US to war against pornography?
I would say more about this article but I am just too offended... by all this pornography!
My question is, does the Justice Department stand a chance? I mean, obviously they can't get rid of all of it but can they really make much a difference? Isn't this better than attacking corporate monopolies? Quote:

My question is, how do I get a job reviewing all that porn?
I'm sure glad we erradicated all the terrorists, cured cancer and have every american sleeping in a warm bed with a full stomach so that we can now focus on the really important stuff. |

I saw a thing on CourtTV on this, I guess because they had nothing better to do a show on... Been trying to do it at least since the early 70s with the FBI involved, and of course people/police have been trying to crack down on it since the late 40s. But of course, it almost never works, someone else pops up, etc. I agree with Superbelt, just leave it alone. It harms almost 0 people, those involved don't seem to care (no one's forcing them to make pr0n), and the people buying the stuff really don't seem to mind either.
In fact, even your super-conservative areas seem to have the highest viewings of the stuff, so I guess they don't mind either!

I would think we may finally have a topic most everyone will agree on. Its silly for the govornment to be wasting millions of taxpayers dollars to eradicate something most people believe people have a right to choose to see, have, view, etc.
From what I have seen they are going after not only hard core porn but even soft core, Sex in the City, HBO type material. Just what I want my tax dollars spent on. Someone to spend their days watching porn to decide what I should be able to see. I think Ashcroft needs a bitchslap to thr head to wake his ass up.

It's one thing if you're showing this stuff in a public place, or on a TV channel that kids can watch easily. It's another thing if you are showing it in a place where you cannot go if you are under eighteen, all the people involved are over eighteen, and the TV channels are special pay channels like Showtime or pay-per-view.
I may support Bush, but Ashcroft is an Ashhole.

We are unfortunately, watching the christianization of America. So much for seperation, I am really beginning to dislike what the vocal christians stand for. And in the proccess, losing respect for a wonderful religion.
I dont need a man like Bush, teaching me about morals.

Ya know, if Asscroft gets on a roll with this, and we know Bush will let him, places like this site specifically will be targeted because of it's accessibility to pornography.
Who knows where we will be if Asscroft gets to be Attorney General for another 4 years. Can we afford that? |

Now that article is funny. Just think,.. the cleansing of America.
What next? Felony jail time for people who engage in non-solicited oral sex in southern U.S states where oral sex is illegal? Here's an idea. Let's blame Mel Gibson.

There is something to be said about what one person's standards are to anothers. It seems like alot of individuals; even those that sometimes make it to power have a "my way is the right way" attitude. Child porn should be dealt with swiftly and severely which I believe it is. I there is a law which makes it illegal to show rape with full penetration, or any filming of full porn where one person is telling the other "no" and "stop" repeatedly on the grounds it inspires real rape in the community.
In those two areas I understand; but this is dangerous area. While it may seem noble; I think everyone can think of where is could go in a negative direction. Finding ways to stop ads from popping up on the internet is a solid fight; but telling me what I should and shouldnt be watching helps me to understand why militias are formed. Adultery is going to give you 5 years with 2 years probation. Coveting is a class 2 misdemeanor. Using God's name in vain. . . forget about it.

This just shows that even if you like Bush himself, you have to admit that the people he put in power are terrible people who are trying to limit our freedoms. Part of believing in free speech is standing up for that which you don't agree with. I hate racist and anti gay groups but I will support their right to spread their message as long as they are not physically harming people.

I like the Republican ideology because it believes in small government, staying out of people's living rooms, and being fiscally conservative...
I mean if your going to have an ideology atleast stick with it. I do like Bush, but slowly my vote is dissapearing next to his name. Maybe i'll vote Nader who knows. Over 18, legal Pornography should not be within the top 50 issues that this country has to deal with right now or else somebody's priorities are in the wrong places. (Obviously on the other hand Child pornography is a different story.) |

i don't think many would argue against laws against child porn...it's a hard issue to argue against...it just leaves too much open for exploit...
with that said, i still don't see how porn is even an issue on a major party's agenda...just doesnt' make sense. and yeah, whatever happened to republicans being for smaller government and staying out of peoples' lives...if someone over 18 wants to indulge in porn, i don't see an issue...you can watch porn and drive afterwards, it's not like alcohol or tobacco..i don't think people die over porn overdose...they may have to give their genitals a break, but that's about it. it's not exactly something that should be of concern to anyone in government...

Thanks for brightening my day, that was funny. ![]() But seriously, I think you're thinking of a different republican party than the party of the present. We now have the biggest federal government ever, the republicans are *very* interested in your living room, and fiscal conservativism went out of style under Reagan. Do you seriously believe that the Republican party today believes in any of those points? |

http://www.rnc.org/About/PartyPlatform/Default.aspx and see if you can find your points. The libertarians are the group you want to be a part of if you want that. Personally, I like the libertarians, but, like the republicans, I find them far too trusting of big business. I think strong antitrust policy, strong regulation, and a policy of trade protectionism are the only things that will stop corporations from exploiting working here and abroad. Other than that, I mostly agree with the libertarians. |

Damn, that' s funny.
Move to Quebec. Friday and Saturday nights the TQS station network shows "Blue Nuit" on good old regular TV. Blue Nuit featues nothing but porn, full penetration and money shots even. Now that's a progressive society. |
