There's so much to love about people, but what filled my heart with joy today is the conviction with which people deny reality. Specifically, this.

The article details how the ICANN, the group responsible for approving internet domain name suffixes such as .com and .net, delayed a final decision on approval of .xxx after "unprecedented" last minute opposition against the creation of an online "red light district."

What's heartwarming is that those opposed to online pornography refuse to acknowledge that the internet is already drowning in it. Though the war is over and the cumdrunk cockgobblers won, people continue to fight meaningless battles. To them it matters little if those battles might actually serve as a path to fairer regulation down the road. Sure, pornographic site addresses ending with .xxx would be easy for parents, schools, or governments to identify and filter, and of course, the creation of the suffix would provide opponents of internet porn with a mechanism to argue that all pornographic content should be required to be hosted under a .xxx domain, but who cares? Throw the fucking baby out with the bathwater, because moral superiority means utter blindness to reality.
