Recently, a retired politician commented that uncontrolled internet is horrible. It is blamed for rape. People writing articles with no managers provide direction, no editors to check.
First rebuttal - given the track record of Utusan Malaysia, it doesn't look like their editors nor managers are doing a fantastic job. They have lost case after case when sued for defamation. Some settled out of court. Most ended up with a huge "apology". The fact that managers and editors are good - well, that's untrue. They could be good in being 'yes' men. Truth will still be the victim.
Then, this politician goes on. Rape, sexual crime will all increase due to porn. My rebuttal: if they watch enough porn and masturbate like a wild baboon, they won't be able to rape anyone. But on a more serious note:
- Since most rapist have a penis, are we going to say penis is causing rape and it should be removed?
- If people was so easily influenced, how come students still fail? They have good teachers, and good fellow students. But some will still fail. Why? According to his logic, they must all pass. Else, the teachers or other students must be lousy. But some will excel. Some will fail. Why?
- If it was that easy, why send your kids to university. Just lock them in a room with tonnes of law books - they will come out as a lawyer. No?
So, if I were to stay in a temple, do you really think I will stop bonking? I better not mess up a place of worship. If the internet has tonnes of research paper, and idiots end up with porn only, what else can we say? Blame the internet? Censor it? Babysit them?
And no matter how we censor, babysit, clamp down, idiots will be idiots. They will buy hamsap DVDs, make their own porn, rape their daughters. There is no end. The point is, idiots will be idiots. Don't blame the internet. Don't blame the rapper or some rock stars.
It reminds me too much of the "I raped her because she looked so sexy". Oh really? What about "I punched him because he looked like an idiot"?
