Hardcore porn could be considered just another form of adultery.
It wouldn't take much money at all to police it,
Are you kidding me? Are you going to have the government/police monitor everybody's internet connection? Because guess what, it can be made in someone's home in England and made available on a site in Germany, where it can be downloaded by anybody in America. Heck, it could be made in someone's home here in the US and put on sites overseas for people here to download.
Why is this thought so repulsive to people who are not porn users?
Because not all of us think it's bad. I think it's another form of adultery as I said, and that is a religious belief I hold, and I would not want to force it upon anybody else. Like I said, it's very un-American.
But I have to wonder why people would argue against such a simple thing except for an irrational fear that making porn illegal would lead to the Taliban.
Because it would open the door to even more government intrusion, and the fact that you are on FR tells me you probably know that once government gets a little power, it doesn't stop there, it'll keep trying to get more power.
Because not all of us think it's bad.
And even some of those who do think it's bad know that force (governmental or otherwise) should be used only to prevent or punish acts that violate the liberties of others.
