Well in this case it might not be such a bad thing. The pornography debate really shows ignorant most conservatives are of the libertarian attitude toward vice. Libertarians do not believe that people should ever not be held accountable for their actions if they are freely chosen. If there was coercion such as a loved one's life being threatened then obviously they could not freely choose to take or not take the action. We believe that porn users have to be responsible. If you cannot act responsibility then we would have you punished accordingly. If a drug user cannot provide for their kids, take away the kids. If a porn addict gets caught whacking off in public, lock them up for a few days in jail. We make very few exceptions when it comes to personal responsibility, in that regard we are much less forgiving than conservatives. And rightfully so, free people have to be held accountable for their actions.

Well Im more of an objectivist then a libertarian( objectivist are libertarians who want to kick the crap outta the Arabs and anyone else who thinks of messing with freedom as opposed to the cowardly attitude of the Raimondo/Rockwell types).
