I wasn't talking about making any law. Please reread my post.
If you disagree about the need for objective science as a guide to policy, then you'll want to run along to the DUmpster to pledge your support for Algore's environmental agenda.
"Objective" science is a fine guide to policymakers when combined with other guides, such as religious belief, philosophy, gut reactions, and common sense. The scientific method is not the be-all end-all of human judgement, fortunately.
"The history of pornograhy since the 1940s bears me out."
Since the 1940s? Really, I hadn't expected the sort of person who thinks that the world began with their own generation to take much interest in FR.
No argument, huh? You should know that weak attempts at ad hominem won't work on me. Please try again.
"The only permanent way for a culture to avoid an endless spiral into the sewer is for a change to occur in people's hearts so that the demand for pornography disappears. Barring that, laws against porngraphy must be passed and strictly enforced."
Since no sane person believes that either is possible in the real world, why bother?
Quelle jejeune. Why bother with anything?
Your unsupported assertion ("no sane person believes that either is possible in the real world") may be true in your cynical version of the Real World, but kindly do not assert the same for the reality the rest of us inhabit. People's hearts can be changed; the production and sale pornography can be outlawed by the enforcement of extant law.
Really, if you're going to insist on denying what you wrote, you ought to try a board that doesn't provide links to the message to which a reply is directed....
