Hide everything, bury our heads in the sand and turn away our eyes?
Moral cowardice affects our society in more than one way. Our society has failed to find the courage to address controversial and difficult topics and any issue that it fails to address is outright rejected. Just like child molestation and homosexuality which are never addressed, spoken of or considered, these issues remain unaddressed. Child molestation and homosexuality are downright denied, people will deny their very existence so that they do not have to address it.
Moral courage is way different than courage in the battlefield. Most of the people in the entire sub continent lack moral courage to address issues that are "incompatible" with their daily lives. Child molestation in Pakistan isn't just common, it's a menace now and I remember people writing to The News to discontinue the section by the NGO Aangan in US magazine where they replied to confidential mails from abused children. It made people "uncomfortable". Comfort is more important to these people than the life of a child who would most definitely remain psychologically damaged for his life.
It is time we address the "controversial" issues as well.
As far as my opinion is concerned, nobody can stop the rise of a local adult industry. Social conservatism gives rise higher demand for pornography and we all now have sex starved our teenagers are. This isn't a menace produced by the modern age or Interweb, this has been the same since time immemorial.
Whether we want to stop the proliferation of this industry is up to the general public opinion, but as far as I see it this can never be stopped.
man, Industrial Joke , the only **** Industry on stock exchange is in Australia.
