If you outlaw porn, it'll just go underground and become more worse. Child porn is already illegal, and most municipalities have strict zoning requirements preventing adult video shops from operating. I support that, and so do even most social liberals. Yes, porn is prevalent on the internet, but again even the adult websites have strict guidelines against child porn. You can't stop it from going into someone else's computer even if you banned it. They'll just move off-shore and set up shop there.

I believe that marijuana should be legalized up to a certain weight, maybe several grams or something. It should only be sold during daylight hours, those who purchase it must be at least 21 with a valid ID, and there should be strict laws against reselling it or giving it to minors. But stop this War on Drugs which is only a War on the Constitution. BTW I agree with you on abortion.

Blah blah blah. And if you ban abortions there'll be back alley abortions everywhere. And banning pot is bad because it causes crime. Yes yes, I know. How come nobody ever makes the case that LEGALIZING something makes it more prevalent? Look at abortion, homosexuality and pornography. When it became unconstitutional to limit these things they flourished. Yet the pro-pot people think that smoking pot is going to be one exception. They think think that when smoking dope is legalized everywhere it will be a virtual paradise of people smoking dope and being cured of their ills.

At the risk of getting flamed for my screen name ( which refers to recovering from liberalism) and told to “go back to your bong” statistics show that a very large percentage of americans use marijuana socially with no ill effects, morally, financially, legally etc....I will support you’re reasoned posts.

The fact that the vast majority of white, middle or upper class NEVER get arrested or do any jail time, leaves poor minorities which then become the melodramatic poster children of drug use.
If suddenly within a month all those types ( white upper class )not previously arrested WERE taken in, pot would become legal overnight.

So the huge hypocrisy is that we continue to drive drugs underground, destroy countries south of our borders, encourage crime and yet, those that are in the majority of pot users that are NOT arrested let this charade continue.

Alcohol and pot are about equal, with alcohol being somehwat MORE dangerous. Yet we do not prohibit alcohol.

My IRA lost over 50% of its value, Iran and Korea are ready to send us nukes, we have millions of illegals, abortion continues unabated....and the Puritans want me to continue the failed WOD???You have got to be kidding.
