I haven't advocated illegal activities. I've told you to mind your own business regarding what I do LEGALLY in my home.

Obscene materials are not constitutionally protected "speech." If the police have reason to suspect you possess such contraband, then they can bust your door down.

Quite the non sequitor. I possess no "contraband". I haven't stated pronography is "free speech". Your apparent enthusiasm for having the police bust my door down is disturbing. How do you reconcile that with your self-proclaimed conservativism?

And you then are screeching at the judge: "Hey, the cops planted that memory stick on me! That's THEIR porn, not mine!"

Do we really need to start filling up jails with guys downloading porn off the internet and wacking off in the bathroom? Hasn't the war on drugs taught us anything?

Oh, looky! TJ's back for another round of "It IS illegal, dammitt! I KNOW so!"

"Obscene materials are not constitutionally protected "speech." If the police have reason to suspect you possess such contraband, then they can bust your door down"

The outright glee with which TJ and people who think like him advocate "busting down doors"...over something as silly as "dirty pictures"...is, to say the least, troubling given that we are supposed to be a FREE society. The rhetorical and intellectual gymnastics they must perform to claim that private activities harm other people to the extent that the law must proscribe them is, however, funny.

Um, no. Possession of obscene material is not illegal. Production and distribution are.

However, no prosecutor in his right mind would attempt to get a conviction against someone for producing "plain vanilla" mainstream porn.
