Disclaimer: I have a 6yo boy and my baby-girl will be born next April. IMHO, teenagers are less well-socialized because parents don't bother to know what's happening in school, and high-school officials are very, very lazy. Good schools make well-socialized kids. Teenagers are less acquainted with work because parents fill them with money. I was the son of a low-to-middle-class blue-collar worker (my father started his career as a dairy products manufacturing worker) and I work since I was 14. If the economics are bad, buy some scrap wood and make a boat together with your children -- they can do the heavy work while you are at the job. So, yes, it's all the parents' fault. I intend firmly to apply everything my parents taught me and no "hanging around" for my kids, sorry. And like me, I know they will beat the crap out of anyone who think they're nerdy. But then again, I'm posting here...
It's all the Foundation series (unless it doesn't fit). Since Susan Calvin until the Second Foundation. Susan Calvin -- amongst other stuff, creates mentalic-powers robot for the first time (Liar!) and destroys it. Jessie Baley was a fundamentalist. The Solarian woman (Gladia Delmarre) that was a murder suspect. Her Nemesis, Vasilia Aliena, super-roboticist, created R. Giskard Reventlov. Valona (the girl that saves the Earthman's ass) in the Currents of Space. You mentioned Arkady Darrell and R. Dors Venabili, but you forgot Raych's wife (Manella -- saved Hari Seldon's ass, too), Raych's daughter (Wanda, important psychohistorian and had telepathic powers like Arcadia) All those woman had important, in-the-20th-century-male-only jobs (except for Gladia, who was a plastic artist, and Valona, who was an agro-worker). And if they (except for R. Dors) were not "fierce", it was because the Old Doctor was always a romantic.
AFAIK most of the Big-Extended-Foundation-Saga heroes are girls. Including the girl-robot-Hari-Seldon-wife (R. Dors Venabili)

I don't know about USofAn constitution, but our constitution gives people the right to privacy. That means IOW that I do have the right to commit ANY consensual intimate act with ANY person that is capable of giving consent and with ANY inanimate objects of my lawful possession; zoophilia / necrophilia / pedophilia not included because I would be trampling on OTHER's (animal or people) rights. So, despite of the costumes of the populace of the place I live I would like to be able to have consensual oral sex with seven women if it's alright to you.
would answer "no" to all of the above questions, in *all* circumstances. It's my firm opinion that:
1. every average modern person should find sex acts depiction appealing and interesting; 2. what is the applicable law? why should legislation apply to consenting intimate acts of people? 3. every single smut has serious artistic value IMO.
And I know *lots* of people that think similarly to me, at least WRT #3.
and then they all unleash their weapons and only true pan-breeds like myself will survive (white, black, yellow, red -- take your pick, I have it in my family) THAT would be nice, because it would be _far_ more difficult to have prejudices based on any appearance trait:-)
Porn can be definable to you, but to other people -- oh, the problem is always other people -- it's not. Some think nude ladies/guys is porn. Some think softcore hollywood-type simulated-sex scenes is porn. Some think only hardcore genitals-showing sex is porn. Some think a nude child is porn. Some think a semi-nude child (a 4yo girl in her diapers only) is porn. Some think... You got the gist? Who gets to define, and enforce, what is porn and what isn't? You? I'm sorry. I prefer the rule "each parent defines and controls in the manner he thinks viable what is or is not appropriate for his/her child to see/listen/watch -- within a minimum 'child abuse protection' body of laws."
you even did not see the dept. this article comes from ("the i-can't-define-pr0n-but-i-know-it-when-i-see-it dept.") There IS NO Porn. A breast cancer site shows women (some of them beautiful) touching and massaging their own boobs. Is a Victoria's Secret catalog porn? To prohibit something, you should be able to define it first. One absurd example: my son, one year and a half ago (he was four) took all his clothes by the pool; my wife snapped a picture of him as he had done so. Some jurisdictions consider possessing a picture of a nude 4yo as child porn, with some stiff criminal penalties. Does this seem reasonable to you?
wasting valuable bandwidth sending out DNS requests for which our DNS server have perfectly good responses cached, then you'll have to pay for it. Got it?
(I'm out of the ISP trade for a couple of years now) But I'll give you this: on both ISP's I worked, and in 3 others I consulted for, any packet going from a costumer to port-53 would not go anywere but our caching DNS server. There was simply no good reason not to, and we pinched some pence in bandwidth. Now, I know other ISPs do not do this -- out of ignorance (that they could save some $ doing it) but the point I was responding to in the GPP was "And everybody uses the DNS servers of their upstream ISP", to which my response would be "everybody should be, whether they want it or not -- unless they are ready to pay for it."
Most (98%+) of DNS traffic is handled out of the root domain servers. Many ISPs I know of (including the two I worked at) blocked/transparently-redirected outgoing port-53 packages.
