "mature" content on my site. That means within my pages I cover things like impressions of a psych unit, tips on blowjobs, cutting my wrists with glass, stupid penis tricks, doing drugs, my idea of a good porn video, becoming a grandmother, drinking alcohol, learning to love, giving up a baby, embracing life, stealing, getting beat up, accepting hard truths.

If you don't think you will be comfortable with any of this, then you have the freedom to leave.

If you're a parent who thinks, "Oh my god, what if junior stumbles into this place", then buy some blocking software. (NOTE: Before buying your software, be sure to check into exactly how each product determines what should be blocked. See Peacefire for more on this.)
