Only to the Freepers with a mindset of a 13 yr old boy...
that happens here when anything appears that has the word “sex’ in it...ha.
In regards to porn, the slippery slope argument was your side in the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s, until you got us to here.
You managed to replace American culture with the leftist’s wet dream. You should be reveling in your success.
whoa... I think we have a Libertarian.....nothing wrong with that...
Then go all the way and don’t pick and choose which “moral “ issues you want to avoid. What has pornography that encompasses criminal activity, child porn and human trafficking to do with your right to own a gun or what you read?
If we follow your logical train of thought...it’s none of our business about whether you buy a Playboy or a snuff film...Talk about taking this to the “illogical extreme.” But be my guest...its a free country.
These things concern me a lot more than Homeland Security interecpeting phone calls from Arabia.
Are you sure you are on the right site?
BTW: I see you are refusing to answer whether or not you support the Swiss repeal of incest laws (between consenting adults). Do you or don't you? Are you consistent in your philosophy, or do you still seek to draw some limits in the name of tradition.
It's any easy yes or no question, please answer.
No, I've simply learned to temper my own conservative viewpoints on certain social issues with my Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
And the Govt has already run amuck with what authority they've been given. Ceding anything in the arena of morality would be a disaster.
thanks for an insightful and intelligent response.
This is an important issue to discuss, you present valid points..those who do not agree with you seem to either attack the poster personally or just go to an extreme. Therefore , it is hard to have a discussion.
Free societies pay a high price for their freedom. Only in an anarchist or totalitarian society are issues “simple, and cut and dried.”
thanks for taking the time to post your views.
Probably not. A Second Wave Feminist is a lesbian - there's a Rule.
Porn actor have sex, for money, with other porn actors, while someone with a camera records the proceedings.
So somehow the presence or absence of a camera alters the nature of the activity?
Excellant, well thought out and honest response. Thanks for taking the time.
In a free society it is more of a responsibility and difficulty in defining the “law” so that Freedom and liberty are protected, yet we don’t degenerate into a form of anarchy. All societies , except Animal Farm, regulate themselves and doing so is not easy when the laws are not soooo black and white.
Your uncle obviously never met Helen Thomas.
Also, in Roman times, the father had the right to reject a baby. These outcasts were often saved by Christian who believed every life is sacred.
Cheers!
I stand corrected. My main point was that Eisenhower wanted a national road system to help for the defense of the country. In his early career, he was tasked to travel over the country to look at the conditions of America’s roads. When he was in Germany, he was impressed with the autobahn and how it support German, and ironically, allied troops with supplies.
(Go Packers!)
Cheers!
And, the Russians learned the same lesson with the opposite result.
They shunned road building to prevent invaders from easy entry.
Yep.
If it weren't being filmed with an eye to profiting off of the sale / rental of the filmed activity, it's a good bet that the activity wouldn't be taking place *nearly* to that extent.
Also consider the role of "fluffers."
If it were purely for pleasure, as in conventional prostitution, they wouldn't be used or needed.
Cheers!
An excellent article. One other question for the casual viewer of porn: Is it addictive? The answer is Yes.
Here is a fresh thread for discussing the Constitution and "rights".
If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-constitution and you'll get the zot from FR!
While I personally may not approve of the behavior or activities of some consenting adults, I would equally disapprove of some Govt authority invoking a particular "morality" (Judeo-Christian or otherwise) to limit their rights/freedoms to engage in such behaviour. As an example, I deplore the so-called "War on Christmas" as a direct infringement on the freedom of Americans wishing to openly celebrate the holiday, much the same as any infringement on the Right to keep and bear (openly or otherwise) arms.
With regards to Switzerland, if it were already on the books and I were a Swiss legislator, I'd vote to leave it there. At the same time I applaud that each Swiss household contains an assault rifle.
Less Government, more freedom.
