“Easy to see that it’s impossible for anything to “deprave and corrupt a significant proportion” of brits..”

Do you see a difference between being offended by something and not wanting to see it on the one hand, and being depraved or corrupted by it on the other? The point simply was, the wording of anti-pornography laws makes it difficult to secure convictions.

And if anything, the situation is even worse in the United States, with obscenity prosecutions being very rare.

“We are talking about letting the citizens of Texas make their own rule of law...”

And who said they can’t do that? Do you read before you post? I (and several others) have argued that sodomy laws etc. are constitutional, whatever the Supreme Court may have said about them.

Ever hear of Sir Edmond Burke? He is the father of modern conservatism, he was a Englishman I respect. He once said..

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". (tolerance)
