After all none of our teenagers look at porn here. We should not allow 3rd world people anything remotely close to what goes on here? Don't you think the filtering is the responsibilty of who ever provides internet???? not the the people who supply the FREE COMPUTERS? don't get me wrong i am not for porn but come on lets lay blame where it should lay and not blame great social organizations who are trying to make a difference in the world. Get off you couch and stop b*tching and make a difference. Unbelievable its a crime that Poor teenage boys are looking at porn! After all none of our teenagers look at porn here.

The reason why these countries have low birth rates sure as hell isn't porn, it's high education and the willingness to have a career. Neither of which is a bad thing. Getting a billion kids has always been a way for poor and uneducated people to ensure that some of their children will survive to adulthood and help feeding the family. With higher wealth, that need decreases since childbirth lowers and the ability of a single person to sustain a whole family increases.
