[SIZE=-1]they involve real people (or donkeys) who may have had no other option in their lives but to degrade themselves to earn money.

May? I would imagine that most if not all of the people involved do have other options just that they do not choose them for one reason or another. Very few people have no options as to how they earn their living or spend their time.

[SIZE=-1]Is everyone aware that the porn industry has driven the majority of tech changes over the last 10 years including streaming video and audio, credit card verification, age verification. So just think, if there was no porn, thered be no ryanair.com, no youtube.com and no amazon.com.[/SIZE]

No, I wasn't aware porn was the main driver for these pivotal tech changes. How did you become aware of this astonishing fact? (If I had to pick a single technology driver, I would have said war.).

Apparantly - that's what happened - even as I understand, it was the porn industry's adoption of the VHS format that led to the demise of betamax at the time!

What about you foxylady

Seriously, I think porn is fine and most people have been exposed to it in one form or another and they think the same. Its just a shame that exposure to porn is starting at such a young age, mainly due to the internet.

I was about to say that there isnt one driver for tech changes ( web and comms based anyway), but there is and thats money. Military and porn industry has lots of both. throws up a lot of links.
