I've gone through this sort of thing before....

1. I have no idea what filters work for games. Does this even matter if you're not going to be playing games that he doesn't know about?

2. Best filter... I wouldn't know. A lot are obnoxious. I would recommend sitting down with your parents and carefully explaining that you are mature enough to not need boatloads of parental controls, but allow them to choose the software. They're more likely to not go overboard if you can show them you can handle it.

3. Isn't this the same question as the last?

4. It's possible. Instead of wracking your brains to avoid it, just accept it and deal with it. Be a man.

As for the whole "why do parents get filters!!!"...

Internet filters aren't bad things, and they don't mean your parents don't trust you. They're trying to keep you from things on the Internet that you shouldn't be getting into, and as long as it doesn't go overboard, i.e., way too much "accountability" software to monitor software, it's generally okay, and in the end, you'd be grateful for it.

Of course, I don't speak for everyone here. :P
