Sue them? For what losses? The pain and suffering of not having internet? They're not under any legal obligation to continue providing you service. If they were trying to bill you for overage charges, then maybe. But they're just cutting off service.
Sure if you are an idiot and don't know how to control yourself.
Agreed. Like most things, porn should be in moderation.
Too much pleasure is a bad thing if it means you are addicted to it (porn, money, etc.) and it affects your life and relationships. Therefore pleasure is good as long as it is received responsibly.
Agreed again.
Taking pleasure in something that was not meant solely for that (sex) is not a good thing because you devalue it.
However, there's one gaping flaw with that reasoning (the Natural Law argument). It means all sex that's not for the purpose of procreation is bad. So I hope you never use birth control or condoms.
Side note: Wow, you think taking pleasure in sex is bad? I feel sad for your wife if you have one.
Endorsing that behavior (watching porn) devalues sex as well and in addition you end up taking pleasure in yourself.
I think the largest value of sex comes from its pleasure. If everybody had a kid every time they had sex... wow.
It's a little bit akin to vanity in my opinion. We wouldn't want kids to prefer pleasuring themselves over someone else (when watching porn)
I've yet to meet anyone who prefers porn to actual sex. And most of my friends watch a LOT of porn (that's why I'm on slashdot).
not to mention the fact that they are abusing the method we were given to procreate in order to accomplish their materalistic goals.
As I said above, that makes all contraception is immoral. But to take it from a different angle... what purpose does the clitoris serve in your world-view? Its only function is to make sex pleasureful for the woman.
I hate killing as much as the next guy, but if 300 humans were throwing rocks at my wife and stealing my food to the point where I might not be able to feed my children that night, after a while I'd start shooting the humans. I sure as hell wouldn't put up with it from a monkey.

I'd agree with you if you'd been talking about XHTML 1.1. XHTML 1.0 SHOULD be served as application/xhtml+xml, but MAY be served as text/html when the compatibility guidelines are met. XTHML 1.1, however, SHOULD NOT be served as text/html. Even then, it's not a MUST NOT. But since it's a MAY for 1.0, i think calling it "incorrect" is a bit harsh.
May, as you probably know, but just incase, is defined by RFC2119 as:
MAY This word, or the adjective "OPTIONAL", mean that an item is
truly optional. One vendor may choose to include the item because a
particular marketplace requires it or because the vendor feels that
it enhances the product while another vendor may omit the same item.
An implementation which does not include a particular option MUST be
prepared to interoperate with another implementation which does
include the option, though perhaps with reduced functionality. In the
same vein an implementation which does include a particular option
MUST be prepared to interoperate with another implementation which
does not include the option (except, of course, for the feature the
option provides.)
And, unfortunately, I feel the marketplace requires it.
Or, would you rather the MS Office document standard to remain closed?
OOXML is still closed. When the spec has things like "This element means to parse it like Word97 with all of Word97's obscure bugs", that's not an open standard. What we're opposed to is having garbage like that officially recognized as an open standard.
Oh, I remember. To ASSUME makes you think things are mail fraud when they're not, because you really have no knowledge of the relevant laws, but you think you do! How could I have forgotten. I like your version too tho.:)

hehe... gaping... deep deep... rectum... i mean rectify... hehe
i need to get some sleep
So we should avoid something simply because it's pleasureful? Oh, wait, just saw your sig. That explains it. Carry on.

What was that thing they used to say when I was a kid about assuming?
Can you open an XHTML 1.0 web page designed now in an HTML 3.2 browser from 1997 (10 years ago)?
XHTML 1.0? If you're careful to follow the backward compatibility guidelines.
XHTML 1.1? Not if served properly.
XHTML 2 (whenever it comes out)? no.
So you're the one who smushed my poor dog Patches. :(
And yet I get modded "Funny". lol I give up.
