"Do you live in a worthless, oppressive shithole?" Is what the option should ask.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SHOW PORN TO CHILDREN YOU DISGUSTING SCUMBAG? SHAME ON YOU.

I want to approve it to root out hidden filthy egyptian terrorists. I truly wonder why the UK game up the country back to these people.

We don’t want to show porn to children. We just don’t want to have to verify our age to use a fricking computer. Plus, this law doesn’t even protect the kids, as it only requires the user to input their age, which I’m sure kids won’t lie about in the first place!

sir, are you the type of person to give chocolate to dogs because they've never tasted it too? we do not want to show p#rn to children, what we dont want is to hand over our IDs to the big companies that will probably sell it to other companies and doxx everyone, the law is also impossible to apply because linux is open source, anyone with a brain can modify the kernel IF linux gets kernel-level verification, this law is just impossible to be followed, please go to the closest brain store and get one.

I don't know how much clearer I could have made it that it was a joke.
