I was actually going to reply with that but I chose not too.

On a side note. At GNC they have had times where someone registered and then posted porn. We have been lucky so far and vigilant, but it can happen. One thing you don't find on TV is the randomness of individuals. Internet allows communication and interaction which is what has made it a boom for predators and porn peddlers and even terrorists. You can't do that with TV

I'll take the heat...but it is true.

TV is much safer than the Internet any day!!! There are way too many horror stories out there to prove it...

Have you ever watched, "To Catch A Predator" on MSNBC.....they haul them in by the dozens setting up an Internet sting in cities around the states...these guys think they are going to meet some child they hooked up with on the Internet...but NO...it is that news reporter and the local police...

No meetings like that have ever been set up by a predator using TV...but the Internet has "redeeming value" and TV does not....

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?

Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Why is it that cons disregard facts like this in their elevation of internet as "redeemable", and their condemnation of television as "irredeemable"?

Exactly...they not only ignore them they come up with claims that are assumed to be facts without proven it and we are all expected to just accept that it is true.

my site gets like 25 or so spammers signing up every day... Due to board modifications they can't post anything and we delete the accounts ASAP...

but I'd say 15/25 are porn... the other 10 are "free money from home", ringtones, or some other similar advertisement to those 2....
