My office allows access to social networking sites during lunch hours and we can access YouTube all day, it's quite laid back here and while many architectural firms struggle, we're ALL getting bonuses here this year.

I wonder if we'll ever see musically interesting acts reach the mainstream, anywhere...

kirakira, that's good to hear, I also don't like the idea of the 13 year old in front of the mob of over 50s but that's up to the parents and "dazed and sheepish" is pretty open to interpretation. I don't participate in JT discussions very often but I agree this one was nice and I think we actually got somewhere.

kirakira, I think where we differ in opinion is on the subject of what is and isn't exploitation. Like a poster before me said, anybody can go down to the beach and see kids running around in bikinis, maybe even topless. What people seem to be bothered about is that some people are jerking off when they get home from the beach, my point is that people can do what they want with their time, whether society thinks it's sick or not. Trust me I think it's sick too, but if no kids are being harmed in any way, I'm not against it.

btw people get turned on by alot of things, you can't possibly ban anything you assume to be sexual in nature

I think it's important for alot of people here to understand that we live in a free society, freedom means that people can make their own decisions and it's not up to the majority (that is too often seen as some perfectly moral, infallible body) to dictate what individuals can or can't do. Being part of the majority doesn't make you right. Can we attempt to get a deeper understanding going on here instead of knee-jerk emotional reactions?

Women here in the UK don't do this kind of stuff (except the make up) but if they were all as cute and in-shape as the average J-girl I wouldn't be complaining about it. Seeing fat women, pregnant teenagers and women who look 10 years older than they are really sucks :(

"This band which seeks to corrupt youth with their filth should have been refused visas. They give America a bad name. What happened to good old fashioned wholesome entertainment?"
Correction: it's people like you that give America a bad name, refused visa for your musical taste? You can't be serious. I guess hunting wild animals or invading a foreign country is way better than guys making music that talks about how bad death is? I am a long time death metal fan and I have never assaulted anybody nor have any of my friends, Cannibal Corpse is a quality band and by the way there are far heavier bands out there, some people just don't know what "open minded" means

Making stuff affordable to criminals won't stop them from stealing, many people shoplift just because they can get away with it. If stuff becomes worth less they'll just steal more of them to compensate.

I enjoy flying, the only part that annoys me is security, have to take my shoes and belt off, take my laptop out of my bag, take all the crap out of my pockets, take my headphones off and then put it all back when I get through.

Abortion should be available, no government should have the right to tell a woman what she can or can't do to her own body, because a foetus is part of her body. I can't see how a foetus can be considered to be anyone's responsibility but the parents'. We are not OWNED by the government!!
