Educational site have .edu

organizations and learning stuff is usually .org

some sites are .net others .com

why cant we make a petition or something to force pornsites to be put under .po or something.

this would allow us to have more control and filters would be much easier to handle!
is this possible?
Speak with me at any time on google with s4nh44@gmail.com

It's a very good idea and has been suggested (.xxx was the suggestion).
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

I recall seeing an article about the .xxx thought and many in the "industry" were protesting against it.  I tried searching for it, but B'H my filter doesn't allow .xxx searches.

When I say v'lamalshinim, I have those in the "industry" in mind, among the other enemies of Klal Yisrael! > > >

Because then it would be too easy for us to find when we're feeling weak!

Not if all sites from such a domain were blocked by the filter.

When I first heard about this it seems so pashut - make it mandotory that all adult material must have a special domain name to protect the children (and us addicts).  Unfortunately were dealing with a muti millionaire  industry to the economy so it's not going to be an easy fight.

The basic point here is valid, but the main focus needs to be on controlling OURSELVES...

We can't, nor will it solve the problem, to control what is out there.
I am not big enough to not do something I WANT to do because I know it is wrong, but I've been around long enough not to want to do many things, even though they are really enticing at the first glance.

We need to set up effective gedarim and control ourselves.

We'd find a way around it.

But actually, it would be more dangerous.  There are things out there just as dangerous that aren't officially p*rn.  If all serious p*rn was restricted to www.xxx, we'd feel perfectly safe using facebook, etc, etc.  We'd NEVER listen to anyone who told us not to use them.

Sort of like that story (or is it a gemara) about someone who wished for one mouth for worldy matters and another one for Torah.  He realized, at least with one mouth, you've got to try hard to keep it pure.

I know I'm paraphrasing and messing this story up, but the point is nevertheless a valid one.
