"Defend Pornography tell me its endearing qualities?"

IMO, it should be illegal Well, of course it should be illegal.
That is, as long as I am the one who decides what's porn and what's not!

The solution is to legalize prostitution. How you choose to screw up your life is your business, not the goverment's.

Fed Gov should not enforce such laws. Leave it to the states.
But the problem is not with the laws but with culture. Restructuring a moral culture will help create a population that is much less tolerant of pornography and the like. People will avoid it out of moral conscience or fear of shame.

Pornography has been around since mankind mastered drawing, the written word,and live sex shows.If this subject interests you,go read up on it,instead of looking for attention on FR.
And prostitution has,since the dawn of time,involved more people than just the prostitute and the "john"!FYI...even in ancient times,when prostitution was legal,pornography wasn't!
Another silly question from you? Not enough homework to keep you occupied,dear?

Who decides what's porn and what isn't? Lolita? Romeo and Juliet? Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure? The Symposium?

If you don't have something interesting to say, then don't say anything. I'm not talking about art. And I have read up on it, I want to know what people HERE think.

Why shouldn't we have the right to privately handle sexual matters between consenting adults? If that means prostitution, voyeurism, adultery, fornication, sadomasochism, role-playing, use of sex toys, etc. etc. etc. I don't see why the gov't should step in at all.
The gov't should treat prostitution as a business arrangement, like buying food: there are regulations and health/safety standards, but otherwise the government doesn't tell you what to eat.

IMO, it should be illegal.And there is something in the culture that I do not like can we make that illegal too?
What if everyone in America gets to choose one thing to make illegal?
That should work well.

Porn, the taped or photographed act of two people having intercourse to be distributed for mass viewing.

People will avoid it out of moral conscience or fear of shame.That sounds like a very Christian solution.

No, pornography should not be illegal. We have to have something to do outside New York City.

Making something legal tends to "normalize" it.
It would have a terrible effect, I think, on the minds of people to suddenly have pornography be considered legal/normal.
It's like calling "evil" to be "good."
Once you begin to lose all moral foundations, then society crumbles....maybe it's a slow crumble, but still it falls.
Think of the effect, for example, on people's minds (and hearts) if child prostitution were suddenly legalized/normalized.
Without moral boundaries, society falls into depravity.

Who should set the standard for what is porn and what is not?
