I've got a coffee table book at home that has nothing but vintage tin plate porno in it. Sex has been around a long time.

And I'm sure every 11 year old kid had easy access to such books and they were sold at the check-out counter at the local general stores.

The porn innundation we have now is practically unprecedented in history. It will utterly ennervate our society. Some of you people won't know what hit you until the *real* crackdown begins. And it won't be your fellow Americans doing the cracking. Take a lesson from Rome and Weimar Germany while we still can...

That is up to the parents to police their kids are they not? My parents used to raid my room looking for contriband on a regular basis. I'll be doing the same to my daughter once she gets a tad older.

Yes. Let's learn a lesson from Germany and not start burning books for objectionable content.

So, considering that it's not too difficult, through fines and sting operations, to punish shopkeepers who knowingly sell tobacco to 11-year-olds, why do you consider the same basic circumstance in the realm of porn to demand draconian federal action?

Of all the crimes I can think of, porn stands alone as totally victimless. As long as we're talking about adults, then WHY THE HELL IS IT ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS that someone produces, distributes or consumes pornography? It has precisely ZERO effect on you. You talk like just knowing that porn is out there somehow makes your life suck.

Every time somebody uses the words "you people", I get a vision of swastika armbands.

Are you a fellow American?
