What's with this Arab/Muslim mentality? What harm can non-pornographic nude photos do to kids?

What's with the racist mentality?

Well you have no idea how much shit and limits I have to go through because of these sickos.

I recently decided to port some apps to Android and Windows 8 to lower my Apple only risk. Diversification is good right? It's been a really mixed bag so far. 1 of my apps is doing better than it's iPhone counterpart, the rest might as well not exist.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing numbers. Are you using something like Mono to share code among platforms or are you doing total rewrites for each port?

So far I've done native rewrites. Initially everything was designed specifically for iOS, so when porting I've just gone with native. I may consider some kind of cross platform option for the next completely new app. I haven't decided yet. (In general I think native is better, but there are obviously benefits to writing one version.)

This can be a lesson in learning not to trust your instincts then: http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500368_162-1464262.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_effects_of_pornography http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=106880

Interestingly enough maybe you should read your own links before drawing what you think are exact conclusions in your original post. From the wikipedia article: Pornography's effects on crime and domestic violence have been inconclusive. Some studies support the contention that the viewing of pornographic material may increase rates of sexual crimes whereas others either suggest no effect, or conclude the liberalizat…

I didn't say anything about crime. There are all sorts of things that make your life far worse without causing crime: fast food, credit card debt, laziness. Unsurprisingly, many of them are sexual; promiscuous sex and adultery can ruin your life and the lives of those around you even without STDs.

In a nutshell, I didn't say "porn causes sex crimes," which would have been untrue and silly. I said that sexualized media has major detrimental life effects. And the links that I provided back that up. Keep your kids away from porn. It will hurt them in the long run. Violent video games aren't going to have any effect.

Or searching in safari. The fact that there is an actual web browser on there is what makes these removals so ridiculous.

Parents can disable Safari (and other browsers all have 17+ rating).

How are you supposed to turn on nudity without a browser?
