Will they ban “50 shades of gray” and other “women’s porn”?

At the risk of being flamed by Libertarians and strict Constitutionalists here...I’d have to agree.

I haven’t read the resolution, but just based on the excerpt, I love it

So who is the arbiter of what is pornography and what is not pornography?

Maybe the FR church lady contingent can weigh in on which government agency will be tasked with that determination ...

One of the things I tried to do as a father was rigidly control my children’s access to the internet.

They were home schooled, no cell phones till they were teenagers, and only “stupid” phones.

They did get personal computers, but I killed the internet access until they were just shy of going to college, then they got regular laptops for taking to college.

If they saw porn, then they had to work overtime to get it. And probably learned a heck of a lot of how to use the computer to do so.

Nonsense.

It’s like saying masturbation leads to sex.

Sex crimes do not occur because people masturbate. They don’t even occur because people don’t masturbate. This is a ridiculous connection.

Children need to be raised by parents. They love their parents so much and try hard to be good people. The farther away kids grow up from parents, the less time the parents care for them, kids don’t have quite the same ease at developing morals.

If we worry about sex crimes, we need stronger parental supervision and to keep poor kids who can’t afford children from hooking up etc. the stronger the family the better chance of not raising criminals.

Sex crimes are violent crimes and only a certain person devoid of morals becomes a violent criminal.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I don’t know what this gets the legislature. The law on porn is well developed. Its protected so they can’t ban making it. Its distribution can be limited but not banned. Even if hard core porn in banned, most cable and even network TV has loads of softcore porn that falls just short of showing actual sex acts. The state can’t ban internet porn. So what can they do? Provide therapy sessions for horny teenage boys? They’d be better off spending their money on other epidemics, like drug enforcement laws to fight the heroin and meth epidemics that now infect rural America.

so, if there is no rape or abuse, it’s not pornography ?
it must be erotica ...yeah, that’s the ticket.

(Yes, I read the bill). The rest of the assertions use weasel words.

Sex Education was supposed to be the counter to porn. That is how many ‘progressives’ sold it to schools decades ago.

Sort of like the Big Tobacco settlement 2 decades ago was supposed to reduce youth smoking.

GOOD GRIEF, why is this country so obsessed with sex?? The VD rates are off the charts, I don’t know anyone who isn’t infected with something or who hasn’t had an abortion.

People, find something else to do!

Isn’t that the same logic the Progs are using on guns?

The government has no business passing a resolution regarding personal behaviors. I’m sure I am in the minority here, but whatever people want to watch or do in their own homes or between themselves is their own business and none of the government’s. If the government wants to pass a public law against various forms of pornography, great, pass it and then defend it in court under free speech provisions. Until then, government should not be in the business of opining on people’s morals.

Pornography is a plague. It contaminates young minds and pollutes their view of what sex should be. It is infiltrating and ripping mariages apart.

I think most men and many women have been in trenches with this tool of Satan at one point or another. It’s everywhere now.

Posturing that will accomplish nothing.

Instead of trying to close Pandora’s box, why not investigate the actual crimes that are occurring?

If I hire you to have sex with a Prostitute and film it, its against the law. If I hire a prostitute to have sex with you, film it, transfer it to DVD, sell it as “Adult” entertainment, its all perfectly legal. What?
