Everything has an effect on people. When you eat something new and it turns out to taste really good, chances are you'll want to eat it again. Same thing for porn. I don't believe you can that porn will harm everyone in general. A lot of people drink the occasional glass of alcoholic beverage. Some drink a glass each day without being alcoholics. It's even recommended by physicians. I know there is a broath grey area between enjoying something and being addicted to it and not a clear line.
I believe that the worse effect (I exclude addiction since it's a bit of a seperate topic) of porn are limited to children and teenagers (more accuratly said: virgins). Porn give a more of a caricaturistic image of sex and without experience it's pretty hard to see what's real and what's acting.
The second effect is loss of sensitivity. You'll become used to it and need stronger material. But this is strongly correlated to addiction.
Then there are guns. IMO guns don't make people sociopaths. They do make someone feel more powerfull and there lays their danger. Honestly you can kill a person with a stick or even a rock, but those don't give you the same feeling of power a gun does. Feeling more powerful doesn't make someone worse or better, it does makes it more likely that they'll respond to a situation. Without a gun a person might hide under the bed when someong breaks into his house, while with a gun he'll might try to scare the burglar away.
Come movies and videogames. Honestly if you start killing people because you saw/played a violent game or movie, you could have triggered on anything. You team loosing, someone stealing your parking spot, someone stepping on your foot.
Now how about this: After each football match there is police around to prevent people from starting to fight with supporters of the other team. You've got organised hooligans. Yet I've never seen a police force waiting outside a cinema waiting for the end of a violent movie and the following clash. Strange isn't it how people talk about banning violent movies and games because of their influence yet don't speak of banning sport games which have proven to cause violence every time.
You miss the clear difference between the two: Those skeletongirls are displayed everywhere. Every magazine, TV commercial or billboard displays them. Pretty much everybody sees one of these adds each day in a public enviroment. This way it's made to look as if it's the standard.
While porn is something more private. Don't know about you but I haven't till now seen anyone looking at porn in public.
Method one is very similar to stoning in which the subject her buried up to a certain point, but their head remains exposed.
I was thinking of having another body part exposed. More pain, less early death. Keeps the people busy for days.
Dieing from 12500 cans to the crotch, now that's a deterrent!

You're asuming your toilet wouldn't be right in the center of the explosion. I mean if I would attack your country, the first thing I'd do is a full out asssault on every toilet. Then food drops followed by food-with-laxative drops. All that is left then is to wait until every soldier blows up because of the need and inability to go. Then the survivers get to clean the whole mess up in exchange for toilet priveledges. Trust me, they'll be very eager at this point.
All that then is left is a nation wide Wash-Your-Hands-Campagne.
I use that technique all the time.
Here I got some intresting downloads for you:
My whole collection of the latest movies: '1'
All microsoft programs: '0'
A working beta of Duke4Ever: '0'
ISO's of the 20 best games of 2005 and 2006: '1'
Every MP3 you could find on the net: '1'
pron: 12.250.000 images, 512.054 movies: '0'
I'll upload the decompress util as soon as I got that last bug out of it. But you could finish the downloads in the mean time.
You're assuming free choice. In most 3th world countries, they don't have reliable contraceptives due to their high prices (relative to the income of the local people).
You're correct that western culture tends to have small families, but this is only because we can afford "protection". Without our anticonceptives we too would have families of around 10 children no matter how much the wife would like to focus on her cariere.
And trust me on this: women have the need for sex just like men. They are just better at hiding it and more picky. Celebacy is not much of an option in this.
It already is. I've got your printout and it's kinda funny with some unpleasant details (You wouldn't believe to what detail they can predict things). Oh, and look out next monday, you better don't... well, I suppose I better not change your future as it upsets the administrator, but I suppose I could let you know not to wear something white, or anything that would be ruined by blood stains. Don't worry, you'll live. Kinda.
But don't feel upset now. The 12-year recovery afterwarts is worth it, the artifical leg is really cool, not to mention how handy your new robo-arm is going to be in the earthquake right after the tornado blew apart your new house. Luckily for you, you will be outside trying to reach the police station to report your car being stolen.
"Don't worry, we're going to give the energy away for free but we'll make up for it in volume."
Don't lauch! A whole lot of websites don't charge their users anything. They make their profits through ads. The company could modulate some commercials on their electricity so people could hear them instead of the hum some devices produce. That might make AC-filters illegal ofcourse.
Luckily we can't feed everyone. Otherwise we would have twice as much people next year.
Solving world hunger comes with a price. Would you accept forced birth control if it solves the issue of famine?
Four CRATES, yes WOODEN CRATES, three of which were completely empty.
You know that discussion some time ago on how computergames use too much wooden crates and that it makes them unrealistic? This changes the whole thing doesn't it?
beer vulcano? Sounds pretty Brittish. I sure hope it has a beer fountain, because I don't like the idea of spending the rest of eternity drinking warm beer.
You didn't got the memo on the anexation? They mentioned the UK, but I guess it's easy to miss among all those other countries. IMO Bush should have written "the world" rather than every country seperatly. I suppose he wanted to show of his new map of the world or something.

Dibbs on the movie rights!
Yes and the tools let you convert to the ODF as well.
It can. Just have an officer follow him around 24h a day. Hope he can pee while being watched.

The female option could have the ATR* function. That could be very painful for the male user.

Me too. Well, I wouldn't call it "influenced" as much as "traumatised". My mind still has the reflecs to block any images after I click a link here.

IMO these days sins are replaced by addictions. In the old days of yore anything fun used to be a sin, now they call it an addiction.
beer vulcano? Sounds pretty Brittish. I sure hope it has a beer fountain, because I don't like the idea of spending the rest of eternity drinking warm beer.
that depends. Does the Flying Spagetti Monsters realm of the afterlife have colleges? Perhaps we should call that place Spageaven.
Easy: the only website you get to access would be the one from guatanamo bay.
