Jumping in late here, but I don't agree with what appears to me to be Junior's argument, of "don't like, don't look".

The porn industry, much like the other vice-based industries it so overtly and covertly in your face with their product that I believe the government needs to extremely regulate them.

Take a look at cigarette or alcohol advertising in the proximity of schools. The corporate vice-mongers want, no need, the next generation of addicts to become exposed to their product.

You can hardly do a search on Google without coming up with pornographic material, even with filters on. There is a blatant ongoing strategy to addict your kids to this material. This needs to be stopped.

Now before you get all bent out of shape, I do not agree with your choices, or your argument, but I do agree with your right to decide what you you expose yourself to. Keyword, YOURSELF!

It is your freedom as an American. A freedom many of our brothers and sisters have died to protect, a freedom I would die to protect, however, let's keep this in context.

I am talking about the proliferation of temptatation in the form of graphic and inappropriate material where it does not belong, in my face, or in the faces of my future children. If I want to be exposed to it, I can seek it out.

It's nothing more than SPAM, un-solicited, un-welcome, SPAM!

Regulate it to protect the children, that's my 2 cents!

Ahem. It is regulated. For instance, all participants, by law, have to be over 18, and no minors can access pornography. What I was against was outlawing it as these prudes would try to force on the rest of us.
