Wow, wouldn't it be amazing if China was this successful at supporting copyright protection. Oh, no wait they have federally run factories based on that.
So I guess its not cool to lust but thievery is no big thing.

Personally this article was a let down.....I thought it was like Google saying, fine, you pissed us off, and we are cutting you off (from porn) - enjoy. Definitely work on titles, they have been misleading the last few weeks.

If China wants to be taken seriously, they have to act like grown ups in the international community. (and grownups watch porn ;)) But really, I agree with what was said about the copyright "policy" they have there, if they want no one to like them, they are going about it very well.

oh yeah, cause porn is the cause for every evil thing said or done in the world:) While I do not believe in censorship in way shape or form, I still can think of much better things to censor of I was to go this route. Either way censorship always fails sooner or later. You can not keep out the truth or anything else for that matter from people forever. They will find a way.

If google.cn doesn'twork for them they're always welcome to try google.com, google.de, google.ru, or other google sites that do send p*rn!

It's funny that in a state where the iron regime is so strong, people would still dare to risk their lives (their jobs, ..) to watch nacked chicks!
The Chinese aren't that different of the rest of the world after all!

Well if you guys think that getting fake love is ok then I can't change your mind. If you watch porn you'll miss out on real things, that a wife and a husband can enjoy basically for free. Money is not the most important thing in life, especially if you have to disgrace yourself. I can add that for those who do not believe in God there is even a scripture in the Bible that says "a fool said that there is no God". I would like to think that people will eventually believe, but atheism is also a for of faith, it's just pure logic. No one knows if there is a God or not for sure, that is why it's called faith, and atheism can not be proven scientifically for sure either, so it's a form of faith. But the way living things work in nature is very indicative of creation, by evolution or otherwise. You make the choice and you reap the consequences, either good or bad. Porn is not right, and is fake no matter what you think.

@FloKid: It is very interesting how you've made the connection that "porn (fake love) = No real life (husband and wife genuine love)". I've been on forums where males who have a wife who just gave birth to a baby watch porn. Of course in strict terms porn is bad but you have also made a point that women don't have the sex drive that men does so here's my question to you:

If you wanted sex but you didn't want to have a kid and women (as you've said) only wanted to have sex for a child. What would you do?

I would also like to add that there are women out there who enjoy sex (yes, if you haven't noticed, they are human beings too). In fact, both women are men are actually very close. The only 2 differences that we have are the hormone levels of testosterone and estrogen and that one has testicles while the other has ovaries. According to Wired magazine: The brain map of a women when she is totally turned on is exactly the same as a man during sexual intercourse. What does that tell you?

Everything has a positive side and a negative. Nothing is totally correct. I admit that porn can create perverted thoughts and can be a bad thing but it can also be good. There is no doubt that porn in general are done by poor girls/women who needed money but there are also girls who do it because they wanted money to buy their Gucci bags which means they didn't have to do such a thing but they were doing it willingly. Some women (especially American porn stars) do it because they simply enjoy sex (at least they say so).

I think speaking on behalf of women isn't a smart thing to do. Just because girls don't come out in the public saying "we love sex" doesn't mean they don't want it.

Sex used to be for child bearing and that is because we as the human race were focused for survival purposes. I am not saying that we don't work anymore for our survival but with the technology we have today, we don't need to work as hard and the demands of both sexes have changed.

I would also like you to quote the scripture which says "a fool said that there is no god" because I didn't recall any when I was a Christian.

Christians love to make claims about how god is everywhere and that creation is "evident", yet they are unable to prove it scientifically. If it is this "evident" then why can't we prove it indefinitely? Why is there still a debate after 2000 years?

I ask all the time "how do you know god helped you?" and all of them will just tell me "you have to believe". How can I believe in something that I cannot assure myself 100% that it is that thing and that it didn't happen by coincidence or fate?

One really ironic thing is that the Bible started in the Middle East and went to the West which dominated Europe and America and yet America is the country which Porn is flourishing the most in. What happened to the land of the Christians?

[citation][nom]ChogWolf[/nom]Censorship is just wrong...Parents, not the government, should be able to decide what their kids get up to.. What 2 or more consenting adults do for money on film/webcam/video is their business.. and mine if I want to watch it.[/citation]

Why parents over the government?
A single person can easily fuck up a child with their unintelligent views, but China seems to actually be advancing their country quite well...
I'm not for censorship, but I realize in some situations, it's required. Why? I go to 4chan one day, and find a series of pictures of someone burning their living cat with lighter fluid in a fishtank... To me, that's going too far...
I also know that the american site banlist mainly consists of pornographic content involving minors... Government is trying to protect the people.

We have governments for a reason. I believe we aren't to give them 100% control or to trust them completely, but regardless, I trust my government to do what's needed when the time comes.

I think Google should stand up for themselves, and just shut down the entire China operation. Close down Google China and basically screw up the internet for China as they know it. China can ask Jeeves for their answers...or they can try to Bing! stuff if they want.

If you don't believe there is a God, then why would you believe a scripture that people claim has come from that very God that you don't believe in? Quoting a scripture to an atheist isn't going to prove anything to them.



@AngelOfProgress and Skook9:

I completely agree with your comments. If China is going to protest the services being provided, don't provide them with services in any way, shape, or form. Reminds me of the article on Toms a little while back about Microsoft saying to the EU, "You don't want us to provide only IE? Well then we won't give you IE at all. How you like them apples?"

Alright I think this thread is pretty much dead so just gonna post a few more thoughts for the end. Someone on the forum asked what would you do if you needed something sexual, and you did not want to have children. Well why would you want to look at porn anyway then, it's like say I am mad then I am going to go watch real footage of murder and rape on a secret website or something, and I am going to enjoy it while at it... That is a red signal right there that something is wrong with me. Besides that what are you going to learn from watching porn anyway? It's better to watch a funny, or scientific TV show, that you could actually talk to someone about, and not feel like a queer. To wrap things up, I would rather believe in something that is cheerful and has a future, unlike atheism that promotes egoism or madness. But it's your choice of faith. That is all I wanted to say.
