Just wondering if the Cyber Porn class is available online? I mean, since that's where all the porn is these days. Ha,ha. hilarious

Just a thought. I'll bet there are some folks out there with a PhD in that area just without the piece of paper. Smile

Wow, no wonder our society is in such bad shape, calling some of those courses "education"!? And to think of all the money those colleges probably receive from people taking those courses.........
