Problem is with porn filters, is that it can block sites that allow nudity, like Deviant Art, which has an Artistic Nude section. And yes, pornography gets knocked off the site in a heartbeat, they enforce those rules strictly. DA has a mature filter, which is On by default.

Think that pornography causes sex crimes?

I hear this a lot, that certain media increases the amount of crimes due to what's potrayed.

Personally, I think it's BS, I mean, look at Japan, they have a large porn industry that shows a billion-and-one (not kidding) sexual situations. If you can think it up, they've cooked it up already. Yet the amount of sex-related crimes in Japan is exceptionally low.

Nah, a panic attack is when you get a huge amount of fear struck into you spontaneously. It also fires off the Fight or Flight instinct and it can feel like a heart-attack.

What you describe, I have no idea what it is. If you suddenly go from feeling really happy to feeling depressed and useless, it could be bipolarism.

It's a medicine that's used to reduce the severity of ADHD, it's the subject of quite a lot of criticism due to the fact that it has a lot of side effects, including causing death in a few cases.

I think it's just a bad parents way of not taking responsibility, they need discipline, not milligrams.

The only bad side-effect from constant masturbation is low sperm count in men, and that takes some crazy amounts. Going blind, hairy palms and cancer are all myths, masturbation actually reduces hormonal-based cancers.

Heres the thing, 95% of people do it, 5% lie.

Don't forget that Ultra-90 thing, I got so sick of hearing about it on the radio, I've seriously considered calling up Myrlene or whatever her name is and yelling "If I buy some will you stay off the radio!!?"

They're all rip-offs anyway, walk a few miles to the store every day and you'll lose weight in a heartbeat.

What's wrong with seeing some diddies on TV? If your son sees a naked women, and his eyes are glued to the TV, that's how you know he's not gay.

My neighbor said that to me once. She was crazy, but it's true ya?. Anyway, some boobs on TV, big deal. Quit throwing such a tizzy over sexual things. Your parents did it, and so did their parents and so on. Quit talking about it like it's a bad thing, I doubt you were an adult when you first saw a naked body.

I'm not a big fan of cyber sex, I mean, I do not agree on that, it is kind of sick, looking at porn is a kind of fun if controled, but cyber sex is the same as protitution for free in my opinion


BWAHAHWAHAHHAAHAHAHAAA!! That is the silliest and craziest thing I've read since I came here! XD

That's just crazy right there, cybering is nothing more than absolute desperation for horny teens who a half the man they claim to be. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Practically everyone in the US is on a prescription drug, and they don't keep track of how many they have, and if one goes missing, they think nothing of it.

Keep in mind that your kids could be taking your drugs, they should be kept in a locked cupboard or drawer so that they can't get their hands on them.

Drugs tend to lead to stronger drugs once you become tolerant to them. So I guess that drinking could lead to drugs. But with drink being easier to get than drugs, the odds aren't that high, but still good odds.

Nah, I don't think you have a problem. As long as you can walk away from the table, you're fine.

As long as you spend what you don't mind losing, you don't have a problem.

Quite a lot actually, everyone on my dads side, including my dad smokes, but on my mums side, it's really only my auntie.

My granda used to smoke until he was diagnosed with diabetes, so he gave it up to keep himself going.

Fill me in on what meth is, I keep hearing about it and people stealing medication to make it. That's the sum of my knowledge.

Isn't it also called LSD or something like that? Or am I thinking about something else?

I despise it, it sickens me when I see someone smoking right next to a 2 year old, especially if that 2 year old is their own kid. Last I heard, young children are much more susceptible to disease and infection than adults.

Obviously, your friend was a bit of a liar if he said that he likes reading and doesn't even get through 2 chapters without giving up. Guess he just liked the novelty of buying books and showing them off.

Not sure about it being an addiction, probably just a hobby or something, I tend to collect things that are useless to me at times.

My cousin is guilty of this, she has 12 jackets, 50-something shirts, 8 bathing suits and 20 pairs of jeans.

I don't get why people need so many clothes, most of them just sit there because they've gone out of style. Clean up that closet of yours and stop wasting money on a shirt you probably have.

Hence what Aries meant by respectable. I wouldn't want it advertised either, I get enough crap in my mailbox without getting a $5 off coupon to the local brothel.

Besides, brothels are strictly indoors, if one's hanging around the street, then she's just a street hooker.

Because gambling is quite a fun sport, especially if you bet on things like boxing and that. It's entertainment to me, but I hardly ever gamble on games of chance. Only on skill, chance games are always rigged slightly against you.

How do you think that casinos should deal with those with gambling addictions?
1/20/2008 2:23:00 PM Quenlin

My say is this, they should be trained to notice people who are addicted to gambling, and should ask them to leave the casino once they seem to be blowing amounts they can't afford, or refuse to give them credit.

Gambling addiction is a nasty problem, but if the casinos themselves can step in and have the one with the addiction leave, then it could ease the long-term damage to the individual.

Geez Aries, hearing you talk like that is a greater treat than any of your magic tricks.

That, and I completely agree, your house, your TV, your son. Show the little brat who's boss and who wears the pants in the house. Smacking him would be a tad overboard though, but grounding him and not letting him watch TV will sort him out.

Said the one that's seen every episode of Code LYOKO at least twice.

I doubt I could manage, my love for Law and Order and The Boondocks would make it pretty difficult. I could probably do it if I unplug the TV and toss it in the shed and go camping out in the Andes without a map.

It doesn't even get you high, it just screws with your brain and makes you dizzy. And because your inhaling something that's highly toxic, it could kill you instantly, or, if you smoke, cause a fire to run up your nose. Now that's a scary thought.

I see it as a waste of time and money unless you have a really nasty defect, like an ugly birthmark or a scar that always looks infected.

Wearing a d-size bra does not give you the excuse to have plastic surgery, and neither does having an a-size, b-size, c-size or even if you're as flat as a pancake. Now, if you have fat thighs that make walking very difficult, then go on a diet.

Yup, and it's just disgusting, those who practice it disgust me, and the whole concept disgusts me as well. Why people even do this is beyond me, all it does it destroy your body, and causes loss of water and nutrients, resulting in you being a dehydrated, malnutritioned, overweight, pile of flesh and bones.

He died from an accidental overdose. Besides, who cares about celebs? Some guy has died from too many sleeping pills, la-dee-da. Happens thousands of times a year.

It's not as though he was addicted to drugs.
