- texxmexx, on 10/11/2007, -2/+58What's the problem here? Give me a good reason why they shouldn't look at porn.
- TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+50What did you expect? Your giving them access to everything. What do young boys want? Porn.
- JBabin3xB, on 10/11/2007, -2/+44Its Official, they're Westernized
- pcharles23, on 10/11/2007, -5/+47OLPC - One Lap-dance per child --- so funny
- wayback09, on 10/11/2007, -5/+41Where the white women at?
- daftman, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34Why is it a farce? Because you want them and you can't get your hand on them?
- straylight51, on 10/11/2007, -6/+32@randal2k It's not the OLPC's fault the laptops are used for porn so don't blame them for doing something nice.
- Dugg2Death, on 10/11/2007, -2/+27I hate to say it... but good. The more they fap the more time they'll spend on the pc. The more time they spend on the pc the more they'll learn. Why would you think a group of both sexually and culturally repressed people would search for anything else. Human nature trumps all. Eventually they'll be searching for.. x, y, z.. but porn will get them familiar with the medium. Full of ***** you say? Ask any teenage boy (that trusts you) interest comes 1st... knowledge come 2nd. It's an amazing project that needs to be supported.
- Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -2/+24I can give you one reason why they should: more masturbation = less aids
- Grumps, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21the internet is for porn
- LewysJ, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Lets face it, its normal...
Who doesn't? - Crazysah, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20Yep. They have Westernized faster than us. It is definately not the OLPC groups fault.
- rohan2kool, on 10/11/2007, -2/+21in the end, porn is what unites us.
- CaseyTokyo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+19Will this increase or decrease the number of aids patients?
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+15great now more Nigerians will have access to ebay..............
- LowRentDiggs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+14No good deed goes unpunished. I hate people...
- Xizer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+12I fail to see what is wrong with letting kids who are actively seeking porn actually view it.
Filters are great, though - it will teach the kids more about computers as they work to get around them. - MrHappy123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Everyone deserves free porn :D
- sishgupta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9You remind me of the greedy little girl in Willy Wonka that acts like a brat because she can't have something.
- memoBug, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8No child left behind!
- Innagadadavida, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Story is a dupe and so is your comment.
- CraigCarlyle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8First they discover the porn, and next it'll be the Goatse.
I wonder how they'll react to that... - hippykiller, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8Ya sure, they can have my job!
- Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8supercarrot is the kind of guy who explodes before thinking, over there, in Africa, the cultural differences are not the same as in EU or US, they struggle for life every day, and you're pissed because they get to watch porn, and probably get the only free natural drug which is an orgasm... not only that, but it'll decrease the aids infected people too.
- Lewie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Outsourcing is the employer's fault (read: greed), not those in 3rd world countries trying to find a job. Tell congress not to give tax breaks on outsourcing.
- Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7As long as you can't get aids from masturbation I guess aids infection it will decrease
- Fartag, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8Agreed, you'll learn about web surfing, P2P, torrents, NNTP and other protocols (general networking), managing huge quantities of porn on a drive (data management and security), serving it worldwide (IT, web hosting, programming, business, video editing, capitalism, e-commerce) and maybe research (virtual reality, immersive environments, direct brain connections, playback, record, slow-mo, repeat, improvise). Porn continues to educate and push technology and support infrastructure right along, not to mention reducing STDs and crime. It's strange it's gotten such a bad rap.. oh that's right, it's because religion is involved.
- n0c0ntr0l, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I'm Nigerian and I've always had access to the internet. Not one negative feedback. However we do know how to scam you guys.
- manicallday, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Who cares? I'm sure they see much more graphic ***** from just looking outside their windows.
- trogdoor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5As soon as a company offers to mass produce them for first world nations they will, at least that is my understanding of it.
- bebop717, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I think this is a big step forward and will help all "third world" nations to strive to be more like the western civilization.
This boom in pornographic images will encourage the youth of these nations to create clean hot water for their people and for themselves be able to experience for golden showers. The youth will want to manufacture automobiles so they can have road head. And finally this new interest in porn will increase their buying power, and in turn will expand to other purchases such as to get condoms and have more sex.
Show by example and they will follow. - speerross, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Why should they install filters? if the kids want to look at porn let them look at porn, I fail to see the major issue. It could develop in to a MINOR problem when theyre porn surfing instead of studying, but regardless it is not up to any institution to dictate what is and what is not suitable for them to look at. That is just forcing our views on others.
- angrykeyboarder, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Boys will be boys...
- biotch, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I full on agree with that...
Its not like 1st world countries dont take advantage of cyberporn too. What makes them any different? - lostradamus, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Oh, They have the internet on computers now?
- williamdyer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Girls want it, too. And they won't settle for traditional lifestyles once they get it.
It's a non-problem, except for religious fundamentalists of all flavors. - Stevethegreat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Let them be enlightened, at least the rape rates will fall. Oh, also the young populace would a lot healthier, the health effects of masturbating are very well known.
- biotch, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5How many beheadings and stabbings and other various murders and rapes has your kid seen on standard TV huh?
Are you irate about that?
Porn should be considered far less damaging than those things yet people seem to be ok with them for some reason.... One person exposes her boob and all hell breaks loose - CompIsMyRx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Doesn't everyone look at porn? If you're in puberty, porn is your number one objective. Not just teenagers, but 12 year olds.
- zabouth, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6See the Reply button use it
- Solenoid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Would you like to have your porn sites blocked by your government? It's as moronic as stopping breathing for the sake of saving the planet.
- rohan2kool, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4from the link above: "I specifically remember giving them the portentous warning that all parents who forced their kids to stop watching TV and engage in brainy activities like spending time with computers or developing a skill or reading books would have their words come back in the future and bite them in their asses so bad that it would cause a severe infection around their anuses. Anyway, anal infections aside,.."
priceless metaphors. - kreneskyp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3they are only being released to 3rd world countries (at first) because to get the price low they need to be ordered in lots of in the millions. they will be released to the public later but at a higher price.
ps. if you had actually seen one of these in person you wouldnt be complaining. unless you are 10 years old or less the keyboard will be too small for you to be usable. - rohan2kool, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3you are so unaware of the truth.
- TheRealToma, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4WHAT!? PEOPLE ACTUALLY GET NAKED?! WTF!
Who cares? They can do all sorts with the internet. Hell, you could probably even get the good ol "Terrorists" Handbook from somewhere. Or even access to information on how to make gunpowder! OH NOES! Seriously, kids have alot more better things to do that browse the interwebz for nasty things. - art42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3"The laptops should be sold to anyone for the bare price or around that."
Why? Why not make a profit from the ppl that can afford it? - Urthwhyte, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Sarcasm----------->
You head: O - ArthurSucks, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I don't get paid to yank it to porn, I do that for free!
- art42, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Sexualization of children is NOT equivelant to children viewing porn.
Most pre-pubescent children will look at porn, laugh then forget about it. -
