Sex is about expressing love between a man and a woman in a marriage relationship. There is NOT ONE PIECE OF PORN EVER MADE that promotes this attitude. Not one. Pornography reduces sex to nothing more than an animal act.
Proper sexual expression leads to bonded couples and healthy families. Animalistic sex leads to broken hearts, divorce, adultery, shattered lives and emotional ruin.
This is so stunningly obvious that the only people who argue it are those who have become nothing more than dogs in heat.
You mean other than the early sexualization of children? Or perhaps you mean the objectification of women. Or perhaps the desensitation to sexual violence. Or the stunting of emotional development?
The same asses who are defending the court decision are the same morons who will call you a repressive homophobic screwed up mess for hiding your children from their own sexuality.
The problem is, porn is addictive and it is destructive. There is NOTHING positive it adds to a society or culture, but the sexually depraved who crave for it and seek after it demand that we allow them to do so and call US the ones causing damage to society for calling their filthy habit for what it is.
--- In my experience, NPR is better at reporting the facts in a story ---
That tells me a lot. When was the last time you heard NPR discuss the improved economic condition in Iraq? When was the last time you heard NPR discuss the faked Paletstinian funerals?
Where is the NPR leading story on the propaganda piece Moore just put out with a list of all the factual errors Moore made?
Where is the NPR story on the scandal of awarding an Academy award to Bowling for Columbine when it had been shown that Moore deliberatey pulled quotes out of context, and spliced speeched from two different times nearly a year apart and presented them as happening at the same time?
These are not opinions, they are facts. Facts NOT reported by NPR. So, tell me again how NPR reports facts so well?
Actually, the law was specifically targeted toward porn sites that were doing PRECISELY that. Got a little secret for you, bub. Most porn sites specifically target teenage boys.
Now, for the tobacco industry, this is pure, unadulterated evil. But for the porn industry, it's a free speech issue. Welcome to the Loony Left.
The argument from the ACLU was that the methods used to shut down the guys pushing to kids would also restrict the guys pushing to adults.
The truth is, the headline looks biased to you because you're so far out in left wingnut land.
You said it as a joke, but it is significant. There is a percentage of humans who find playboy or hustler offensive and will NOT look at it for whatever reason (offense at exploitation of women, religious morality, etc.)
The point is that human beings can consciously choose to restrain their sexual impulses which makes humans unique in the animal kingdom. And which also makes this study pretty much irrelevant. You may be able to find ways to exploit people who have totally given in to their sexual desires, but you will be completely ineffective against people who choose to control or restrain their sexual appetites.
Which, of course explains completely why so many men stay faithful to their wives after child-bearing years even though the men are still virile.
It also completely explains why men remain faithful to barren women.
This load of crap is nothing more than the ranting of some social evolutionist who believes that humans are driven by nothing more than instinct and so tries to come up with some biological mechanism to explain why human men marry human women.
Only when including servers. If you just count desktop installations, Linux is such a distant third you have to use a microscope to see the market share.
The downside is skeletal deformity, fracture, breaks and joint wear and stress while the body is growing. Remember, this is a CHILD who is massively muscled. The bones are still pliable and growing. They aren't designed to handle this kind of muscle mass.
People joke about the kid lifting seven pound weights with his arm at the age of five. What about when he snaps his forearm by flexing the muscles a bit too strongly?
What out for skeletal deformity. This child's bones are still pliable and are growing. I predict there will be problems with fractures and misshapen bones as he continues to grow.
So. Genetic engineering by cross breeding for fifty years is good. Genetic engineering by gene insertion in the laboratory to produce the exact same result in 5 years is bad.
What's more important is the per capita ownership of personal computers in Europe. I'm guessing it's a fair bit lower than in the U.S. Also, what about internet service. If I remember right, France's is nationalized (as if this should surprise anyone), and is charged for with a flat monthly rate and per hour of use.
Also, what is per capita distribution of fast access internet in Europe? Again, I'm guessing it's a lot lower than the U.S.
Your work habits are the result of poor interface design in the Windows UI. Windows lends itself toward single tasking (one program full screen, others in the background in the taskbar). It's an inherently inefficient way to work, but most folks just don't know any better because Windows and Windows-like GUIs are all they have ever used.
The Mac interface, on the other hand, is designed for multi-tasking.
To use an analogy, Windows users are like a man at a desk. When he needs to work on something, he goes over to his filing cabinet, finds the appropriate file folder and lays it out on his desk.
When he wants to switch to a new task, he packs up the current project back into its file folder, puts it in the file cabinet and gets the new project.
The Mac user, on the other hand, grabs all the file folders for the projects he wants to work on at once, lays them out and shifts the papers around as needed. He then puts them all back when he's done.

That option was considered and rejected. You have to understand that Japan at the time was a terribly brutal military theocratic dictatorship. I've spoken to people who were alive at that time. One was 9-year old boy who would do bayonet practice every morning before classes. He was told that he had to throw himself at US soldiers, hopefully tying up several Americans as he died. This was to help the Japanese soldiers. Women were instructed to throw their babies at American GIs then throw themselves on the bayonets. This was better than having the GIs boil and eat their babies and rape and kill them, which is what they were told was common practice by Americans.
This same man related how his teacher committed ritual suicide because he fumbled over a word in the morning prayer to the emperor. He told many stories of students being beaten for looking or acting irreverent during morning prayers to the emperor.
I'm telling you, the religious fanaticism and anti-American hatred of WWII Japan makes Al Qaeda look like a women's summer reading group. You just don't drop a big bomb on the horizon and tell them: look what we can do, now surrender.
No, the spirit of the country had to be broken, and an unconditional surrender gained or we would have been right back in the same mess in another twenty years.
Tell that to the Americans alive during the time. For the first few years of the war NOBODY knew whether or not we could win it. The Japanese and Germans were quite successful. It wasn't until Midway that things started to turn in the Pacific.
It's easy for you to sit 50 years in the future, loook back and say, well, duh, the U.S. was never at risk.
You said books and papers. Those are rectangles. Now you're changing it to office objects. The fact you have to change the initial conditions shows your original argument is wrong and you know it.
Exactly. I've been petitioning for years to get rid of that stupid, outdated technology called the wheel. It's been around for, what, tens of thousands of years? Definitely time for an improvement.
Where in the heck are you getting your information? You stick a pencil (long, skinny cylindar) in an array of ten thousand randomly placed squares and rectangles, and a monkey would spot it in under a second.
It gets better. The human eye is incredibly good at differentiating shades of color. Put a hundred pencils in a rainbow pattern across the screen. Ask you user to pick the bluest one. It will take less than a second.
Here's another one: Put a thousand pencils on the screen in a random order. Put one in upside down, randomly. You user will find the upside down one in less than a second.
You have obviously never studied an iconic language like Japanese or Chinese. Japanese postal workers can scan an address with one glance; it's all pictograms. Americans have to use bar code systems and machines to get the same sorting speed.
The real business model for wi-fi is as a value-added service. It's a way to get customers to the store.
Some stores can also integrate the service with their business. For example, Barnes and Noble can let you search their catalogs via wi-fi and have an digital map of the store so you can find the exact spot of the book you are looking for in the store you are sitting in. You can read reviews for the book right there as well, and possibly have Barnes and Noble chat rooms with other wi-fi customers in other stores around the nation.
You can place special orders via the wi-fi, etc.
But, as far as wi-fi being a standalone business? I don't think so.
