60% of the internet is PORN!

“I heard that on ABC today. I was suprised....”

“It doesn't surprise me, sex sells.”

“YAY!”

“Only 60%?

I would have guessed higher.”

“And?”

“He's busy with the other 60% of the internet right now.”

“I'd bet that .0001% is factual and educational. :-)”

“That's why the internet is so cool.”

“60% of TT is innuendo. i guess we are part of the sampling population.”

“You're being generous, Rockman. :-)”

“It seems to be a pretty heavy word on TT.
The only time I've ever heard the word before TT is in the Guns & Roses song "Rocket Queen".”

“This is disgraceful. What can we do about that 40%!

Fortunately much of it is devoted to hate, gambling, swindling and me.”

“Is the porn free?”

“Wasn't there a song like that?

Porn Free....
As free as the grass grows
As free as the wind blows...”

“Must be a flower child from those hippie days.”

“I'm only posting to this thread because it was on 'top'

Yawn”

“I take it the media is once again wringing their hands over internet porn inspite of the fact that porn paid for the construction of the net and drives much of the multimedia market....”

“If that is true, then how much of the economy would vanish if all porn was eliminated? Where are the economists on TT to debate the impact if the demand for porn suddenly evaporated? Not regulated away, but suddenly, poof, no interest in porn. Like a new drug in the water supply that turned everyone into a self-pollinating species.”

“I dont know about the economy itself since I dont think there are that many companies that exist soley online but the net would certainly come to a halt....”

“Thanks Bill Clinton!!!”

“The main reason for sex being such a popular subject is deffinatly NOT for the baby reason. That is probably the least popular of the reason.

Just good fun! (The main reason)
Relieving tension
Achieving a goal (yep, I banged her)
ect......

The "pollinating" thing is generally an accident.”

“Walkindude, your urge to "bang" is born of hormones that would not be there if there was no physical evolutional reason to "pollinate". Your body thinks that it is pollinating, so to speak, even if your mind says "no way!!!". Men go into "testosterone-pause" and women go into "menopause" and poof, not much interest in "cross-pollination".

Is there too much innuendo in this discussion?”

“Tell me why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twines,
Tell me what makes skies so blue,
And I'll tell you why I love you.

Nuclear fusion makes stars to shine,
Tropisms make the ivy twine,
The Tyndall effect makes the skies so blue,
Testicular hormones are why I love you.




from The Joke Book of Isaac Asimov
(Tyndall effect substituted for Rayleigh scattering by RMF for the sake of accuracy)”

“Tilt, you are such a geek!!!








I loved it, man.
LOL”

“YES!

Think they'll remember the time I never sent them money for music CD's back in the early 90's?”

“Whoo Hoo!

I used to love Colombia House. That was how I started my CD collection. I signed my mother, father, brother, sister, dog, pet fish, hermet crab and hamster all up at the same time.

2 weeks later I received like 84 cd's!”

“I'm surprised that the Columbia House Ninjas haven't tracked you down and terminated you yet!

“well hey, at least they'll be "tasteful" porns!”

“That's funny WK!”

“That was years ago Bit. I paid every bill that came my way, so technically I did nothing wrong.

Hell, maybe my dog wanted some tunes.”

“Playboy "porn"??????????????

#&%!$ing oxymoron!!!!!

Guess I should have read the whole article before getting to excited.”

“I think I'll play Stove Stomper:

Shouldn't this be a gear thread?”

“WK, I was addressing Bearmagnet...you just got in too fast!”

“I didn't notice it was a Places thread before I posted it here, sorry...

I blame Ice Tea!

“Porn is so stupid. You're frustrated because ya doin't have a woman so ya look at dirty pictures which only makes ya even more frustrated. It's the end result either way because it always ends in some loser beatin' off alone in front of a computer or tv.”

“Nigal - where do you like to beat off and do you only beat off if you have company?

Any women I date either likes porn or gets introduced to porn.”

“the other 40% are posts generated by sarge trolling trailtalk”

“Al Gore invented porn.”

“pitts, remind me what your problem is again, or are you being a dick for no reason?”

“probably reason enough for vote for the man, jonnycat... but this is an urban myth. in reality he supported the creation of a vehicle that is 60% used for the transmission of porn.”

“During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. - Al Gore”

“No, really?”

“Sarge needs to read the full text. Check out snopes.
http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp”

“I read that spin from snopes when it first came out. That's when I first saw the bias in Snopes. The fact is he said it. I saw the interview as well from CNN. It was on TechTV when that was around. It was very clear he was claiming to have created the internet. Strange that video is so hard to find now, although the audio soundbite and the transcript is easily found. http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/03/09/president.2000/transcript.gore/

What is "false" in the snopes is Gore saying he "invented" the internet. Yeah, he said he "created" it. Give me a physical break.

If you'd like to show me my verbatim quote is inaccurate, I'd love proof. But you'll have to show me the original video with audio, again, which I have seen.

“What about the JFK safe break in. That's even older and sillier news to fight about. The truth ; Gore invented the InyourNET.

“Amazing how no one questioned what he said until Republican naysayers grabbed hold of it. But the truth is he did help bring the internet into the global medium. Read this:

“Yeah, I heard those arguments almost 10 years ago, and I also heard the rebuttals when the people involved laughed at him.

And people WERE questioning it before any "Republican" naysayers "grabbed hole of it". The tech community first questioned it.”

“You must be a big anti-gore man sarge. Actually by looking at other post by you, it seems like you are anti-everybody.
