We're going to have many millions of shattered families and lost souls because of the ease of obtaining porn. So should we ban it then, in which it will go underground and attract child pornographers and other hardcore sex criminals?
Better to just keep it legal and strictly regulated as it is now.

I applaud Sen. Brownback for his courage in tackling this tough issue. Judith Reisman has done incredible work in the field and is a top voice exposing the fallacies of homosexuality as a lifestyle. http://drjudithreisman.com/
Our kids are being hurt today by the sheer preponderance of porn and it's too bad more adults aren't sensitive to the resulting mind warping being pushed on their own kids. I once heard a child psychologist say that any parent taking a child to a sleezy "adult" film is guilty of child abuse and I agree with that assessment. (There is nothing adult or mature about porn.)
Free speech is great, but porn is not free speech - it's screaming fire in a crowded theatre. It has no usefulness for the common good of society. Some on this thread who think this is not a major issue are speaking out of sheer heartlessness and ignorance. Unfortunately, the children pay the mental cost.

I've seen the destruction MANY ADDICTIONS TO ITEMS/RESOURCES/DIVERSIONS/ACTIVITIES do with my own eyes -- it IS horrible, but the fault lies not in the inanimate object but in the weakness of SOME users.

It's disgusting, and I wouldn't marry any man that looks at porn. How long can guys stay in puberty looking at naked girls?

I could say exactly the same thing about born-again christianity - that I know people who are being destroyed by their addiction to their religiosity. there's no hope for someone what actually believes something like this. well, a miracle maybe... but apart from that, a lost cause.
best wishes.

it is idiocy to report the fact that I have witnessed the decline of more than one person into religious mania, which caused the dissolution of their families, the loss of their wealth, the decline of their physical and mental well being, the termination of their social contacts, and in some cases their lonely wretched deaths?
This is idiocy to you?
And what would you call the attitude you yourself just now so kindly paraded?

...researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about the dangers.
***
Please stop your studies. Just stopp'em.
We cannot afford anymore.

70s porn was kinda cool. The loud, guitarish background music...that's how Dennis Miller described the Clinton Presidency!
Besides if porn was gone how would I get my weekly Jenna Jameson fix?

I agree. But its a grey area... hard to define & regulate. In a perfect world, there would be no need for porn... obviously the need is there (and no I'm not justifying it), just look at the incredible sales figures. But at the same time, look at the annual sales of crack cocaine.
I think the world is a perpetually imperfect place.

So if someone is weak you say "Sucks to be you!"???

Users that is the key. Screw these devioates. They are after the almighty dollar, that is all. They don't need consultation they need a fourty four mag.

see #45 and #49, and re-read #35 -to which you took such exception- in its entirety this time, if you please: I made it very explicitly clear that I did not castigate religion or its Object.

And is that a reason for it to be heavily regulated by the government, or banned outright???
Hey, it was tried once with another "social problem": It was called Prohibition.
Look how well it turned out...
