Hogwash. Outlawing this kind of industry is hardly intolerance for individual liberty, it is standing up to evil for the protection of our daughters.

If you think this is the kind of liberty our forefathers were considering when they crafted the constitution your insane. Read about their discussions. They believed in a restrained liberty.

And if you don't at least speak out against it, you will account for it when you meet your maker. I don't even want to consider what is in store for those who defend it.

"Hogwash. Outlawing this kind of industry is hardly intolerance for individual liberty,"

Of course it is. The woman is an adult, and gives consent, and is even compensated. No one is deprived of life, liberty, or property by force or fraud.

You may feel that her choice is bad, or that those she chooses to work with are, but that is not relevant.

" it is standing up to evil for the protection of our daughters."

Ah, yes, "It's for the CHILDREN!". Except, they're not. Do you agree with the Brady Bunch that an 18-year old gang menmber killed in a shootout counts as a "child", too? Oh, I forgot, he's not one of "our (precious, virginal) DAUGHTERS!

"If you think this is the kind of liberty our forefathers were considering when they crafted the constitution your insane. Read about their discussions. They believed in a restrained liberty."

Would that their discussions constituted law. Unfortunately (and in the case of the Second Amendment, especially) they do not. The Constitution does, and I see no problem with interpreting it to INCREASE, rather than decrease, individual Liberty. It has been interpreted that way, by those charged with so doing. Don't like it? Pass an Amendment, or get judges confirmed who will overturn. But don't assume that everyone on the planet shares your view of porn as "evil".

"And if you don't at least speak out against it, you will account for it when you meet your maker. I don't even want to consider what is in store for those who defend it."

I'll decide for myself what to speak out for or against, thanks.
