But, yeah, pretty much, those designations don't mean much of anything, and pretty much things are already not organized without search engines and indexes. Now you are learning!
With some exceptions, of course; for instance if a site has a.mil address, we know it is for the military. But the fact that it had a.mil address didn't make it easier to find. It is also a special case since normal civilians can't get a.mil address.
As for.org,.net,.com, etc., anyone can register them and there is no regulation whatsoever on what kind of sites they can be. In the end there is no real difference between them. Now we are just going to be adding.xxx to the list. It doesn't end up mattering at all.
Here's a serious question. Someone gets online, lotion in hand, and wants to find some porn. Not just any porn, but porn that is right for them, and really gets their juices flowing. Other than guessing, which you don't need a.xxx domain for, how do they find it, without using a search engine or another site that links to it? How does.xxx on the site name help at all in finding the site?
Nobody is going to type in a random character string and add.xxx to try to find porn. The idea that ".xxx" will make it easier to find porn is a fallacy. It will still need to be indexed and linked to just like current sites.
Do you seriously think the internet is like a grocery isle? It doesn't have physical boundaries, or a section called "Porn" that you can tilt your head and see. You need to have a website or something that indexes them. At that point it doesn't matter if it has.xxx or.com in it.
You seriously have a horrible grasp of what the internet is and how it works.
Thanks for bringing the discussion down to youtube comments level, you childish cunt.
Drawing abortion is just retarded.
You seem to have a habit of only seeing things in black and white, and forcing everything into a false dichotomy. You are also the kind of person who probably thinks that there is only one correct way to think, which conveniently happens to be the way that you do
Is furnitureporn.com actually porn? Some people actually might get off on that. What about burka fetishists? Those people actually exist. These people get off on completely covered women. It is porn to them.
excusing yourself from the debate just makes you a cowardly asshole, standing on the sidelines does not mean you are morally superior. its just a cop out. take a fucking stand, whether on pornography, euthanasia, religious fundamentalism, free speech, abortion, etc.: grow a backbone, don't run and hide, and take a fucking stand on grey areas in this world
You are funny. How am I excusing myself from debate? What exactly am I avoiding to take a stand on? From where I see it, I'm standing for free speech, and against assholes like you.
Thank you, thank you very much for putting words into my mouth, and assuming so much about me. It lets me know that you are a simple minded, juvenile buffoon, and I would do well to ignore you in the future.
How does having a.xxx domain suffix make it easier to find the site?.xxx doesn't give the site special powers. Does having.org as the domain suffix make it easier for a charity to be found? Does.edu make it easier for a school to be found? Obviously, no. Either way you have to know the whole domain name, not just the suffix, and type it in your address bar or have it indexed by a search engine or something else. I'm just not buying that there is any economic incentive to the porn industry for having this.
-It is stupid to expect all porn to go to ".xxx".
-Therefore it doesn't make it easier to filter porn, it means your filters have to have one extra line for "block *.xxx". Technically, it is a little more work to block porn now than it was before.
-Who defines porn, anyway? What is it, exactly?
-The only reason it exists is to print money, and everyone is jealous that they can't do that
"xxx" is also a designation for alcoholic beverages, so I guess at least one of the producers of those will end up registering those sites eventually, if only to be clever.
Register yourname.xxx as your personal homepage, and give it out to all of your friends and coworkers! When they ask, "Umm, is this...", respond with, "You'll just have to go find out, now won't you?", and follow with a wink and a wry smile.
Of course, you always could, you know, if you wanted...
People who want flying cars are typically naive, and never expect anything to go wrong.
To put it in perspective, any piloted object, including an airplane, is basically a controlled missile. Depending on the fuel source, you could even consider it to have an explosive payload. Taking a car, making it fly, and giving it to everyone would require an enormous amount of planning and technology to make it safe enough. Nothing is ever 100% safe, but I'd like the chances of any flying vehicle hitting my house to not go up appreciably.
Completely automated flying cars with no manual override whatsoever is the only way I could even come close to being OK with a personal flying vehicle that comes anywhere near my house. Even then, when everyone has one, how long until people hack them to get manual control, which they will see as their "God given right"? Because, of course, they are good at flying, and can get away with it, right? Nobody will ever know!
I like the sky being relatively clear, thank you very much. We don't have the technology or the attitudes required for everyone to have responsible personal air travel yet. The more controlled missiles there are in the sky, the more likely one will malfunction, or be piloted by an idiot or an old person with bad vision and reaction time, or any other number of problems.
You are put words in his mouth. Did he say he wanted to ban anyone, ever from having a flying vehicle? No.
The idea of a flying car is stupid. I'm fine with the way air travel currently works. If you want to fly your own plane, you can, but you have to use an airport and follow a lot of rules.
Personally, I'm in favor of airplanes, in the current style we have now. Sure you can drive it home if it is designed for that, but never fly it home. But what is that? It isn't a flying car, it is an airplane that can drive on a road.
A flying car implies you can fly it wherever you want, even near homes, and fly to and from work with it. That is a retarded idea.

Two favorite destinations for a flying fuck are a rolling doughnut and the moooooooon!
