Of course, I did not post about...how did it go..."crushing them and vacuuming their brains out with a tube." A statement that would only come from the mind of someone who is very, very mentally unstable.

I live in the San Fernando Valley; the "Belly of the Beast", as it were. Trust me, we have more McDonald's restaurants here than adult bookstores, XXX theaters, and porn studios combined.

People always have and always will look at images of other people naked or having sex as long as it available, and if not available, they will seek it. It is human nature.

It happens all over the world. The Internet is not one place, this country is powerless to stop these images from being viewed.

LMAO! You pastor is spreading his own stereotype that women aren't ever 'hot and ready' and that they all 'cook slowly'! Maybe the pastor cannot handle a woman who actually wants sex for the sake of sex and not because it is her 'duty'.

Jenna Jameson, Lisa Sparxxx, Holli Woods, Kelly O'Dell, and Vicca. Your mileage may vary. Check local listings. :^)

Why did you change the subject to drugs? I was talking about porn.

If we are to believe the statistics, then porn leads to, for example, rape. Legal porn would lead to more rape. Granted, we would then prosecute and punish the rapist, but I'm saying let's prosecute and punish the producer of violent porn (simulated rape movies, eg) to minimize the crime caused by it.

You and your "victimless crimes" crowd will be the first to complain that we're locking up non-violent porn producers who have injured no one when we should be going after the rapists. You fail to see that we are going after the rapists by locking up the porn producers.

It was an homage to Ann Coulter saying how one day conservatives would suck the brains out of liberals with a vacuum like they do to innocent babies.

I didn't excpect any of these far-left porn-patriots to get it.

You and your "victimless crimes" crowd

Are you contending that there is no such thing as a victimless crime?

It is simply a symptom not the cause.

For generations, it's been illegal to engage in lewd behavior in the public square. Have such laws even come close to threatening people's right to pray or read the Bible in the public square?

That's not an argument you're presenting.

Comparing lewd behavior in public with prayer/reading is more like a paranoid claiming that an apple is an orange.

Critical words bolded.

I don't "believe" in statistics. I assess their validity.

Porn is more legal now than it has been in the history of the Republic. The legality of porn has increased since the 1970s.

Therefore, the incidence of rape should likewise increase.

Unfortunately for the thesis, the incidence of rape has declined.

Therefore, the statistics used to support the argument are not validated, and thus do not support the argument.

So, you're okay with people giving sexual images away for free?

Tara Patrick or Tera Patrick? Tara Patrick is Carmen Electra's real name. I assume you mean Tera. She's OK.

I know you want to save the world, but shouldn't adults be able to watch or read what they want with out the government telling them they shouldn't? Are we not free to live life as we want so long as we are not harming anyone else? If an adult wants to watch porn, how is he harming anyone?

I'm not sure what percentage of rapes involve the abuse of alcohol on the part of the perpetrator, the victim, or both, but I'd guess its not insignificant. Would you favor, therefore, the prohibition of alcohol?

"Yet twice in your response to my answer you refer to non-kiddie porn."

Yes, because it is my contention that these producers of previously illegal porn will switch to kiddie porn, which could be 16 and 17-year-olds by your definition.

You deny that this would happen. Fine, you're entitled to your opinion. I just don't believe it, that's all.

Probably someone just like you said during prohibition that if we would just legalize alcohol, all the gangs and drive-by shootings would go away.
