Misleading poll. Smut = porn, which there can never be enough of, much less too much. But yes the internet has gone downhill in direct proportion to its accessability to the unwashed masses. Had you said what you meant in your poll... ah what am I saying, nobody on AT does that >_<

I'm still a bit confused on what the OP is trying to say. the post seems to be about rude behavior, but there is also reference to porn. is the OP implying some kind of causal relationship between them? 😕

Actually what I was saying is that rude and disgusting behavior, potty mouths, etc., are directly proportional to the amount of vile filth and smut on the internet, especially certain popular youtube videos (some of which have even appeared on Saturday Night Live and star Justin Timberlake). It seems to give a green light to people to not only act that way, but expect that same bad behavior from others.

You now are expected to anticipate the worst from others: any single man at a theme park is presumed to be a pedophile, no one ever has an innocent motive because they are simply trying to "get sex or money" from you, you cant speak to strangers because you will likely piss them off, etc.

Thats what Im talking about, and I blame it on the war against morality and virtues waged everyday on the internet and TV.
 
Yes there is far too much garbage and waste of space. However the beautiful thing about the net (unlike TV/Radio) is I choose what and when I want to see/hear and thus can avoid all that stuff. 🙂

Hmm!! Depends on what you mean. What would be considered garbage and waste of space?

Dude, that shit was funny as hell!

How old are you anyway? 😕
 
yes there is too much smut, and let me tell you why
really fucking good porn of all kinds are too freely accessible now. you can find any of your favorite sites ripped on overseas websites, porn bbs, torrents, rapidshares, 4chan for all the extreme and illegal shit, and newsgroups if you're lucky enough to get an isp that doesn't butcher their service(RIP verizon newsgroups).
anyways, the point is, sexual arousal has a desire aspect of it, being able to obtain what you can't have.
so the pathway for sexual arousal is first a desire of something you don't have but you anticipate or fantasize about having, and you go for it.
so if everything you want to see can be had effortlessly, the aspect of "what i can't have" in sexual arousal is gone
and that's what happens with smut online.
wanna see the hottest fucking girls doing any act or fetish in high quality HD videos, or 16MP to up to 39MP photos of thousands of the hottest fucking women ever in thousands of different angles and poses?
with the internet, you'll have easy access to more than you can ever dream to imagine, effortlessly, that'll it'll make you numb to porn.

I didn't know what the hell smut meant until I did a google search it. :-/

Anyway, accidentally voted Yes. I meant no. There is too much porno when every page you go to has it and there is no way to safeguard against it. 🙂

LMAO

nube.
 
Yes, way too much.
I like the .xxx domain idea.

Kids should not be able to see DVDA videos when they are searching for DVDs.

"Kids" shouldn't be on the internet, period. Although, you need to define kids... Are we talking <10 or what? By 12, you want to see these videos. 😉

EDIT:Also, use a better search engine or figure out how to use search terms properly!

You pointed out jizz in your pants. And theres an example of moral decay in society. Can you imagine a bunch of roudy people at the mall pretending to "jizz in their pants" at every other person walking by?

If I saw such behavior I would notify mall security and help bring order to chaos. Unfortunatley, we have a revolving door system and they would probably just come right back in start all over again. Thanks youtube!

Hopefully, I would have enough time to buy a new pair of Levis from Dillards before said hooligans return.

Lastly, Im old enough to remember the good old days prior to the WWW....the 70s, the 80s, and the 90s. After Sept 2001, it was all downhill. :brokenheart:

I don't know. If I don't want to see smut, I don't go to smut sites. If I do want to see smut, I browse my bookmarks.
