You already know what the legal definition of obscenity is because you said it was vague and problematic. The courts of this nation disagree and I disagree. I gave you an example of a federal prosecution under President Bush of a pornographer for breaking obscenity laws. Rick Santorum is 100% right. President Bush enforced obscenity laws and the illegitimate usurper Obama has not enforced the law which you apparently agree with and approve of because you said that enforcing the law would open a can of worms. You should take your support for the disgusting communist Obama and his sodomite pornography agenda somewhere else. Support for Obama and his policies in favor of obscene pornography are not welcome here.

My, my, aren’t we touchy. Not used to having people disagree with you, I see.

The definition I quoted to you was “patently offensive to prevailing local community standards.” Pray tell, Sherlock, what are “local community standards” on the internet? Is it the local community standards of New York City or of Enid, Oklahoma? Or do you think they are the same?

I was a criminal defense lawyer for twenty years, and I can tell you that trying to enforce “local community standards” on the internet is definitely problematic, and if you would open up your brain for two seconds and actually think about it instead of leaping into attack mode, you would see that I have a point.
