    Some countries just tend to keep going backwards, backwards and backward. Soon enough, we will be seeing our Cavemen ancestors.

    This is really a shame , it is a personal freedom , no body has the right to impose what he thinks on the others.

    Things usually get more popular when people try to restrict it. Or maybe they are just trying to increase DVD sales lol.

    It'll never work
     
  7. You're crazy if you think the ability to view porno is a freedom. There are millions of people who are enslaved to this so called 'freedom' and it has and continues to destroy lives and families.

    So I suppose we should also ban manufacturing because there are millions of people who are enslaved to working in factories and it has and continues to destroy lives and families. Nice logic.

    I never thought I would say this, the only well thought out comment is from a guest. However in everyones defense that is fighting for free Internet, there are ways to clean up the Internet without completely banning such content. Such content should not be so easily accessible by under age viewers.

    Yeah but if you notice it's always the same countries I say large enterprise countries like US, Denmark, UK, Sweden etc just just put their foot down now and cut off access to most of the east!

    RH00D - Are you an *****? Yes, we should ban manufacturers who enslave workers. I don't know what you were getting at with your statement? He never said ban the entire internet. Even with that "free" porn you're watching, producers make millions. They directly and indirectly force girls to appear in these videos.

    ....and yes, for the record, if a manufacturer is enslaving workers, we should shut it down.
