I've seen the porn threads. The supporters get very rabid, and ruder and cruder than anywhere else on FR.

Sam the Sham said it better than I could:

"To the libertarian, ACLU, Hollywood secular mentality, porn is protected speech. It wasn't before 1960. Bad legal judgements destroyed the power of communities to enforce moral norms. And now we will have the power to fill the judiciary with judges who will reverse this.

To the Chrisian and the conservative, porn is cultural srychnine. To your party of cultural anarchy, which has nothing in the least to do with conservatism, hey, anything goes if someone will pay for it."

little j, I'm glad somebody here "gets it". Not all who post on FR are conservatives. There are many pushing their own agendas, and we see them pop out on the porn and abortion threads.

FOX had a good panel discussion on this topic tonight. Judith Reisman was most impressive. So was Sam Brownback.

At last, we are seeing the beginning of the Christian counter-cultural war against the permissive society.

I've been waiting four decades for this.

Ok do not start making assumptions, I am not a libertarian. And rude and crude? i guess I would like to see your scale for how you measure that. I just have a fundamental disagreement with having the government start heavily labeling speech. Do not straw man this argument into being about protecting kids, do not change this into personal attacks on anyone.

And don't make hasty assumptions that I am a supporter of porn, I am not, just opposed to the measures some choose to take to stop it. I believe that if a society is consuming alot of porn than it is up to the church to change hearts and minds, your a bunch of Evangelicals aren't you? Well then go evangelize. But don't do it through legislation and restriction. Do it by spreading the gospel.

Could you list some examples from this thread?
