NO, the REAL disease is the mainstreaming of porn and perversion into everyones home via TV internet etc. You have the right to look at and do what you want so long as you don't squash the rights of others. We should go back to the days of dirty little rooms where people who crave this kind of crap can have all they want and leave the rest of us alone. This country has turned into a cesspoool. We have a right to be FREE FROM garbage. The damage is done sometimes before the channel can be turned. Our TV stations used to have a code of ethics--perhaps you are too young to remember that. We need to get back to the media taking some responsibility (and #1 they can get rid of that syphlitic dirtball Howard Stern and his sick piggish friends)

The right to be free from garbage? I don't remember that one being enumerated. I do remember we have the right to property, (.e.g., to earn money and pay for things of our choosing), but the freeware of TV (as opposed to the equipment) has always been paid for by advertisers, who basically follow the tastes of the viewers that tune in, and they do tend to have all kinds of demographic info re: who does. So when it's free it's basically worth every penny (popular tastes prevail). And the recipient has no right to expect anything of much value at all.
Turn it off - turn to FoxNews only. Whatever. Regulating others tastes is a waste of valuable lifespan.

You have the right to look at and do what you want so long as you don't squash the rights of others

Ok, I want to watch horse porn. Stop trying to use government to squash my 'right' to do so.

Guess you don't really see what you're saying.

We have a right to be FREE FROM garbage.
No you do not. You have the right to turn off your TV, change the channel, not BUY a TV, or buy a TV that has parental controls built in (all digital cable and satellite systems do).

What you DON'T have a 'right' to do is to pass laws telling the rest of us what we can and can't watch.

"We should go back to the days of dirty little rooms where people who crave this kind of crap can have all they want and leave the rest of us alone. This country has turned into a cesspoool. "

Well, there are other countries you could move too that aren't as horrible as you think the US is regarding sex... Isn't porn illegal in India?

"NO, the REAL disease is the mainstreaming of porn and perversion into everyones home via TV internet..."

"We should go back to the days of dirty little rooms where people who crave this kind of crap can have all they want and leave the rest of us alone."

Let's see, on the first sentence you identify the fact that the internet is in my house, and on the second, you not only show the desire to control/eliminate what I can view in the privacy of my house, but beyond that, you want to send me out in public to view it.

I have some suggestions for you on how to avoid internet porn:

Don't buy internet service for your house.
Get internet service through an ISP that filters out porn and adult content.
Get any one of the many software programs available to you (some free of charge) that filters out porn, and blocks out questionable content.

But no! That's too damned complicated for you, so instead, you want to control what I do in MY house.

Where in the Constitution is our right to be free of (written, spoken, shown)garbage? The larger problem is that government has assumed all authority once in the Church, communities, business, etc. by way of the courts and tort system. When you can be literally sued for your entire net worth plus just for expressing your opinion in public it lays a chill on any entity without"sovereign immunity".
