I've never seen such life-and-death sock-puppet modding in my life! Its as if this is the focal point of all that is liberal. The perfect liberal storm is getting denied a.XXX domain.
Mwahahahahaha! THE CHRISTIAN FUNDIES PWND U!
I see posts that basically amount to "fuck the fundies" getting +5 Insightful... How about +5 Insigtful to "BOW DOWN TO THE FUNDIES, SLASHDOT, U R POWERLESS TO STOP GOD!" MWAHAHAHAHA
Who did you think was controlling it, the French;)
Facilitating concerned parents is not the stated objective of TLDs.
I mean, would a.KKK domain make the lives of concerned minorities better using that logic? Or would a.GUN domain make concerned anti-war protestors better able to filter violence? Really?
San Francisco is one of the most free cities anywhere, using your type of "free".
The people there are free to poop in the street. Thats very free indeed! Luckily where I live, people are not that free yet.
Though many want to be that free... many want to be free from clothing. Free from having to choose the correct gender bathroom.
Imagine such oppressive societies, when you are "locked" into one religious fundies gender role all your life. You really just want to have the freedom to choose a different gender bathroom, or poop in a trash can even!

Whats the matter, Slashdot? Arbitrary govt regulation got you down? Why don't I hear all the advocates of the.XXX TLD applauding this effort...? Seems to me the technical challenges are roughly the same, and so are the moral "goals" of the project, right?
Whats the matter, Slashdot? Had a change of heart? Or was.XXX advocacy really about forcing porn into the mainstream like I told you it was?
I just got Trauma Center: Under the Knife last week and it is one of the most refreshing games I've played in a long time.
The exercise of "virtually" operating on someone turns out to be GUT WRENCHING. I mean, I have a new respect for sugeons and what they do. They must have nerves of steel.
And that moment, that moment when you first pick up a scalpel and you are told "cut them open, we're going in"... there is an unbelievable psychological barrier you have to overcome. "My god, I'm going to cut this person, and they trust me to do it".
Am I being overly dramatic? No... I have been playing video games for 20 years and am hard pressed to think of another game that made me so concerned for the well-being of NPCs. Its spooky...
If, hypothetically, 45 year old men having sex with 12 year olds was popular (Denmark scenario), you would have no problem with it, because the majority of the people are in favor...
You are fine with promoting a.KKK domain, again, as long as its popular.
OK, so you like.XXX based on POPULARITY... so I suppose you are OK with a.GOD, or perhaps.NYC, because these things are just so dang popular...
And then popularity will be the way we decide on any new TLD. So if we have a really popular movie, like The Lord of the Rings, and its so popular, with so many fan sites, it would be totally appropriate to have a.JRR TLD.
Of course, food is fairly popular, as are restaurants. So lets have a.EAT TLD, and major sports are VERY popular... so lets have a.NBA and.NFL and.MLB trio of domains.
And what is as popular as.XXX? Well, naturally,.DIE, because we ALL will die someday, and we ALL have to think about dying and making our final preparations..DIE will only make sense, because sooner or later, you will need to check out about what to do before you.DIE.
And then don't forget.EDU, oh, we already have that, well, lets do.K12 also, because its special in its own way. And VERY popular.
And how about.DAY for all calendar and appointment related items. Or anything having to do with Daytime. Because the Daytime is critical for humans. We all do most of our things during the day, so having a TLD associated with.DAY would make sense...
And then there is.RED because red is a VERY POPULAR color....RED could encapsulate all things which are red on the internet. From RED CHINA to RED STATES. Put 'em all in.RED baby, we got ourselves a new TLD!

Right, but if skill was not a factor, as the article seems to imply, then virtually all H1Bs would go to Mexicans, and virtually none would go to India. After all, why go to the trouble for India, when Mexico is thousands of miles closer?
Skill. Whether the skill is English or C++. There something about those crazy India people. They got skillz I'm afraid...
My point? My point is that you have no standards... if you are willing to go along with.PEE and.MUR and.XXX then why even have hierarchical domains? Why not MAKE EVERY SITE A TLD!?!??!
What, we can't make every site a TLD?!! Then we must evaluate the merits of TLDs that are proposed and only some will win out.
Therefore, special interest groups get a thumbs down, no matter who they are..XXX is a special interest group just as.KKK and.PEE would be and you know it.
If you want.XXX based solely on its POPULARITY then you must also accept a.GOD TLD, because sheer numbers say just as many people are into.GOD as into.XXX. And you must also accept a.NYC because, hey, New York is big, and lots of people would like a.NYC TLD. ad infinium

Hey, this topic has appeared on slashdot 6 times now, and the idiot mods keep repeating it. So STFU...
I'm building consensus on a revolutionary idea that will transform all TLDs. Beleive me, its *WORTH* 6 posts. For the safety of kids from hate speech, 6 posts is nothing.
Hell, we'll be moving all hateful discussions to.KKK very soon now (I can sense these things). That will be a monumental movement of topics and postings. You are worried about 6 posts? Wait until we have 6 trillion posts to put under.KKK. And another 6 trillion to put under.XXX.
This will be such a small price to pay for the sake of our kids. I'm surprised you aren't fawning over my revolutionary idea right now!
Whats the matter, you like.XXX but not.KKK?!! Are you half fundie or something? C'mon....
People with a MURDER fetish have rights... and we need to keep kids safe RIGHT NOW.
Stop the fundies who oppose my idea of.MUR.
Support.MUR on slashdot. If you don't, you are a fundie.
We have a chance to clean up the internet, we have a chance to protect kids, we have a chance to stop fundie intervention, but only if you get behind this.MUR idea right now.
Also see my posts on.KKK,.PEE,.GUN,.NEC (Necrophilia), and other hot new TLDS. Again, only fundies would oppose these TLDs. And fundies do not count, so they can be rejected.
Support my TLDs! Make the internet safe for kids again! Stop the fundies!
I'm sure they will be opposed to my idea of a.PEE TLD also. Because people who have urine fetishes have rights. But no, the fundies will block it because they are more concerned with making PEE fetishes illegal, rather than easy to block.
And its not fair to lump all.PEE people in with.XXX..PEE people might find intercourse to be a disgusting act, and need to filter it accordingly. So support the rights of the fellow freaks. Support.PEE right now on slashdot.
Oppose fundie control of your mind. Free your mind with.PEE.
This will also keep kids safe from accidentally seeing pictures of PEE. It makes sense from every aspect to have a.PEE TLD. Only fundies would stand in the way of this idea. And they don't need to be taken seriously anyway.
OK, well I think it goes without saying that we also want a.PEE TLD for all the urine fetish people out there...
I mean, we want 1) easy filtering 2) protection of kids 3) a voluntary system
So.PEE is another one of my great inventions (Thank you, Thank you... *takes bow*).PEE will offer a place for any type of urine interest group. Sexual or Unsexual. Because the needs of the urine people are not in sync with.XXX. Some of the.PEE fans will be disgusted by what goes on in.XXX and still want to filter that.
The only people who would possibly object to my.PEE proposal are CHRISTIAN FUNDIES. And you don't even have to take them seriously...
Exactly... I know those christian fundies won't like my.NEC domain idea either..
But Necrophiliacs have rights too... and you can't pretend they don't exist just by "denying" the creation of a.NEC domain.
Everything about.NEC makes sense. We can keep kids safe by forcing all.NEC fans into one happy community. We can also make filtering a snap, and the arguments against.NEC will disappear! But those fundies know it, so they will stand in the way of.NEC AT EVERY TURN.
Necrophilia is a specialty, so it would be unfair to ask them to use.XXX or.KKK. Some Necrophiliacs might be disgusted by living pr0n, and want to filter.XXX while still having access to their.NEC content. So we need to think of their rights too... These are people, dammit! Have compassion!

Yes, it is stupid... I also want a .KKK domain so we can easily block all hateful references made by the KKK.
.KKK today!
It would not reward the KKK and make their organization famous with a TLD, I promise.
Rather, it will keep our minds pure, because anyone posting dirty thoughts, will have to go there to do it!
