| 1245317 | 2011-11-24 19:58:00 | Question:Why does everyone always think of the negative side of that. Example: From the Sept 2011 PC & Tech Authority Mag, "100 Technologies that changed the World" See attachment -- or are people still so one sided and prudish Although it is a lot of money. But selling the silver- errrrrrrrrrr no ! Also try reading the comments on that page. Clearly Stuff is now expecting a 'prurient response' from outraged members of society. Don't fall into the trap. |

| 1245319 | 2011-11-24 20:18:00 | Maybe someone can explain why anyone would spend $780m for people to study Porn when there is any amount who would pay to do it? :confused: And how many Joint Replacements and Cataract operations would $780m cover? |

| 1245320 | 2011-11-24 20:33:00 | That 780 is a fraction of waste, it works on the it's not my money principle. | Cicero (40) | ||

Example: From the Sept 2011 PC & Tech Authority Mag, "100 Technologies that changed the World" Well as a woman I can think of at least one reason. As for that article, right....only pron was responsible for tech. Actually I thought it was games, that did more that the need to view a few pics and video clips. And has a lot more participants too. Regardless, research on it? Pitiful. |

| 1245322 | 2011-11-24 20:54:00 | I was curious about what the Marsden Fund (www.royalsociety.org.nz) was. It appears that it is a Government Fund. | Bobh (5192) | ||
| 1245323 | 2011-11-24 21:08:00 | I Think people missed the point of this research. Stuff has made it out to be something quite evil however the study isn't about studying porn itself. They are looking at the effects of pornography on society. Its an entirely different matter that is likely to be beneficial. Unfortunately with news they often make a big deal out of something that's quite innocent in its own right. I understand how the topic of pornography can be considered best left untouched however this isn't a study of porn. Its a study on its effects. |

I don't think they are getting quite that much money. Pay more attention to detail please, or I will have to fail you! |

It is $780,000 not $780,000,000. Get your figures in order. |
