Pakistan is a country of many religions. You people hear the lady saying that I should appericiate Pakistan for this that it ranked no.1 atleast for pornography. This shows their extreme biase towards Pakistan and Muslims.

The internet show in question is called The Young Turks and it's headed by a Muslim/agnostic Turk by the name of Cenk Ughyr. The show is pro-Palestine, anti-US interventionism, progressive and is generally very pro-Muslim, pro-immigration and so on. If anything, the show is biased towards Muslims. Watch their other episodes on Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.
Secondly, banning anything is not good. If we are to learn anything from China and Iran, it is that you can't ban anything on the internet. It's impossible. People will use torrents, other peer-to-peer services, proxy-servers and redirects and what not to search for whatever they want.
Banning sets up a dangerous precedent. Today, they'll ban porn, tomorrow, they'll start banning information they don't want you to see. How will you stop them then? Censorship is like a Pandora's Box. Once you open it, you can't stop stuff from coming out. If you allow your government to censor the internet (the only source of truly free information) for whatever reason, you're putting chains and cuffs on your own hands and feet.
Therefore, I believe in prevention rather than this suggested bandage-cure. If the 15-year-old kid has problems with porn, he should encourage his friends to spend their time playing sports instead of searching for pornography on the internet.
At the same time, I've met people who've spent their entire lives in boys-only and girls-only institutions and their level of sexual frustration is dangerous high in a lot of cases. They view the opposite gender as walking "things" to be had sex with. It's disgusting but this is what gender-segregation does to most folk. That really is a problem. People here are sexually frustrated. Men stare at women in the streets. This doesn't happen in London and New York because it's normal for women to be out but since we have locked up our women at home, whenever men see a single woman, they get excited.
So when your people are going for heroin and you take their heroin away, they'll start intoxicating themselves with other things. To solve the issue, try and understand why they're addicted to the heroin in the first place and solve the problem at its root. Going after porn sites is a futile activity because even if the government establishes a department of a thousand men who work day and night to block all porn on the internet, any 13 year old can easily visit all those blocked websites and their content though a proxy server or a peer-to-peer connection. It's a waste we can't afford. And the whole world will also laugh at us.

What is the link between co-education and evil? I have studied in co-education institutions all my life and I can assure you that there is a lot more perversion in people who have not had the opportunity to be normal friends with people of the opposite gender.
