Orkutting Ordeals

The college has nothing better to do than block all possible ways of accessing orkut.. and we have nothing better to do than finding new ways of accessing it..

I mean.. come on .. whats the big deal with a social networking site? Are the authorities perturbed by the incidents that make it to the newspapers once in a while- instances of some hapless individual's account being hacked and used for unmentionable purposes? Or instances of shockingly inappropriate content being poured into impressionable minds?

If thats the case, what about our very own blessed LAN? its purpose is to provide us with a safe means of accessing the net and enable us to share useful or entertaining information with each other. Allow me to point out that the definition of useful and entertaining differs from person to person, which is the reason that some "entertaining" individuals of the boys' blocks have put porn into their shared folders. Some of them have even gone to the extent of putting it in the same folder as Tom and Jerry, where they serve to shock unsuspecting surfers like me for time durations varying from 3 seconds to i dont know when.. And did i forget to mention the viruses?

No offence to anyone, but the authorities either think the students are too innocent for such activities or that we are incapapble of handling the intellectual and emotional consequences of being exposed to such content. Then what may i ask is wrong with orkut?
It all boils sown to the fact that we as mature adults should be allowed to choose what we wish to get out of the internet. All of us are definitely aware of the risks of orkutting, so why not let us decide how far we want to go?

Its just amusing to observe that weed and porn , so abundantly available here, and definitely more dangerous than orkutting has failed to evoke the same reaction as the poor little networking site..
