Number two, it is my right to disagree with them on those points.
Number three, you haven't answered my question.
As to people under 18, the law already has provisions regarding their exposure to pornography. After that, it is up to their parents, not the government, to regulate what they see.
It is hard to avoid Leftist propaganda, too. Should we thus ban or "control" it, because we do not like it or disagree with it?
You are under NO coercion to use pornography if you choose not to, and you are perfectly able to protect your children from it. What you want is to control OTHER people. Don't be surprised if those others disagree with letting you. They have reason to believe that you won't stop there.
Number one, while those gentlemen were unquestionably wise and learned, you'll forgive me for not considering them my "betters".
'Nuff said.
Children have access to porn on the internet without any difficulty. And when porn is easily available as it is now, kids see it without any problem. And the easy availablitiy of porn lowers the bar for sexual content in entertainment not considered porn, so kids are becoming more and more sexualized.
You comment that it's parents' duty to protect children and not the government is a statement borne of ignorance and arrogance. Children aren't citizens that warrant protection?
Some speech is not worthy of protection - slander, libel, false advertising, incitement of crime or terrorism, treason, and probably some others. Traditionally, and with good reason, pornography was on this list - UNTIL the ACLU, leftist activist judges, and porn producers, changed the federal law so that local communities including states now have no local control.
That IS leftist.
