There is a large group posting here--much larger even than the self-described "libertarians"--who seem to love porn so much that they regard the chance to view it as their most basic human and constitutional right. They turn out in droves whenever anyone suggests restricting it (not banning it, just restricting it) to keep it away from kids.

Just a few years ago (when most of these guys were young), porn was an "under the counter" sort of business, the sort of thing associated with dirty old men in raincoats. The idea that children would routinely be exposed to it was just unthinkable.

The cultural decline in this country has been precipitous, and it's certainly not all the fault of liberals.

This is exactly why it's so popular in hotel rooms (and why broadband has taken off). Men are ashamed and, so, want to remain anonymous. Those who want to make a buck off that shame find a way.

Shalom.

What does this proposal have to do with keeping porn away from kids?

You're OK, as infidels go. I think I will kill you last.

"(not banning it, just restricting it) to keep it away from kids."

What kids? Don't you have to be 18 or older to rent a hotel room? If so, there's your restriction right there.

Yes, they do turn out in droves on these threads.

They all say the same thing.

Actually, back in the late 60s/early 70s there were porn sections in a lot of regular bookstores. Regular theatres would have x-rated late shows or features, and adult theatres were all over. And dirty magazines used to be out on the rack in convenience stores. It's less open now.

Yes -- how over the top of them to support that silly "1st Amendment" thingy.

Last time I checked, kids can't rent hotel rooms. So if this is not "keeping it away from the kids" then this is keeping it away from....? (feel free to finish the sentence).
