The Pornography Plague

It's the porno-patriots who are going to come out of the woodwork.

You guys flock to porn like flies on sh!t.

Take note of who it is that posts threads about porn. YOU!

[Bulwark]

Sounds a bit like the Taliban approach to me.

Me too. But don't tell that to the writer.

Some people get off on imposing their particular worldview on others. Into this category I lump such illustratives as communists, eco-freaks, and puritans.

They can't let others live their own lives. If they're so upset about the supposed connection between porn (legal) and crime, prosecute the crimes. It's like the anti-drug types screaming about drug use leading to crime (not necessarily correlated). Prosecute the crimes if and when they occur pour encourager les autres but let people live their lives the way they elect to do so.

Tell it to Julian Bond and the NAACP.

I would not marry a man that looks at porn.

[horatio]

Which is certainly your right.

[Taquito]

I wouldn't marry a woman who is that uptight about it, that makes us even.

"The current legal definition of obscenity is found in the 1973 case of Miller v. California."

Miller? The only thing about Miller that I remember was something about someone possessing less than 16". Now that's obscene!

(Second amendment inside joke)

This is a free market issue, not a religious one. The only way you can slow the growth of porn (there's no way you can eliminate it entirely) is to educate young people, especially teenagers, and promote traditional values that include men.

Trying to make porn illegal will just cause it to go underground and make it even more nefarious than it already is.

Wrong: it's a symptom of the very fabric of our society falling apart.

As is often the case with societal matters, it's both a symptom and a cause.

[Junior]

And you're a control freak. If you don't like porn, don't partake, but I'll be damned if I let you dictate what I can or cannot read, watch, or listen to. The whole "mind your own business" concept never occurs to you, does it?

[Ace's Dad]

I would not marry a man that looks at porn.

Good for you. A real man, someone who deserves someone like you, doesn't need porn. I gave up on the few Playboy mags I had at about 17. That was a bunch of years ago, BTW.

[cyborg]

Who said I was uptight? I didn't tell you to agree with me did I?

[Tailgunner Joe]

What would you think of a man who believed that the Founding Fathers shed their blood in Revolution against Britain so that Americans can have the right to distribute pornography?

What would you think of people who say they'd rebel against the government if it tried to ban pornography?

Personally, I think they are dangerous psychopaths.

[Lord_Baltar]

:) Playboy was being published when you were 17?

j/k

[cyborg]

I know most guys have looked at Playboy :P But there's something really unseemly about a husband who is getting satisfaction from outside sources and not his wife. I'd want my husband's mind not cluttered with all that porno crap.

[Modernman]

The FCC Act needs to be amended so that the FCC can regulate cable television.

This article can be summed up in five words: We need more government regulation.

Like I've said before, some people must have been asleep in the last century if they still think more government regulation is an answer to anything.

[Poohbah]

Sounds a bit like the Taliban approach to me.
