If a library or web cafe has a filter on, you have the option to utilise another service. Go to a place with no filter, or pay for your own internet service.

It seems many people believe they have a right to never be offended. The number of times I have heard people say something is not appropriate, Over the Henson thing for example. As if that was the end of the matter. Larry Flynt said (paraphrasing) if you don't believe in the right of people to say things that deeply offend you, you don't believe in free speech.

Classification is stating that when you’re at home, you’re free to roam around naked, but in a public venue ... you are required to wear appropriate clothing.' Great analogy. ‘Censorship would be telling you that you would have to cover your body at all times, as exposing your body is dirty and immoral.

Great analogy.
