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?

So you believe that honesty and trust are outdated concepts? All your preaching of "morality" and you don't even understand the meaning of the word.
I prefer the term classic liberal as that is the true label. Although classical liberalism built on ideas that had already developed by the end of the eighteenth century, it advocated a specific kind of society, government and public policy required as a result of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization.[2] Notable individuals who have contributed to classical liberalism include Jean-Baptiste Say, Thomas Malthus, and David Ricardo.[3] There was a revival of interest in classical liberalism in the twentieth century led by Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman.[4] The term classical liberalism was applied in retrospect to distinguish earlier nineteenth-century liberalism from the newer social liberalism.[5] The phrase classical liberalism is also sometimes used to refer to all forms of liberalism before the twentieth century, and some conservatives and libertarians use the term classical liberalism to describe their belief in the primacy of economic freedom and minimal government. It is not always clear which meaning is intended. Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! if you told the typical republican tea partier your views on war, torture, taxes, 911, etc , theyd declare you a 'librul' anyway, & you could insist they add 'classical' to it. of course they would have no clue as to what it meant :-)
"if I have all faith so as to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing." 1 Cor 12:31—13:13 stupidity is everywhere.

Attaboy. Hold your ground. Basically I am on your side, and not because I am prude, as I am not. The Pornography industry subsists on degradation. Degradation of the girls who are the "object" and the customer as well. There is nothing wrong with sex, it's good sweaty fun. However, pornography plays on the darker side of human relations and as such it unwholesome. Not because represents sex, but because it misrepresents sex. I could get more graphic but won't. However, doing his girlfriend, or in this day and age vice versa, is less problematic than pornography.

Firefox cache/history is in the following location in Windows: C:Documents and Settings/"username"/Local Settings/Application Data/MozillaFirefox/Profiles/"number-character-string".default/Cache The best way to read it, is to simply open Firefox and type in "about:cache" to see what comes up. Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 has gotten really good at cleaning up after itself. You can go to Tools > Clear Recent History and use a drop down arrow to clean out your viewing for the last hour, two hours, etc., and on up to everything. A really smart person would only dust their tracks for the time they were doing their nefarious deeds. A 16 year old is likely to go for the shotgun approach and dust everyone's tracks for the past 6 months. Doing the "about:cache" would probably show you the difference. For instance, if you saw a history through Sunday and then everything past that has suddenly vanished. Check the Firefox log again on Friday and see the log goes back to Thursday and everything past that has now mysteriously vanished. Not only that, but Firefox (think starting with 3.4 or 3.5) has a feature called Private Browsing. Tools > Start Private Browsing and when you are done you can either close Firefox or Tools > Stop Private Browsing. Your tracks for that session are supposedly blown away. Another end-round is that your home router may have a log enabled that is keeping track of the last 50-100 sites visited. Get your router name and model, hit Google and see anyone knows about logs for it and how to set them if possible. My Linksys has it turned off by default. The only catch to this is if you or anyone is running Tor or some kind of anonymizer, the router may not see the sites really being visited. Otherwise, you may be looking at having to find some kind of keylogger program.
"What began in Russia will end in America."- 1930, Elder Ignatius of Harbin, Manchuria.
after reading this thread, i feel guilty about my comment. i do think, however, if you've asked your son and he told you no that it would be best to take him at his word rather than checking on his computer. that, to me, would be like reading his diary or mail. should he learn that you did that, i would think that would be more damaging than his viewing pornography.
Oh my you would really hate me and think I am out of line!!! But then again when it comes to MY KIDS I don't really care what you or anyone else really thinks. I will and would watch my kids like a hawk. If I do not know what they are doing then I can't correct them. You must have been quite the angelic kid when you were growing up because most of the parents I know do not want their kids to mess up and go in the direction they did when they were teens. We want better for our kids. But then again parents were not to bright in the 60's, 70's, and even early 80's. They were clueless. As long as a parent is legally responsible for their kids they have every right to know what they are doing. Who is paying for the internet? Who is paying for the electricity? Who is paying for the home? Who has paid for the kid his whole life and invested much time and love in the kid? Who will be heartbroken and care if that kid is in trouble? Who will the kid call when trouble is there? You or their parent? You know everyone does not watch porn. I would not want to be with someone who had those types of sexual problems. I would not want my kids to have those type of problems. It is not healthy. I have seen a few marriages and relationships break up over this. And usually the dudes that are watching the porn are inadequate.....at least according to what I have heard.
Someone should have warned you that PaulCJ is a 3rd Grader.
"Politics and Religion are the building blocks of slavery and oppression. Greed is the mortar that bonds them" and bankers are the masons with trowels in hand !
I'll cop to the former, and some of the latter. Since you are only slightly my elder I'll follow your lead. ;-)

There were a few years when I couldn't appeal to my son's better angels, and thwarting my wishes and winning the approval of his peers was his reason to live. You can either take the laptop or let him pass through the period where he does what he must. Nothing you do will decide if he is to be a lifelong porn addict. I dare say that the question is already decided regardless of what you do now. If you tell him that he's on his own and he will suffer the consequences and stop verbalizing your concern for him, after an initial period of celebration he may begin to worry about what unseen hazards befall him, especially without your guidance and concern. Nothing will drive the point home more than when his peers inevitably pile up on the rocks. And it may be that nothing you say will alert him to the dangers before that happens and opens his eyes. If your son is smart enough to grasp the abstract then you may explain it once-the objectification of women in porn can destroy a young man's ability to ever bond and love someone, and if that happens he will forfeit one of life's greatest gifts. No woman he could ever love would want to spend her wedding night spinning in a Chinese basket job. And if he ruins his young soul he may have to pay a Filipino hooker with 10,000 satisfied customers to fulfill his needs. If he's at the point where he knows everything then this means that you cannot protect him from certain dangers that he does not yet recognize. And, if he's operating a motor vehicle then you should really be concerned. In my state broken hearted parents and kids erect roadside memorials at each location where carloads of kids have died. These ominous monuments carry more weight than all the lectures I've ever given. Some kids will still make the same old mistakes just as some parents will buy cars and pay the insurance for kids who are clearly not mature enough for the responsibility. I could only hope that my son was among the fraction of those who saw the signs and flowers and got the message. He'll be 25 next month and out of the statistical danger zone.
The letter of the law is too cold and formal to have a beneficial influence on society. Whenever the tissue of life is woven of legalistic relations, there is an atmosphere of moral mediocrity, paralyzing man's noblest impulses._Solzhenitsyn
If you are watching them like a hawk, then you would know what they are doing. Without trust there cannot be family. And those government anti-drug commercials are poison in they state lies that it is okay not to trust one another among a family.
Do all of you know about this? Ah.. so you're right. So that's why Google have the option switching Safe Search off! And it's amazing what one can see - not only can we see women's breasts, but their intimate area further down. I see there are now women who even shave that area. There's even durty pictirs of men having sex with those women! And videos too! lmao ;)

Well you lost christine in post #80. So that leaves Lod. BTW, can't you stand on your own legs voicing a personal opinion without some sort of phantasmal, flag-waving requirement to cheer you on? You were trounced on this thread. And brutally beaten to a pulp of mere fluid DNA.
well said. imo, that's the best advice as to how to handle the situation.
As opposed to you, whom has only throwns insults at every chance possible. By not answering my question, you admit that you believe that honesty and trust are outdated concepts. I pity you for a number of reasons. Including the above. Another reason, buckeroo, is you love to inflate your sad ego by pinging several people when you reply to me. Just because you ping them, you automatically think they agree with you. Unless they state otherwise, they probably don't give a damn about what either of us say. And you dragging them into this argument only makes you even a more sadder excuse for a person than you already are.
Insults? Where on this thread has one insult been thrown? You are misplacing criticism about your own attempt to force some sort of moral opinion when none is required. But, please feel free to review the entire thread and show one insult that you feel I elicited towards you or anyone.
I see you cannot even read. Here are some of the insults you have stated. Post 19: You imposed some fucked-upped dialogue that is reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition. Post 25: 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. Post 43: You are a fool, PaulCJ.
But my writing capability is at question since you feel I have thrown insult(s) towards you. Again, show me the insults.
See post 92.
Post 25: 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. Post 43: You are a fool, PaulCJ. Those comments aren't insults; collectively they are ATTA_BOYZ about yourself and your awkward capability and capacity to see yourself. You take it all wrong ... those kind remarcks are just my considerate way of suggesting you are a cretin. Relax and take it easy.
Yes, they are insults. You really do want to debate the meaning of "is". If you don't realize what demeaning statements are than you really are not ready to even understand what morality is.
Well so far, I have been very kind and thoughtful to you, as though I were petting a dawg before throwing them a bone, now however, I am re-thinking my strategy altogether. So what is your take on morality? Do you feel you are well versed in these moral principles and characteristics to discuss the subject that you continuously want to bring up in an intelligent way? I don't think so..... so far, you want to impose some sort of iron-will that goes nowhere with me. But lets hear you take, anyways.
That was an excellent post, Dawg.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. :-o

Without trust there cannot be family. And those government anti-drug commercials are poison in they state lies that it is okay not to trust one another among a family. You just keep on blindly trusting everyone!!! You are very naive. Are you even a parent and how old are you children. If you do have kids you do know that you will be held legally responsible for their actions. We are a family and a good one. You do obviously not understand or see that outside influences are consistently bombarding our children. It takes time and maturity for children to consistently make the right decisions. I have seen children that do not have the guidance and the parental mentality of let them handle it (before they are ready). Bad decisions, or peer pressure can ruin a kid for the rest of their lives. I have invested too many years, tears, love, time, effort, and money in my kids just to let some loon and word play games try to manipulate or dictate my position. I have a 19 year old son making good decisions and who is very responsible. Guess what ….he did not get into that dumb stuff. He was busy with Christian Karate, school, work, youth group, and other productive activities.
Thanks Christine. My kids and their futures will hopefully bring me joy because they will be happy, well adjusted, and doing productive things that enhance their lives.
see X's post. LOL.
The only problem with that is what if it is your kid that is the one that ends up on the bottom of the rock pile. That is a pain that no parent wants to see or experience and most will attempt to prevent that from happening. What you say makes much sense but some kids don't get it as early as others and therefore need more. Later they will appreciate it if you keep them out of the bottom of the rock pile when they see where there friends who have chosen that path are.
LOL! Ain't that the truth. If he's posting on LP or FR than I know it's a lost cause. He's already a degenerate.

Wow! Yeah, I know all males supposedly look at it, but it isn't healthy for anyone, male or female, to look at.

I agree, spying on your son is not a good idea.

Deleting it would not stop it from being retrieved from a hard drive. It would have to be totally wiped several times, approx 7, before you can be safe that it can't be detected any longer. Also wiping your hard drive will not stop the government from knowing what you have downloaded or the sites you have visited unless you use a proxy the government is not spying on already.
God is always good!
Actually it is the other way around. Those that look at porn often have a much higher chance of turning into serial killers than those that don't. Ask serial killers of women, most of them will admit porn started their decent into depravity.
God is always good!
I think you should go with his answer. If he is lying then there is not much you can do to stop him anyway. He can always go to a friends house and look at all the porn he wants to.
God is always good!
This is correct. He finds out you are spying on him and it will make him lying about viewing porn seem minor by comparison. Take him at his word.
God is always good!
see my #80
His son. But anyway, I think it is a bad idea because it creates a emotional rift between parent and child.

i prefer the label paleoconservative. most people never heard of that though. it will confuse them.much of the general public, when they hear the term libertarian, conjure up someone who they think just doesnt like rules.
Classical liberalism is a political ideology that developed in the nineteenth century in Western Europe, and the Americas. It was committed to the ideal of limited government and liberty of individuals including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and free markets.[1] It drew on the economics of Adam Smith, a psychological understanding of individual liberty, natural law and utilitarianism, and a belief in progress. Classical liberals established political parties that were called "liberal", although in the United States classical liberalism came to dominate both existing major political parties.[1]
