I was at school and i try to access this website on the school school computers. When i typed it in, the screen stated websites with the following material, anarchy, drugs, sex, blah blah. I was struck dumb founded. Why would the school want to prohibit the viewing of this website? And what ordinance is this website under? Adult?

"How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"

I think the site is restricted because they wish to protect developing minds and this is a 'den illiterary sin' that you need to be sheltered from.
I think whenever an attempt is made to block sites for example porn sites certain key words that appear as part of a site would be criteria for blocking. here is an example I was reading about earlier a student in a Canadian high school was doing an essay from internet sources on the beaver- the dam building critter. That word was part of the word list that is filtered as pornography related- in the end they simply had to choose another topic. I would imagine it would be impossible to sort sites individually - so what can you do? The internet needs a whole lot more organization or at least a responsible search engine of sorts.
