How much does a pound of flesh cost? This is a revealing indicator: the esti mates are that the Sex Industry for video and DVD alone generates between $10 billion and $12 billion a year in income in the US and Canada alone. That shames Hollywood, which brought in a record $9.6 billion in the same regions for 2007, a feat not yet repeated. Flesh always sells better and quicker.

The figures shows that many people buy and support porno. I wished it was completely banned of the internet as like many others that do not buy porn I hate being bombarded whilst online it was not what the WWW vision was originally about.

What I could never understand is why porno sites have been allowed to flourish, my objection to this is not a religious one I am an atheist. Daily my email accounts are bombarded with sex orientated spam and I am often thrown onto a sex site when I am surfing and researching for some of the articles I write. But that’s not the only factors why I feel that porn should be banned on the internet.

I agree with you everytime you turn around there is a popup taking you to a site. With me I do so much undercover work with missing people and with the Jessica Foster case I see it everyday. Thank you for your comment.

The online realm has its merits and demerits. While we can use it to increase our knowledge, expand our horizons on the realities and the truths around us, there are also risks attached with it. Perhaps the best thing to do is to be cautious and vigilant. It will require rebooting the whole internet system just to wash away and remove all the dirt and poison that already made cyberspace its home.
