Knee-jerk offs
So, apparently, the creation of the .XXX domain has run into a barrier of what I can only describe as pure stupidity.
In case anyone is not familar with the .XXX domain, here is some amazing insight from a recent United Nations summit on the Internet.
"For those that are still wondering what triple-X means, let's be specific, Mr. Chairman. They are talking about pornography."
Just so we're clear, XXX means porn. Isn't that the WHOLE POINT? Right now porn exists all over the net in any of the various registered domains. That means any .com or .org web site could contain porn, so you never know what you're getting until you get there. If you see a link to a .xxx site, that should be a bit of a clue, shouldn't it?
The Family Research Council, for instance, warned that "pornographers will be given even more opportunities to flood our homes, libraries and society with pornography through the .xxx domain."
This just defies any semblance of reason. How, exactly, is designating a namespace for porn giving pornographers more opportunities? Porn is all over the internet RIGHT NOW. If you're being flooded by porn at home, then you most likely went looking for it at some point. The point of creating a separate namespace is to create a separate area so that it is easier to AVOID if you choose to.
These idiots really should stop their moronic crusade against any mention of sexual material. By not even taking the time to understand why this domain is being created, they are protesting an action that is intended to do exactly what they want - make it easier to identify and control the content being viewed through the internet.

xxx seems like a good idea - prevents people from stumbling across stuff they don't want to find. Shdn't be encouraging anything illegal - e.g. child porn etc.
Hehe... You really shouldn't try to apply the word "reason" to an organization that goes by the deceptively self-righteous moniker of "Family Research Council." It'll give you hives. =0)
Here is that organization's proposed "solution":
Attorney General Gonzales...intends to smash these criminal enterprises on the Internet and elsewhere with a new obscenity strike force.
Oh, it's an "obscenity strike force." Well, that's different then, eh? Yeah, that'll work great.

Hey, here's an idea! How about if everyone in the federal government gets together and spends their time brainstorming real problems--such as how to keep gasoline from getting so expensive that I can no longer afford to buy gas to drive to work to earn more money to buy gasoline. Frankly, porn on the internet is right down at the very, very bottom of my "Problems To Worry About This Century" list.
Bible thumpers will always be bible thumpers. I think Bill Maher said it well on Larry King recently, "when I say the Religious Right I mean our Government."
I don't think Bill Maher has ever said anything well. In fact, the only thing I ever want to hear spew forth from Maher's egotistical maw is "I'm going to commit suicide now," which statement should be immediately followed by a muffled gunshot.
I don't like Bush's muted religiosity in the government, but if my choice is between that and Maher's vile brand of self-serving, anti-American, qausi-Eurofetishism, I'll choose Bush every time.
Finally a one-stop shop for porn!!! Much better than spending hours looking for that special fetish! *laughs*
