Those are probably a bigger exploitation than those in the porn industry (I suspect).<BR/><BR/>Also many parents would not feel good to see their children or siblings working as a rubbish man, road sweeper or waste collects, but that does not imply that one should discourage those forms of work. If nobody does it streets are not clean, wastes are not emptied and rubbish just piles up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-14983139143824369462008-08-20T00:55:00.000-07:002008-08-20T00:55:00.000-07:00It does not seem to have stopped the cat in the Au...It does not seem to have stopped the cat in the August 20th posting either.

The impulse to censor usually doesn't stop with entertainment or with matters sexual either.<BR/><BR/>In Sri Lanka the television screen is digitally masked whenever a drink or a cigarette appears. It can make it difficult to follow a story, but it doesn't seem to have deterred anyone from drinking. If I'm not mistaken, Sri Lanka has a very high rate of alcoholism.Ken and Visakhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16713910044241151429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012277645322483593.post-14368211352955801232008-08-19T06:32:00.000-07:002008-08-19T06:32:00.000-07:00It reminds me of one of Ben Affleck's second-class...It reminds me of one of Ben Affleck's second-class movie 'Surviving Christmas'. There's a boy character in the movie who spends his days in front of computer consuming(or consumed by)pornography. Until one day, he clicks on a link and watches the picture of his naked mother posing in spreaded-legs V(for victory)..<BR/><BR/>It is indeed an idea that's never been thought by most people, what if suddenly he finds out that his(I say his because they're mostly a 'he')sister,mother,etc are the 'objects' of the porn sites or movies he enjoys.Masta Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295459385776506826noreply@blogger.com
