Exactly! Unfortunately, we have lost all our responsiblity to our God given senses.
There is a huge difference between how i would "feel" and legality.
I havent seen any stories about universities banning students from providing commercial services from their rooms, such as typing services, resume preperation, etc...
In other words, No Big Deal. Despite all of the propaganda, obscenity is not a constitutional right.
Are you so blinded by irresponsiblity that you do not grasp my point! I do not question the 'right' to be perverted, stupid, or wholly ignorant of evil...what I am pointing out is that you do have a responsibilty to others, unless you just do not care.
I would disagree. Would you prefer a justice system based upon morality instead of law? Who's morality would you espouse? Your morality is not mine, ours is not Hugh Hefner's nor Larry Flint's. With freedom comes responsibility. Porn is nothing new, granted the quality is better now than it was 50 years ago; but it has existed since the printed page was created. You cannot legislate morality.
And a good chance for the students to learn that some people in society don't give a sh-t about them.
Good point. I think it's mainly what someone said in an earlier comment: this makes it look like a party school rather than a learning institution. More damage control than anything...plus people acting as if college students don't have sex until they're married.
Exactly. What you do is your business, what I do is mine. When your business impacts my business, we have the law to settle the differences.
And a good chance for students to learn about STD's first-hand!!
That's a pretty expensive place to learn such a basic concept. Do you suppose Phillip Morris and Anheiser Bush Corporations have the student's best interests at heart while they market cigarettes and beer to them?
Who doesn't
Women ? ;)
Taxpayer dollars are used in a roundabout way in regardes to virtually every thing we do on a daily basis.
It is not "YOUR RIGHT" to be irresponsible toward the rest of society where harm might befall others and children might view selfish smuttiness!
The possibility of The Children viewing something is not a reason to ban it or prevent its production.
This effects aspects of our society that surely has absolutely no value
Somethings "value to society" is not the basis to determine its legality, or ones ability to engage in the activity.
I'm sure!
I really am trying to make a point about "Responsibility" here and why we all should gravitate towards a better societal character.
I do not mean to sound morally elite, I am showing concern for the downward spiral we seem to have become involved in...and it will cause this country's demise if we do not honor our sacred creed and true wit.
We can not replace this with selfish desire that the 60's devalues crowd bore into us like some parasitic leech.
Buster Highman?
...And this is why people with this thought will destroy the very essence of what you propose to defend when applied to a determinal effect.
Legality does not equal goodness, caring, unselfishness, or responsibily.
