Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation
schwit1 writes "The Washington Times reports, 'The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency's inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars.' One senior executive at the National Science Foundation spent at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer, records show. The cost to taxpayers: up to $58,000. Why aren't they running a product like Websense?"
no, not using gov't computers for porn. that's fine by me...
that the guy almost used a "think of the children" defense for his actions. now THAT's fucked up.
these young women are from poor countries and need to make money to help their parents
It's because he needed something to tug on your heartstrings.
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
Pretty sure that is not what he's been tugging on.
And if you add to this the fact that other branches of Judeo-Christian idiocy, i.e. the Muslim-medieval kind, are even more rabidly insane, the majority of human societies on Earth are, to use a topic-relevant term: fucked up beyond description, with no relief in sight.
Sexual taboos might seem an idiocy to you, but there was a time when they were necessary and beneficial. They were intended to prevent the birth of unwanted children. Societies with a strict sexual culture were more efficient than those without them, because the survival rate of children was much higher.
Now, when we have effective and widely available contraceptives, the practical value of sexual taboos is now much diminished. It's a pity that many people do not recognize *why* they exist.
Those who would give up liberty to obtain working drivers, deserve neither liberty nor working drivers.
