| good luck chuck And I thought an old skool book burning event was passe. But guess what, it's now digital book burning, and they are flying around the world like those little green monsters in Ghostbusters. Don't cross the stream.
I guess they never got the memo on how China's Great Wall (say an economy 100 of times bigger) can't effectively keep information out.
BTW my calculator has more processing power than the computers that sent a man to the moon (and yes Iceland was still fishing back in those days--not sending a man to the moon), and I guarantee after the "meltdown" of Iceland's economy they won't have the cash to even scratch the surface of this and my $40 RPN calculator isn't going to cut it.
This will simply make bitcoin the default porn currency even faster L)

Mullica Hill, NJ | said by Snakeoil:I recall a conversation I had with a co-worker years ago. because of her religious beliefs, any nudity was sexual in nature.
IE bathing, showering, changing clothes, it was all sexual. She said that we need to keep covered at all times, unless you seek to cause another person to have immoral thoughts.
Good to see the USA doesn't own the market on that way of thinking.
I do not need a good looking person to be uncovered to have immoral thoughts though. That is why I find that argument from some people rather funny. Sure nudity and porn make things more fun, But the human mind can connect dots and find good looking people even under baggy clothing.

| Impossible It's impossible to ban porn off the internet. One particularly regligious and conservative friend told me on time that he thought porn should be banned, and of course I had to explain to him that we have something called free speech and the first amendment here in the US, but anywhere in the world, at a practical level, it would be impossible. Even if you blocked known porn sites, you'd be in a never ending game of whackamole. And then there's VPN, Bittorrent, FTP, Usenet, should I keep going? | |

1 edit | I don't watch porn I am against porn and I find porn offensive. Enough said...
I personally think there should be a requirement that porn sites have coding to trip filtering software installed on computers and networks. Current filtering software only blocks porn sites registered with the filtering software vendor but if they required porn sites to have coding inserted by the the porn site host, then the software would be automatic and not need the database to block such sites. If I had kids, I would like to filter their Internet.
Also, with the filtering software, wholesome websites have been blocked and the coding of porn sites by hosts would eliminate that problem. | |

| Winner of greatest level of futility award goes to.... I admit it, I'd rather my life had never had porn in it.
But I also wish I didn't eat as much chocolate too.
And I dislike my level of swearing as well.
The thing is, the reason I think most have a problem with porn is the real problem, not the porn itself.
Let's examine what porn really is. It's the visual depiction of sex.
It's just sex until you add religion.
I'd rather we banned religion. And made it so we didn't need porn. Because frankly, I'd rather be able to say gee I'd really like to get off right now, so do I go get a case of beer, or do I visit my favourite 'working girl' and let her give me a great blow job?
I'm fairly sure, if sex was something you could purchase with the same level of interest as a case of beer, sex would not cost as much, have no social stigma, and we wouldn't have porn.
And life would be so much better without religion. | |

San Luis Obispo, CA | Re: Winner of greatest level of futility award goes to.... Religion is a human reaction to answer the un-answerable. This goes back to pre-history times-say 7-10 thousand years ago. Humans back then didn't have the understanding of the ways of nature, hence the creation of "Gods" controlling their enviornment. "Who Mornes for Anodis" is THE classic Star Trek OG TV show that explains this rather well. You want to know who God is? Take a GOOD look in the mirror in the morning....and you'll have your answer. | |

| That and religion tends to be fear focused, nothing like playing on people's fears of the unknown, and fear based to force obedience, nothing like threats of something really bad to make people behave.
I think the problem with sex, is it feels too good for one thing, but, the simple act of sex, in addition to being a lot of fun generally results in babies if done effectively, which when you look at it correctly is the creation of life, which is normally reserved for the gods, and thus, being able to do so, create life that is, tends to pull the curtain away from the wizard and expose him as a fraud.
Of course they need to have all sorts of dogma related to sex. Otherwise, people would tend to think they are too godlike having too much capacity to do anything god can do.
I didn't need god to be born, and I was not in need of god to have my son either. I don't need god to grow and apple. Nor do I require god to modify an animal.
And I merely need a brain that is willing to think long enough to solve problems in the now, that can be solved in the later. Some problems just take longer to solve than others. Just like some puzzles are easier than other. | |
