Why or why not?
Yes, without restriction.
Yes, with some restriction.
Only under my direct supervision.
I would only show them certain threads of interest.
Depends on the age of the child.
No, not at all.

Would You Let Your Children Read This Forum?
Why or why not?
No, I would not - basically because there is too much nonsense and paranoia posted here. I'd rather have my children learn from me.
And all my youth passed by sad-hearted,
the joy of Spring was never mine;
Autumn blows through me dread of parting,
and my heart dreams and longs to die.

Real misanthropes are not found in solitude, but in the world; since it is experience of life, and not philosophy, which produces real hatred of mankind.

Under my direct supervision until they reach their mid-teens, I am a Fascist at heart, muahahahahahaha. No seriously, certain things being said are not appropriate for children or it is not really a children's environment.
Is the Skadi news site still up, now that is something I would leave my children view without supervision.
not at all, there is a lot of hate and derogatory remarks being made which are both not moderated well enough.
For me it would depend on their age.
This site is dedicated to free speech as much as is possble, and in that respect there is some things here which children shouldn't be exposed to. It's not due to bad Mod'ing but rather the policy of the site.
Also the realities painted here are rather grim and I wouldn't want younger children growing up too fast and carrying the cares and troubles of the world on their shoulders.
By their mid - late teens, they will have heard most of it all already and then I would let them digest the info and opinions here, although I would direct them as well with my own comments
If i had kids, yes with some restriction.
If I had children, I would only show them certain threads of interest, or print it out for them to read. My kids will be too busy performing outdoor manual labor to surf the net anyway.
There are definately some things on this forum that are "mature subject matter", but I'm not blinded by the illusion that I can actually censor these things from my hypothetical children. What they don't read here they'll see on TV or hear in the school yard. Skadi at least has people that would be, IMO, positive influences on children.
As a whole, I'm not too worried about what children are exposed to, with the exception of pornography as well as something that is sexually explicit or maybe senselessly violent. I'm not in favour of "sheltering" -though what is age appropriate should be taken into account for some things.
I count on my children being critical thinkersAnd I believe "sheltering" doesn't allow people to develop that skill, to a certain extent. Besides, if my kids turn out to be little lambs I will give them up for adoption -even if they are 17 when I find out they are sheeple.
I envision a world where people dawning long white robes and elaborate headdresses run rampant down the streets, waving their arms in the air while screaming "we've gone mad, we've gone mad", like defrocked monks breaking the silence of ages past.

I sure would. I got into white nationalism at thirteen. I'm still considered a child under Australian law - I'm 17 years old. I think it'd be great if my child (supposing I had one) viewed this place - though I'd wish he/she was at least 13 years old (I would not introduce he/she into politics before then), it'd be great to go to such an open debating/discussion forum as this.

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream at night, in the dusky recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams, with open eyes, to make it possible.
I said only under my direct supervision because I don't want these Mediterannean supremacists poisoning their mind.
