I'll boil it down: Adult pornography, produced and consumed by consenting adults, harms no unwilling person. it has existed since people first scratched pictures on cave walls, and societies have come and gone regardless.
Also, prosecuting a "war" on it is wasteful, foolish distraction from a REAL war in which we now find ourselves, and would serve no purpose other than to infringe on the rights of peaceable citizens to conduct their lives as they wish. The history of such "wars" on vices makes this abundantly clear.
Your calls for killing those who produce it, and for jailing those who consume it, are wildly extreme to the point of laughability, and are based soley (to be charitable) on your own, individual religious beliefs, which are not shared by many people, and thus should not be imposed on them by such extreme force as you advocate.
Furthermore, such imposition would cost billions of scarce dollars, and put at risk the lives of police and military who have MUCH better things to worry about.
Your approach has the effect of removing liberties from citizens and creating criminals where there were none before.
Okay, Joe...let's hear your rebuttal, and let us all see what you call logic and reason.
We will never win the War on Terror if we are an immoral, indecent, degenerate people who pimp their daughters out, and we won't deserve to. We cannot confront enemies abroad when our Republic is undermined by enemies within.
Pimps deserve to die. I think there are many non-religious people who share my opinion in this matter.
The cost to this nation will be much greater in the long run if our moral culture is completely destroyed at the hands of porn-pushing pimps and social liberals than it will cost to stop the problem now.
Those people afflicted with the terrible pathology pornography inflicts will be much better off having been stopped in their tracks and given a chance to change their lives.
No, it all "boils down" to access and promoting social anarchy.
Because many are more than "willing" to voluntarily wallow in their own defecation; fornicate in public; shoot up in front of nursery school; bludgeon each other to death on the street, shall society establish ANY restriction whatsoever based upon the words "consenting adults"?
And btw -- because necromancy, bestiality, and drinking blood have "existed since people first scratched pictures on cave walls," shall OUR society sanction and condone IT?
Afterall, it can be argued neither of those actions "harms" anyone either.
