Conspiracy Theories - they have never had such a big audience
Porn
Cyber bullying
Everyone is now a retail expert and can sell via e-bay/Gumtree etc
Decline of the high street
Decline of the record industry sales

I like the internet too but I'm not sure Cyber Bullying should go in the "pros" list.

Maybe I picked up on the wrong side of this but my list was not a list of positive attributes on the web

more a list of what the web site has created

it has many huge benefits as we all know

He was joking.

The internet is to blame for people not actually talking to each other face to face anymore.

The internet is a fantastic tool for the pre-internet generations to have infinite rants about things they don't understand.

Say that to my face...

I'm going to take that light-heartedly

Yes, please do. It was meant light-heartedly as my original comment was about people not talking face to face.

It was a crap joke, im not afraid to admit it

Rule 34

Detention Centre Rule 34...

Medical examination upon admission and thereafter

34.—(1) Every detained person shall be given a physical and mental examination by the medical practitioner (or another registered medical practitioner in accordance with rules 33(7) or (10)) within 24 hours of his admission to the detention centre.

(2) Nothing in paragraph (1) shall allow an examination to be given in any case where the detained person does not consent to it.

(3) If a detained person does not consent to an examination under paragraph (1), he shall be entitled to the examination at any subsequent time upon request.

...or are you talking about the Porn one?

Either.  I'd not encountered them in the pre-internet days.

But.....  despite the explosion in availability of hard-core porn, depicting everything imaginable (and frequently the unimaginable too !), it is still illegal in the UK to publish an image of an erect penis.  You can print photos of what a woman's had for lunch, spreadeagled, but a hard-on ?  Good God no !!  That would corrupt society !!

Such is the obscene publications act.  Another one of the those antiquated laws, like drug control, that successive spineless governments won't update because it might generate negative publicity.

Who the duck wants to see an erect penis?

Lots of people do.  I don't particularly, but as a heterosexual male that's not really surprising.  The point is that it's sexist.

I'm not so sure, I mean who wants to see a white van with a massive photo of a cock on the side out making the daily rounds? I know my kids don't.

I think the internet just enables things people already want to do. If you have a problem with what happens on it then you will come to realise that it's just shitty humans everywhere to blame.

Snowflake, self righteous, condescending, indignant, hypocritical, selfish, insular, ignorant, feminazi libtards who, along with all their other insular 'Friends' who also only frequent the same websites and don't talk out of their clicky social circle in real life, are so busy in their insular worlds looking down their noses at everyone whilst frantically virtue signalling about some people's plight in some far away country or shouting down democracy because it doesn't complement their version of righteousness, that they completely blind to helping their neighbour, the old lady across the street and the homeless sleeping rough on the streets or anyone else who actually exists beyond their own noses.


And bored MILFs addicted to Facebook.


(I may have learnt some of those terms online)

I often wonder what you'd be doing if there was no Internet. Something akin to a well-oiled street preacher, I reckon.
