Thing 10

I definitely have mixed feelings about this. It is fun to be able to create your own headline, marquee saying, etc. Some of the generators, though, were difficult, or nearly impossible to work with. Others were, to be blunt, vulgar and offensive. This leads to the problem I have with the Internet, and the idea of free speech. Anyone can post anything on the Net, truthful or not, innocent or not. Certainly, as an adult, I don't have to view these posts, or agree with them, but what about children? Why should they have to be exposed to this stuff? Why should Snoopy or Scooby Doo be available right next to, basically, porn? Who becomes the final arbiter?
