Society was much better before porn sites and CD media came in around early nineteens.<br /><br />With porn existing its nothing bad for the adults. But not a bit good for the minors.<br /><br />Without porn not existing its good for all.<br /><br />There is a answer for that boy, take a boy and a girl who haven't ever watched porn nor have been taught on how stuff are to be done :P, get them married and do you think nothing would happen in the honeymoon day? :P<br /><br />It comes in our DNAs ppl, Thousands years back, when the first generations of humans appeared on earth there was no porn nor others teaching them about reproductive stuff, they even couldn't talk :P<br /><br />Just leave the porn ban as it is, coz nobody will die without porn :P. Grr I dont want to see my children gaining access to porn when il be having children :) Do you?<br /><br />DilshanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543377656588362127.post-79640754666793080022009-08-16T00:17:39.916-07:002009-08-16T00:17:39.916-07:00@deeps

Thank you all for taking time and <br /><br />effort to publish your thoughts on this.<br /><br />@Leo sadeepa<br />"I hate my prefects for something they did. It <br /><br />was my first day at this Colombo big boys <br /><br />college..."<br />I wonder whether this a disease of the <br /><br />prefects of BIG SCHOOLS because I have <br /><br />never heard of a prefect in a rural school <br /><br />engaging in such action against a student. <br /><br />"What they hardly understand is the <br /><br />responsibility that comes with power". I do <br /><br />agree hundred percent with your idea!! <br /><br />(Sorry I cant give you examples, but deep <br /><br />within my heart I know it is true) This <br /><br />reminds me of nothing but the politicians who mis-use their powers. When these children go up in the social ladder, they might end up being a problem to the whole society, so , it is the duty of the teachers to look deep into this issue.<br /><br />But sometimes, children are so cunning to mislead the teachers too. therefore, a very careful monitoring of the prefects should be done.<br /><br />"One of my friends who works in Family Planning association said that porn creates lots of misconceptions" --- yes can be true. if people like the one I mentioned get their first idea about sex via porn, that definitely going to be a problem. so that is why we should say yes to an education system that openly discuss these matters.<br /><br />@chamila<br /><br />I was referring to <a href="http://jadedshades.wordpress.com/2009/08/03/she-didnt-kill-herself-the-school-pushed-her-into-it/" rel="nofollow"> this </a> post when I said that the school must have a share over her death. However, as you say, it can be a a "specific case with specific causes"<br /><br />@niroshinie<br /><br />Glad to find somebody who experienced so that I would ave at least one person to defend me :P.<br /><br /> well, I was surprised to read that your office administration blocked yahoo mail, it is just stupid. well but in consideration of the company's objective in doing it, we can come to the conclusion that it is another question of mis-usage and the correct usage. By the way, what about the web proxies then? were they too blocked?<br /><br />Hmm, yes, school children are not matured enough to understand what it is all about, but ask from your university friends (UoM right? I have heard of that particular computer lab), they'll sure say they started during the school time. I do not know, where lies the culprit. But this time, it is the government. They started a havoc in the society by banning those web sites and people who have never heard of them now know what they are! and now, two of the ministers are fighting over the ban..just stupid...<br /><br />well, I give thumbs up to china in a situation like thisDeepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617097485866398438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543377656588362127.post-19159289675151074262009-08-15T09:31:02.025-07:002009-08-15T09:31:02.025-07:00Deeps, as someone who went to an all-girls school ...Deeps, as someone who went to an all-girls school I too share your experience regarding guys. It is just after going to uni that I got to have male friends and I too think its a great pity that I missed all that good company. <br />As for prefects, yes, prefectship is great for ones character development - but the school should take care that prefects don't turn to bullies!<br />I think mobile phone ban is not going to solve anything. Maybe they're not an essential item for school kids but I suppose if you have working parents and you need to go to tution or stay after school and stuff they're quite useful. Especially if you live 20+km away from school. I never had a mobile until I got to uni, but I can think of several incidents that happened during my school days where a mobile would have been a lifesaver!<br />The problem lies not with mobile phones, but how we use them. If we use that same mindset, I guess we need to ban books and computers too! <br />As for the porn ban - thats just stupid. During uni days, I know that all my guy friends watched porn but that doesnt make them bad people - in fact they're pretty decent human beings. But I do agree that school children should not have access to porn because IMHO they're not mature enough to understand that porn is not real - that its just a fantasy.<br /><br />Facebook is actually blocked in many offices - not just in SL but many countries. Even at my office FB is blocked. They even blocked Yahoo mail, but after issuing death threats to the sys admin we finally got it back! But of course the motive there is to stop misusing company bandwidth and time..<br /><br />chamila,<br />yes I too am not sure if the whole blame for Kavindi's death should go to Meusaeus college. Having said that, I don't agree with the way they handled it either. All I do know is that noone (government/school) has taken pains to investigate and address the root cause of that tragedy.<br /><br />Anyway great post Deeps! Keep writing. :)ηiRσhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439763812616403492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543377656588362127.post-31193680823081003112009-08-11T06:22:36.847-07:002009-08-11T06:22:36.847-07:00Nice to see that deeps is back on the stage.
I ag...Nice to see that deeps is back on the stage.<br /><br />I agree that schools need to reform the way they think about what education is. The principals care about their recognition, not the schools. The way to get this recognition changes with time. For example, nowadays the most popular way to show the principal's dedication is to paint the walls around the schools with drawings. <br /><br />But with this particular case, the Meusaeus incident, blaming the school is kinda overrated. When we look at the incident it is obvious (from what the school says) that no special treatment was given to the girls. They were treated in the same way that another girl would've been treated if that one had a cell phone. But when we try to find the culprits, the school is the first one we see. What about the girl's mental state? her impulsiveness? why she was scared to death at the thought that her parents would be notified? <br /><br />I think this is a specific case with specific causes. Although it is true that the education system is not working properly, larger weight should be put on the parents. A child learns from parents first. They teach the child through example. Now I know, we would not blame them in this situation, but we should not blame the wrong person also, in this case the wrong institute.<br /><br />Leo,<br />Porn!!! hmm, I would not talk about the educational value of porn, I have not enough facts to prove anything. Watching porn, on the other hand is not a bad drive, or a something out of ordinary. It is actually pretty normal, the craving. This is according to Desmond Morris who says that we humans are way sexually active than any other living being. <br />Personally I think some amount of porn should be there. But an overdose is not good. සිංහලෙන් කියන්නේ ඕනෙම දෙයක් ඔනවට වැඩිය ඕනෙම නෑ කියලා.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543377656588362127.post-49273530621992227302009-08-11T05:06:37.043-07:002009-08-11T05:06:37.043-07:00Interesting post , glad about talking openly. In t...Interesting post , glad about talking openly. In terms of economics what happens when you ban something ? The quantity would be less and demand would increase. Actually banned web sites are reported to have more traffic. Actually more people will reach those banned stuff and the Pornographic monitoring committee would have a time closing nearly 3 million porn sites all around the world. How are they going to block all incoming form through torrents , file sharing , etc. This is a dumb idea for sure. <br /><br />I like the way you have brought the story of the UK girl and prince william story. I hate my prefects for something they did. It was my first day at this colombo big boys college and i was unaware that school didnt permit loops that hold the bet (all other schools do and i dont know the basis of this stupid rule yet). What he did was to cut the loops in middle making me look like a clown. That was my first school day thanks to a mighty prefect.<br /><br />Who grant power to prefects ? The school . I wonder whether the power granted is legal at all. What most prefects dont understand is the fact that "with power comes responsibility" - you get the responsibility of students you look after and with the last suicide incident , prefects could even decide the life and death of a child. The powers of prefects should be regulated. They cant police the children because they themselves are prefects. <br /><br />Some believe that dinosaurs became extinct because they were unable to adapt to the environmental changes. That whats happening to Sri Lankan society now. Teachers and authorities are not ready to accept the world is changing and a thing called an ICT revolution is taking place outside. While the world is preparing to give a "Laptop for each child" in the world the government is banning the mobile phones. <br /><br />Well , deeps cant agree 100% about the proposition about the "educational value" of porn. IMO porn does not educate people how to have sex and if this proposition is true how did people learned those stuff when no porn or internet existed ? One of my friends who works in Family Planning association said that porn creates lots of misconceptions. People will try to experiment porn with their partners and that will sometimes makes their lives miserable and sex an unpleasant experience. <br /><br />We should be happy we don't have that much of teen moms carrying kids to school. The mobile phone mania is a trifle compared with those stuff. I think it's the time to be open. Girls school authorities should be happy that girls hang out with guys and if girls get attracted to girls that would also be problematic. LOL :D<br /><br />We should accept the change around us and take rational steps to manage the change and denying change will be of no use. A dialog should be built to speak about these issues. I appreciate your initiative.Leo Sadeepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580345677161857363noreply@blogger.com
