Gov't Report on Youth, Pornography, And The Internet

Posted by timothy on from the goldurn-interweb dept.

Frisky070802 writes "I don't recall seeing this already, nor am I finding it when searching for it ... the National Academies commissioned a report on how youths are affected by child pornography, predators, and other threats on the net. They've issued a 400-page report on their findings, which are very extensive, and were used to support the argument for the new kids.us domain."

    this sounds like stupid logic. god, if he didn't intend for people to kill, why did he allow guns, bombs, anthrax, etc to be invented? Why did god allow people to be raped? this is a list that could go on for a very long time. Of course I am not a believer in god so the list doesn't even apply to me.

    People get whacked in the head and do crazy things. The reason for them being whacked in the head is what people should try to understand, not fight against the things people do. Find the source and deal with it, not only the symptoms.

    It's not just that they're made of meat, it's that they're made of tasty meat.

    Look, it breaks down like this: things that want to be eaten taste good, things that don't want to be eaten taste bad. Fruit wants you to eat it, so it's nice and yummy. Some plants like juniper don't want to be eaten, so they taste bad.

    Cows taste good, therefore, they must want to be eaten. If they didn't, surely they would have evolved foul tasting meat by now. As soon as cows stop tasting good, I'll stop eating them and move on to tasier animals.

    Who the hell do you think you are, denying cows their wish to become delicious pastrami sandwiches?

    I was vegetarian for about ten years, vegan for about eight of those. I don't think that gives me any sort of position of authority on the issue, I just don't want you thinking that I haven't thought this out.

    On an unrelated note, I got a spam today featuring what appears to be a 16-year-old and an octagenarian having sex.

    To prove that he doesn't is impossible, to prove that he does isn't. (Just sincerely ask him)

    Real solid reasoning there.

    Anyway, I'm sure most people stopped reading at the first line, so I'll stop responding.

    No Mercy!!
