You only mention religious opposition when the Free Speech Coalition has strongly spoken out against .XXX -- the FSC is the trade association for the adult entertainment industry.

I'm an FSC board member and I hope you'll visit the site I and Colin Rowntree created to get the adult industry's views aired and information circulated.

Thanks...

Al Gore was on the the senate committee that funded the creation of the internet we use today. Thats what he said when that friend of Rush Limbaughs interviewed him and lied about what he had said. She printed the retraction and admitted he had never said that he created the internet. But it was too late for Fox News was already spreading the disinformation. It was Viral even before the ink on the retraction had dried

What? You think "libtard"-haters would let such silly things as the truth get in the way of a good tarring and feathering?

I enjoy many types of XXX

Why don't the politicians simply admit that most porn is taboo because, if it were not, their masters in industry wouldn't be able to use sexually themed advertising to lure customers?

Take away porn as "risque" and "taboo" and you take away most of the fashion, scent, and motion picture industry customer grab because its just "more of the same".

^This!

AKA: Repressive Desublimation.

How about if you just raise my kids for me so I won't have to worry about porn, violent video games, cyber bullies, offensive music, risque television, dishonest politicians, war...

Oh I remember now. I am a PARENT and that is MY JOB. Okay I'm all for making accidental stumbling onto porn sites less likely but let's be realistic. This topic has already been discussed and the fact is that adding a .xxx domain is not going to magically make all porn webmasters change their URLs. It would be a voluntary move and who do you know that would want to give up an established domain name? The smart and inevitable thing to do would be to buy the corresponding .xxx name and redirect your traffic there or vice-versa. What WILL happen is that hosting registration companies who are behind this idea will make a whole bunch more money between legitimate clients AND domain squatters. (Remember pizza.com?) Of course all of this revenue will be taxable so why wouldn't the government support the idea too?

Have some responsibility people. Supervise your kids or get some software that will do your babysitting for you.

You know who's the most in favor of this? ICM Registry who makes $60 a pop by forcing businesses to reregister a domain name they already own under the new domain. This is just a money grab.

.XXX will be easier to block than anything else. Thanks for making it easier for system admins ;)

I think that was a big part of the support for it; making porn easy to find makes it easy to avoid, too.

The funny thing is...Al Gore DID really create the internet, kind of.

No he didn't! He had nothing to do with it at all. I know as I invented the wireless cellular internet and I have worked with all of the key men that created and designed the land based internet including Jon Postel.

Al Gore created nothing and just to hear his name associated with it or the environment shows had foolish people can be to believe the lies!

Damn, dude. I can't be certain, but I believe that first line may have been a joke. Chill? Does anyone really believe that Al Gore created the internet? Probably not.

Not a joke. Al Gore was in fact instrumental in the underlaying government involvement with things like ARPANET & the NII. He wasn't called an "Atari Democrat" for nothing-- he actually was in the trenches. Not as a techie, but he was the guy talking to bored old white dudes about fiber optics & personal computing. Al Gore is a for real geek hero.
