yeah where the hell in this article did it have a religious reason? i could understand if u guys are flaming over zealous moms who think showing bare arms is a turn on to guys

… back to the Article, which was about Cambodia and mobiles (in case you’d forgotten)…. Cambodia is a beautiful but very poor country. To put the original issue into context, there would not be that many people in Cambodia that can afford a 2G mobile phone or even afford to EAT regular daily food, or even have electricity outside Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville…. So, I think saying that 3G is banned for 10 years sounds good to the moralisers but the country probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it for another 10 years anyway. Okay, you can all go back to your US religious rant.

i kill cereal every morning around 9am, and i dont have to watch porn to make me do it.

Maybe we can take some lessons out of that decision here in the United States.

Mmumumm….pornographic cereal killers…….

Being anti-Bush doesn’t make you less of sheep, just sheep lead by a different Shepard.

I think most women are more worried about fair treatment in the workplace, justice for rape victims and sexual harassment over abortion. But then again, abortion is legal where I’m from and I’m not a woman.

I don’t see how banning a technology is going to slow down the spread of porn. I don’t think I’ve ever received porn on my phone. Not would I want to on such a tiny screen… It’s just something for 12 year olds to giggle at.

Talking to your kids is the only anti-drug, anti-porn and anti-violence measures that need to be taken. Parents can’t blame everyone else for screwing up they’re own children. My parents talked to me, and I will talk to my children.

Without getting involved in all the anti-religious bigotry which started these comments out, or any of the politics which have become a conversation point now, I would just like to point out one thing based on the article…

What is so different or special about getting porn on a cellphone? Like… on some tiny screen… for starters… and second of all, can’t you… buy a magazine if you want portable porn?

I’m just saying that I really don’t see how cell phones all of the sudden open wide the door to portable porn… yes, they could make things easier, but if people want it they will get it anyways. Don’t blame the technology if it can be used for evil; the problem is with the morality of society – and that is also not something you are going to be able to change in 10 years, lol.

You’re right overwhelmed… it’s gotten off topic, but it’s all in fun, right?

Yep, we took out the taliban, but the taliban was just one player in the game. We didn’t declare war on the taliban, we declared war on terrorists and those states that support or harbor them. Iraq was one of those states, and we’re in the process of taking care of that problem.

Our country MUST take aggresive actions against all those who would do us harm. If you don’t like that, fine. We’ll pull back all our troops, leave well enough alone, sit in a circle, hold hands, and sing cum-bayah…

and the next attack on our country will leave some of you wondering why we weren’t prepared for it, and why we didn’t take steps to keep it from happening.

War stinks. Lives are lost. Folks have to stay away from home. It costs billions of dollars. But you have to ask yourself what the cost of NOT defending this country is.

And before anyone accuses me of being “pro-bush” or something, I’m not PRO anyone. I’m pro-america, irregardless of who is sitting in the “big chair”.

This is from a country that allows very young children too be sold in the sex trade to europeans and westerners,ever heard of “svay pak”…sad sad! Dateline even interviewed a government minister about it,she turned blind eye.

I eat my victims after … bathing them in milk. Truly I am sick.

And it is all due to seeing a Playboy magazine when I was 9 years old — it showed a woman’s breasts! And they were very nice.

OK, sure, one doesn’t want young kids looking at porn, or for anyone to get really obessed with it, but it might be the least of our worries – and if we instill in our kids core values (humanity, compassion, honor, generosity, to value life and people) then I think they will do OK in the end.

Bit of a double entendre there – see?! I am sick.

At what age do we give kids a cell phone – probably around puberty or later, right? At that point its not the availability of explicit materials that’s to blame for interest, it’s the kids’ hormones – nothing we can (or should) do about that!

Our best bet is to tell them not to and give them rubbers anyway.

Now I am going to go have a bowl of Frosted Flakes! Where is my cell phone!

so parents are worried about their children eating too much sugar coated bran flakes?

I dunno how often do you spell serial? By the way this is the funniest discussion I have ever seen! Its funny how like a huge chuck of the bandwith on the internet is used for p0rn and yet hardely anyone admits to watching it. And what is with all this “kids shouldent be watching p0rn”, u kno what I dont think adults should be watching p0rn, it has negitive effects on their elderly minds. Its ok for kids tho 😛 I think im going to eat some frosted flakes now.

They … uh, serve that in yucky peanut sauce I think. Seriously, the manner in which people copulate is as boring as Cambodian food. Although, I suppose it is somehow related in Zen fashion by the nature of limited norishment leading to desparate starvation driven to mad extremes by the imagination.

I find it disheartening and sickening to find that so many uninformed people believe that religious beliefs are the products of stupidity and fanticism because they grow out of neither. There are lots of good arguments for religion and morality, more than i can list here. One example would be a philosophy known as “Pascal’s Wager”. It’s pretty simple, essentialy if there is no God and you live as if there is there is no punishment (and in my opinion beneifts) but if there IS a God you are infinately rewarded for living accordingly and infinately punished for living otherwise. Kind of a “better safe than sorry” approach. This is not an attempt to ‘christianize’ anyone, you are entiteled to your beliefs just as I am entitled to mine. I’m just attempting to dispell this myth that religion is irrational, it is fundamentaly rational, it is fundamentaly rational and I have yet to find a more satisfactory way to reconcile my existance.

and not one comparison with what Pol Pot did years ago, albeit with far more bloodshed but the same luddite beliefs.

… for Cambodians who want wireless porn?

Not that I care all that much, seeing as I’m about as likely to find myself looking for wireless porn in Cambodia as I am to become a cerial killer (sorry I couldn’t resist).

But I am curious as to what this actually means tecnically. Is there some other standard that is still ok there?

Aww, this conversation died. It was so much fun to 🙂 I think I pissed off every french person that read my comment b4 this.
