Egypt Bans Online Porn, Should we send them a link to Commons? Options

Fun stuff. I wonder if the Wiki people can claim this is evil Western colonialism at work.

We're talking about a religion whose adherents call for cartoonists to be murdered, chop the head off a female relative who refused to become a whore, and shoot 14-yr-old girls in the face because they have the audacity to want to be educated.

So, really, I don't find myself getting all that worked up by "no pussy for you" rules.

Hey, don't stereotype. They're not all shitheads. That's like condemning all drivers because a few drive ruddy dangerously.

What is this, the virtually non-existent "moderate Muslim" ?

Yep, that's right shithead. I've known many Moslems, colleagues, friends, even one girlfriend. They're not all bloody Ayatollahs.

Didn't say that they were. It would be nice to see these non- bloody Ayatollahs actually stand and speak out against the head-chopping and face-shooting, though.

When people do batshit insane things in the name of Christianity (e.g. Randall Terry, David Koresh), the rest of us are pretty quick to condemn it.

"Moslems"? The only people who spell it that way are those who are from the 18th century and still see them as inferior heathen "other-people" from that magical Orient.

Sadly, there are all too many people around who were taught "social studies" using 18th century textbooks. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/frustrated.png) I certainly thought it was spelled (and pronounced) that way until a Muslim classmate corrected me in 3rd grade.

I think it is odd that banning porn is some how extreme. Porn was always fringe, but yet somehow the rhetoric has treated it as if it is mainstream. Odd.

It's just a sign of the (d)evolution of things in the age of the web. Just about everyone (present company excluded (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)) has sex, lots of people enjoy watching strangers having sex, so what's the big deal?

There's a big difference (IMO, etc.), however, in what I was exposed to as a young lad (sneaking peeks at my friend's father's Hustler collection) and what the kids can click a mouse and bear witness to these days (!!!).

I remember when I was a young teen that every girl who wanted to seduce a boy knew how to tie a knot with the stem of a cherry in her mouth (scene from one of the "brat pack" movies, I forget which). I can't even imagine what the girls know how to do now.
