Bzzt! Wrong! The porn industry by definition exploits women, that is its raison d'etre. The only distinctions to be made are different levels of exploitation, from exploiting women's naivety and greed all the way up to the use of force and drugs to ensure cooperation.
If religion decides your morals, i guess you should check out some issues..
Laura Schlesinger is a US radio personality who
dispenses sex advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that as an observant Orthodox Jew homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance.
The following is an Open Letter to Dr.
Laura penned by a US resident, which was posted on the Internet:
Dear Dr. Laura:
Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your radio show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advise from you, however, regarding some of the specific Bible laws and how to follow them.
a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her? She's 18 and starting University. Will the slave buyer continue to pay for her education by law?
c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify?....Why can't I own Canadians?
e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should this be a neighborhood improvement project?
f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? Would contact lenses help?
h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?
i) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to
curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.
Burglar making doorlocks?

Funny...
souds to me like the burglar trying to sell you burglar-proof locks.
do you really believe in this?
i don't.
NSA 's job is to collect intelligence, so they'll issue a Secure Linux they can't collect intelligence from, just to put themselves out of business. Sounds sensible.
yeah sure.
(i'm in france, (and IANAL) so, not concerned by DMCA, but, let's pretend.)
if i copyright my mails, and encrypt with, say, something as trivial as ROT13.
Now, say FBI, pursue me for what's in the mail (DeCSS?). Didn't they circumvent my encryption, and don't they fall under DMCA, for doing this?
(which would mean, i guess, their proofs couldn't be used in court, since they've been obtained by breaking the law...
duh...
don't they need application layer content filtering to get what they want?:-)
i mean, with virtual hosting, they can't filter on IP, since on the same IP you could get those nasty mp3s, and right next to this, some innocent homepage?
so they have to filter on the http request.
http transparent proxying for everyone.
now how *expensive* and painfully slow is that?:-)
i can't see how they can get *one* isp to do this.

You mean only the rich ones have rights?
