Pornography, it's values and evils are not a big part of life. If you like pornography fine. Don't force it on me.

If you are viewing pornography in a public place, unless you can confine the view of it to your own personal space, you are forcing it on others. Unless, that is, you want to assume that everyone should pass through public spaces with their eyes on the floor because it's their responsibility to avert their eyes from what other people are looking at in the open rather than the responsibility of the other person not to view it in public.

And if you cannot justify the prohibition of pornography in public spaces, do you support the prohibition of nudity and sex in public spaces, or is that fine with you, too. I mean, who are we to impose our morality on people with an urge to have sex and force them behind closed doors, right?

Don't impose your views on me. I put this issue right next to gun control, the war on drugs, tort reform, taxation, welfair, equal opportunity, and a host of other issues where people need to impose their will upon me.

Do you believe in property rights? That's imposing your view on others because not everyone does. Oh, you might think you've got good reasons to protect property rights but, really, should you be imposing your views on others?

It's been 42 minutes, I'm still waiting for plan2succeed.org to think of a lie.


He's been here since 7:03, at least.

If I saw you do that I would call you out on the spot. I would deal with you right then and there.

All the rest of your arguments are straw men.
