Republicans have always had traditional values.
I know. Just ask Mark Foley.
This is NOT an important issue right now. These are things you look into AFTER you win the election.
Well said.
Some may snicker, but pornography is dragging down society. Yes, this election SHOULD be about things like not killing unborn babies and not allowing porn to invade every facet of our world and not having homosexuality thrown in our kids faces.
>I think you people are in the wrong party.
>Republicans have always had traditional values.
Agreed, but expecting the mother to die to save an unborn child is not a traditional value that needs enforced by law.
Neither is forcing a rape victim to carry a rapists child.
Traditional values used to include society enforcing it’s rules through shame and ridicule rather than always expecting the police to do it. So long as everybody involved in the creation and distribution of the porn is a consenting adult it’s really none of the government’s business, they should stay out of it.
Fortunately, traditional values do not trump rights.
Having "traditional values" (or any set of values) means you teach your children well and hold them to a particular set of standards. It does not mean you get to dictate to those who do not share your values, nor to dictate which rights get to be enforced for whom, a mistake most politicians make.
Whether or not I like pornography, and I do not, it is not my place to tell other consenting adults what they can do in the privacy of their homes, nor what occupation they can hold. In that regard, I simply vote with my wallet, a pastime more adults need to learn.
A huge amount of husbands and wives watch porn together to spicen things up...liberals and conservative both..maybe even more conservatives as another poster pointed out in his link. I would guess more husbands and wives watch porn together than don't...maybe not all the time but they do at times. BTW Women are some of the largest growing viewers of porn today. Not all porn is the same ..there is quite a bit of "sensual" porn out there for couples that has helped numerous marriages survive the boredom/stagnation.
While there is still porn out there that degrades women/some "slavery" going on, the vast majority made today is "amateur" porn...that is porn that couples make together and post online because that is how they get their kicks.
...and Donna I bet there is a significant amount of women who tell you to your face porn is bad but they go home and watch it with their hubby. or themselves.
Don't let the gov't start telling us watch to watch or not..that will lead to a slippery slope of banning everything...maybe even the Bible.
Don't flame me I'm just giving you the fact about porn..whether you want to keep your head in the sand and say good conservative men and women don't watch it..that it is only something "liberals" do then well you can believe what you want. It's up to each person to decide whether it is right for them or not..not the gov't to decide(as long as it is not hurting anyone)
