I have to tell you that it isn't "doing" anything.... it can only effect a person if they choose to watch it... I can promise you that I can get through and entire day and never once "have" to look at porn just because it's on the net. Take some responsibility for your own actions and avoid it if you find it offensive, that's what most people do. And for your information if we allow the government the right to censor what we are allowed to see and read, sites like this will be banned... you have to take the good with the bad... you can't have your cake and eat it too.

What you said doesn't sound like the statement of someone living in a dream world to me.  It sounds like common sense.  I think our leaders need to take a refresher course in preschool and kindergarten, because they've clearly forgotten fundamental early life lessons -- like two wrongs don't make a right, the end doesn't always justify the means, and just because all your friends are jumping off a cliff doesn't mean you should too.  I think its our responsibility as citizens to voice our displeasure, tell our politicians to start behaving, and if they don't then get them the heck out of office.

Because the U.S. is looking out for their own self-interest.  Screw the planet!  I also suspect that a lot of the people running the country are scientifically illiterate and/or morally bankrupt.

it is dying due to laxity of morals and bad parenting,the government is also to blame parents are not supposed to discipline their children the normal way but to reason with them(how can you reason with a 3 yr old) they realise that they can do anything with impunity hence spoilt brats and bad behaviour. i,ll get off my soapbox now.

I think our country and our goverment are corrupt, and the country mainly because of the government.The war in Iraq is having a huge effect on today's society, and the fact that a lot of federal funding is being used for a war that i see as huge mistake isn't helping. Taking the federal funding is lowering the funding used on disease control and cancer research. And then all the money going to rebuild New Orleans isn't helping either. Today's society is based off of money and power and eating. Many people's lives revolve around computers and the internet. People wonder why we have an obiesity problem and there's your answer we have to much so close to us. With the internet people don't go gain experience and do research which doesn't help with people's attitudes. America seems to be a corrupt and war based country. We say we're fighting for freedom when really we're trapping ourselves. The more wars we get into the more "national security" we have. We're watched like dogs we no longer truly have freedom because of the  securities we have. Benjamin Franklin once said, and i'm paraphrasing, that those who would give their freedom for security don't deserve freedom or security. And that's the majority of the people in the US today from what i've seen people would gladly be protected and watched then have the freedom that our forefathers fought so valiantly for. This is what i think, i'm not trying to start anything so i hope nobody takes this offensively, I am a US citizen and a republican i'm saying this about my own country, maybe i can open some eyes to what's going on in the US today.

Education shouldn't be dumbed down to answer to the demands of a generation that has been abusing so many things now. Students need to work harder if they really want to get something out of it. I mean, we go to school to learn. Many seem to be forgetting that nowadays.

You are 100% right. For too long now, successive UK governments have put too much emphasis on playing the global stage at the sake of their own people. I suspect it's a glamour thing and they want to make their mark in world history.

The thing that young people should worried about is the draft Bush is threatening Iran with. The ages would be 18-37, this would take care of Americas financial problems. I wouldn't put it past him, since he cares not for the American people. War for oil is getting real old now. I really want to see some American diplomacy, that calls for compromise. George Bush is a looser, and is just stirring more fear up in the World to get votes, but America isn't scared anymore after all the Bush results of protection. Vote the Tyrants out and free America.

Don't like it ALL...\n\n...but I would reconsider this topic, if our Presidents and Prime Ministers sent their OWN sons and daughters!

That is something that should not be done. There are to many rules and laws taking peoples freedoms away already. It should strictly be something decided within each home between the youths and their parents. You have to take into consideration the maturity level of the youth and also the relationship between parent and youth. I think that there are youths out there that shouldn't be but.... they ultimately will have to pay the consciences of their actions. If they are good then great if they abuse the laws then they will be held accountable. Half the problems now adays is because kids don't have to learn responsibilities like they use to. They can't get jobs anymore until their older and so they aren't learning how to be productive citizens. Parents need to have some say and rights given back. There has to be a line drawn somewhere.

I don't think the government needs to be in the business of telling people how to rear their children.....or educating them, for that matter.  I believe that is one reason our public (government run) schools are so bad today.  The other reason is that people do not know how to discipline their babies.  They either them them run wild or they yell at the to shut the f**k up. This is beginning to really get out of hand when children are having babies.  The fathers are many times no where around.   Who suffers?  The child.\n\nThe elderly pay into the medicare system their whole life and when they need help caring for themselves, we "shelve" them in a nursing home.  Some, but not all,  of these places are nasty and the staff is mean.  A senior either has to be wealthy and pay for private care, have excellent long term care insurance, or apply for medicare.  I have never understood why we treat our elderly worse than animals.\n\n\n\n\nArmygirl91--remember you will be old one day.

Well, seeing as I AM one of those "children", I totally see this from your point of view.  It's ridiculus what they're doing over there, and then my generation (and a few to follow) are going to have to clean up after it...it SUCKS.  Thanks for sticking up for us!

THE US GOVERNMENT CONSTITUTED THEIR OWN PSYCHOLOGICAL BEHAVIORAL BARBARISM SINCE THE INCEPTION OF NORTH AMERICA. WILL THE 21st CENTURY BE ANY DIFFERENT? 'HAY NO'! THE DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR WILL CONTINUE.

You are very wise to be asking these questions and to be bringing up these most important issues. Of course it isn't "right" but this regime doesn't even think about what's right. That's why Americans have to wise up and get rid if this government as soon as possible. Hopefully, before they completely destroy us all.

The US has almost nothing to do with it, because it is in their beleif system.  They are radical fundamentalists, something we will never be, because they will kill themselves for a cause.  The US presence there has no hope of changing that short of every person over there dieing.

Seem the clip before. The one thing that will go on ,and it doesn't just happen in this country,is the government of all countrys will cover up things they don't want the people to really know anything about. So don't say when is american people going to wake up, they are all ready awake. You can't fight something that you have no control over. Same goes for the other countrys that experience the same thing but on a larger scale.
