    It's a sad reality, but unfortunately it is true that there are a lot of people who should get tested, but don't.

    We don't allow parents to scar, tattoo, plate lip, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc their children, so why should we allow them to cut part of their cock off? Ironically, Scotland, then England (possibly Wales too), used the data on baby male circumcision to ban dog tail docking and ear cropping, but still allow human parents to mutilate their male children.

    I understand that the bully was also around six years old. I know bullying is very common in school, but at such an early age and so violent…  :afr: I wonder if being stabbed to death would have been considered a major incident or just good riddance of a "future sinner" if it is a very homophobic region. And all homophobes, at least in my country play the kids card. Like the kids psychic will be destroyed if he finds out that there are same sex couples or sees one. Or that it will turn them gay. So we need to protect the poor children. Off topic, with kids these days, we need protection from them. What about gay children? Don't they need protection from violence? Don't the need to see that they aren't some freaks - that there are people like him.

    Makes me glad that I have a BlackBerry. They give the end user the OPTION of whether or not they want such content stored on their phone, and also have the ability to turn the location sensors off completely. The only time you cannot turn such things off on a BlackBerry is when the BlackBerry itself is in "Emergency Mode". "Emergency Mode" is activated when you place a phone call to 9-1-1 and remains on until you turn it off after the end of the call. While in "Emergency Mode" however, you cannot dial out to anyone else as it leaves your phone open only for emergency operators.

    Seriously, I'll be the first to admit to it… Ever since the days that I had my own computer (a the time a top of the line Pentium 90 with 64MB RAM running Windows 95) running on a 33.6k dial-up internet connection I've found ways of accessing porn. I can understand parents not wanting their children to be exposed to such content because they don't want their children to be exposed to something they don't understand. The part of the whole situation that I don't really understand is the part where my situation comes into play. Even though I was seriously under age at the time I started searching for porn, I was determined enough to find ways around it. The above situation and statements leads me to believe that pornography is something that we have just placed a societal taboo around. If the person is old enough to understand what it is, what they like, and they really want it, trust me when I say that they will get their hands on what they're looking for. My only news flash for the parents in these cases is that if their children have started to reach puberty, they probably already know what porn is and in most cases, they'll gain access to it one way or another, whether you want them to or not. Also, with regards to the whole internet "censorship" issue, these places fail to take into account that although they have control over the content that can pass through in their own country, restricting access to websites in the end is ultimately useless. Tor is one example of a way of getting around such blockades, without being noticed. Other methods include the use of a VPN, newsgroups, and other proxy services. For instance, your ISP could try to block connections to 65.95.35.115 (random IP I made up), but if your internet connection is being routed to 67.69.95.25 (another random IP I made up) to forward that signal through either as a Proxy or VPN to connect to the original 65.95.35.115, the only thing your provider is going to see is that you're connecting to 67.69.95.25, which isn't blocked and therefore allow the traffic because your ISP cannot tell that the actual end destination of that packet is actually the banned IP of 65.95.35.115... See why I think that this kind of censorship is an absolute hysterical joke?

    if it's a phase, then what they did will just help the kid get over it.  if not, then at least neither they nor the kid will have guilty/repressed feelings about it.  either way, it would be better to have done exactly what they did

    "Ok, so Stevie Wonder can never be charged with attempted murder if he shoots a gun at someone because he's blind and the likely hood of him killing the person is low. " Forget attempted murder, infecting the world with "I Just Called To Say I Love You" is reason enough to lock Stevie Wonder up for a long time.

    Very true Mr. Mazda - at the risk of sounding like an old fart, but I'm serious - I used to drive every day all day delivering stuff when I first started working.  I didn't see in one full weekall the terrible maneuvers and rudeness that one can see today in about an hour on the road.  Part of it is more cars in less space, but I think that people are just far less considerate than they used to be.  There is no other explanation.

    Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) slammed the new order as an "unprecedented power grab by the unelected members" of the FCC. Hutchison, ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee, vowed to introduce a resolution of disapproval to condemn the vote. She gets a lot of money from ISPs, so it's no wonder she's their whore in the Senate.
