Because you can't legislate morality...

If you don't like porn, don't click on it. Simple as that.
Why not?
Because you can't legislate morality...
"You can't legislate morality" is one of those idiotic rote-phrases which is completely false, but which millions of morons repeat mindlessly as though it were a hallowed TRUTH obvious and self-evident to all. It is not.
Every law ever passed in history has been an act of legislating morality. Laws against murder legislate the moral idea that murder is wrong. Laws against theft and fraud legislate the moral idea that property rights, contracts, and honesty and trust are good for society and must be protected. Traffic laws legislate the morality that certain acts on the road are dangerous, and therefore to be discouraged. Building codes legislate the morality that one should not build substandard and dangerously unsafe buildings. Zoning ordinances legislate the morality that communities should be organized in a certain way beneficial to the community as a whole. Drug laws and porn laws legislate notions of morality that acts can be injurious to the community, whether or not they are "victimless crimes" in someone's opinion.
An act of legislation may be mistaken about its moral effects or about the kind of morality it wants to instill, but the fact remains that law by its very nature is an attempt to legislate morality. And often it succeeds in legislating morality. It is only when a sufficiently large number of people do not think that something is immoral that laws fail to "legislate morality".
The printing press has been around a very long time and it's only been in the last 30 years or so, one generation, that such immorality has become so status quo in the US.
I'm in favor of outlawing pornography, fining those institutions practicing it at present, and bringing it back within constraints.
For those unable to control their emotions, others can control them if necessary. Prison sentances are a remarkable disincentive.
