Re: Regarding blocking of porn websites in Pakistan
Shero, unfortunately in many years of following islamic debates, i havnt come across a single mulla who had his basics right ! Seriously the term "Mulla" has become a disgrace to the actual concept of Molana , about time we start educating maulana's and pick them wisely to become Islamic scholars for our mosques and Islamic queries.
Khair, that aside ... back on to the main issue. Even a society and culture like** UK doesnt allow free or easy access to Porn**. Just because Pakistan's authorities decided to put a ban on Porn material, doesnt mean they are zabardasti depriving the nation of something ! infact its a brilliant move. Very much needed.
Wrong. You can access internet Corn freely if you own your own personal computer, your own internet connection. And yeah no watching it in front of other people. I'm guessing the government can't stop you as long as you're doing it privately. And yeah no child Corn.

Most importantly due to our religious values. Next, due to the moral values. In the west and non islamic cultures, kids are given sex education which tells them what is right and what is wrong, despite that , they will not have free and easy access to Porn material. It is seen as a vice and non acceptable act if someone says they enjoy watching this crap. People at work get dismissed in less then 2 seconds if they are found watching porn or keeping objectionable pictures or material in their computers. Such is the level of vigilance that the government keeps on the nation.

I guess I'd get fired too, if I viewed corn at my workplace. But that's because I'd be making other people uncomfortable doing that. I guess this might even fall under the category of Sexual Harassment.

So why does it all get wrong when a Pakistani government wants to do the same? Pakistan doesnt endorse any sex education, which means one is already vulnerable if shown this creepy world of porn.. on top of that, you want easy and free access to Porn? Infact, in muslim countries, this should be a made a criminal act to have anything to do with objectionable material.

Because the government shouldn't be interfering in your personal life.
Is our government doing anything about bringing Sex-Ed to Pakistani classrooms? No.
Chicken how about not suggesting such laws(criminal prosecution for viewing porn) to Pakistanis, when you yourself live in a free country. No offence intended.

Governments have the responsiblity to control all means of communication that can exploit their moral, civil, religious or any other values. Since they cant control individual people , they create policies that create hurdles on a larger level, for example , blocking all objectionable material on networking sites. Making it illegal to import or export CD's, that contain this material.

Government has the responsibility to protect our lives not our morals. The government is failing miserably at the former, so it should really re-evaluate it's priorities.
All that said, I'd take a corn ban over a youtube ban any day of the week.
