"Slowly, very slowly our society is eroding away to humanistic headonism."

We're there already or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

"Soon marriage will be any group of living things that like to have sex with each other."

Unless we do something about rogue courts, you are right. But society has a vested interest in protecting the sanctity of marriage as an institution.

The government has no business peering into your computer. If they can look for porn, they can look for people like you and me who disagree with the liberal agenda.

"You mentioned age as a limiting factor for porn but that is a silly manmade constraint."

I hardly think it is silly. There is a long tradition in this country of determining the age of consent by statute.

"The average ho starts her career at 14 years old."

If true, pretty sad. I haven't taken any polls of prostitutes so I can't verify your claims. However, my guess is the prostitute of 14 comes from a broken family or is strung out on drugs because her parents have lost control of her, or society has prevented them from protecting her. It has little to do with prostitution per se. It has more to do with the breakdown of family and community, the destruction of traditions and the concept of family and personal honor, and the total loss of compass of mainstream religious groups.

If prostitution and drugs were decriminalized, the state could regulate them like anything else. Even tax them.

Personally, I find the concept of politicians supporting themselves by making money from prostitutes aptly appropriate.

I have a rebellious daughter and studied prostitution a bit out of fear. 14 is a number that I saw in several places. Actually I think it was 14.5 and that was an average. Here in CR Ia, girls in middle school who are at most 14 are giving hummers for money.

That is definitely a comment fit for a sig!

This does more harm to this nation than any amount of porn could ever do.
