I have reason to believe that my 16 y.o. son is looking at porn on his laptop. However, he knows how to go to the history tool bar and delete his browsing history. Is there another way that I can look at the browsing history?

Because "moral principles", or lack there of, were stated within the "technical question" itself.

You remind me of those anti-constitutionalists that argue about the requirements of and about the Second Amendment.

F.A. Hayek Fan posted an establishment preamble that has only meaning to his technical question. On review:

Here is what F.A. Hayek Fan asked:

His reasons are his business in establishing a premise. But all you did in post#2 was distract away from his interest.

Now, let's look at the Second Amendment which is largely neglected in the SAME WAY (or contextual argument) you attempted to distract F.A. Hayek Fan's post:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

You have garbled F.A. Hayek Fan's meaning similar to Handgun Control Inc. You think because of establishing a forward or principle towards the issue permits some sort of distraction.

You are a bumbling, babbling idiot PaulCJ. No wonder you can't get it quite right yet ... you are always distracted because you can't read.

To go behind someone's back is not moral. Such hypocrisy is the reason we have so many problems in the world.

Kind of like talking about someone while having them on your bozo list so that they are unable to respond to you or insisting that others fight and die for the war you support while you sit on the computer in your parents house nice and safe.

You know nothing of morality but are thoroughly familiar with hypocrisy.

i agree with Paul on this one.

I do not believe that I am "having a heart attack over it." Like the overwhelming majority of parents in this country, I do not want my son looking at pornography. He says he isn't, and maybe he's not, but I would like to be sure. 16 year old boys are horny enough without subjecting themselves to pornography everyday.

Back when sex education was being introduced into the pubic school system, and commenting on the great outcry that arose, some pundit commented, "We don't need any classes on sex education, let'em learn it in the gutter, like I did."

It would have saved us tons of money had his advice been followed.

Lets take another peek at your own #2 post, shall we?

Your son is sixteen years old, if he isn't looking at porn, you should worry.

If it is not rape, snuff, or child porn, don't give yourself a heart attack over it.

You should probably be more worried about the possibility that you son might accidentally get his girlfriend pregnant.

You are a fool, PaulCJ. What do want me to do on the Internet, beg a bailiff to whack your pee-pee (borrowed cliché from Arlo Guthrie's infamous ... Alice's Restaurant)?

Why do some posts on 4um run outside the margins requiring one to scan back and forth to read them?

Because some element in such articles or threads are not subject to proper wrapping, such as very wide pictures or, sometimes, web addresses that are a mile long. Browsers routinely expand a view window beyond the screen width in those cases, and then set word wrapping of text at that width.

To deal with it with the software would require some fancy stuff beyond ordinary HTML. It's really the responsibility of the person posting to watch out for that, but it shouldn't be a big problem as ordinary content, with photos or not, shouldn't do that.

Sure.. the framework of F.A. Hayek Fan's original post weas fairly simple to read:

And you attempted to clobber F.A. Hayek Fan in post #2:

If it is not rape, snuff, or child porn, don't give yourself a heart attack over it.

You should probably be more worried about the possibility that you son might accidentally get his girlfriend pregnant.

You are a laff a minute, pal. You are diversionary to this thread similar to both the Republicans or Democrats attempting to impose some sort of POWER trip under the guise of moral principle... you are kinda like GWBush begging for a "compassionate conservatives".

You have zero idea of what you are talking about. You assume that because I asked the question about Firefox that I did not speak with my son about the subject. That is an assumption based upon no facts whatsoever. However, you are dead wrong. I did ask. We had long talk about the subject. However I am a proponent of trust and verify and I don't give a shit if some immoral neocon such as yourself approves or not.

Says the person whom states family matters publicly.

You asked two questions, in one question. You indirectly asked if it was okay to go behind your son's back, otherwise, you have just asks how to get a history folder back without giving details.

If you think your son is looking at porn, be a man and ask him directly. Don't go behind his back.

He is sixteen, according you. Legally speaking, if he committed a crime, he would be charged as an adult.

The government considers him mature enough to know right and wrong from a legal standpoint. I will hold him to the same standard.

This is not a ten year old we are talking about.

The hard fact is, at sixteen, if a boy is not thinking about girls and sex at least occasionally, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with him.

The law does not consider a 16 year old boy old enough to view pornography. Neither do I. The fact that you do matters not a whit.

You really don't get what I am saying to you. It isn't the porn I am talking about. It is the going behind the back of you son that is the problem.

This is how the mentality of those in government thinking it alright to spy on on people of their own nation gets started. It is a lack of trust. A lack of trust that starts a home.

A lack of trust where people don't have the courage to

You want to invade someone else privacy.

That is no difference between immorality a cop searching a person's home, and a parent searching their teenager.

You want to get proof before confronting you son, because you don't trust you son AT ALL!

Because you believe the government commercials that it is okay invade someone else's privacy.

This is how some of the major problems in our nation got started. A COMPLETE LACK OF TRUST AT HOME!!

This level of decay in the morality of this nation disgusts me.

You ask your son point blank, weather he is looking at porn, without going behind his back, one of two things will happen.

Either he will admit to you, and you can discuss, like a parent and child should.

Or, he will lie. If he lies to you, he will likely quit looking at porn for a while.

If you present that you went behind his back, you will have a make argument with your son that will likely lead to more problems THAT ARE WORSE THAN WHAT YOU WORRY ABOUT NOW!!

You son may need you in a life or death situation for himself in the future, and if he cannot trust you now, he will not trust you then, which will make the situation he will be in worse.

I watched my younger brother sever all ties with my family due to a situation like what you are creating.

I saw how it started, I don't want to see that happen again.

I miss him a lot, but there is no way I can contact him.
