So let's cut to the chase shall we? You both believe porn to be a good thing am I right?

No. I didn’t say that. I don’t think porn is “good”. But I don’t think it, excepting things like child pornography or “snuff films” rises to being any interest of the Federal government.

First off... The prohibition red-herring isn't going to fly. First of all a couple of drinks is not the same thing as being a drunkard.

How do you define a couple of drinks? One or two a day? A month? Every once and a while? And what if someone has more than a couple, get’s hammered, sloshed, G-d’s own drunk? There are already state and local laws regarding public drunkenness and driving under the influence. But should that be a Federal crime? Should I be arrested for being a drunkard? By the Feds?

Making love and babies with one's spouse is not the same thing as indulging in mindless, animalistic sex with either multiple "real" or "imaginary" sex partners. I personally have never called for nor do I condone making alcohol illegal just as I have never condoned or called for making sex between a married man and woman illegal.

So making love AND babies with one’s spouse is OK by you? Thanks! But I guess us post menopausal women are a different story then? Are you going to further define what sexual positions my husband and I can use too? Are you really saying that sex outside of marriage should be a criminal act? Perhaps it should be a federal crime and the BAFT could become the BAFT&S and with heavily armed SWAT teams dispatched to lover’s lanes and high school proms to make sure no one rounds second base.

My God says adultery, fornication, sodomy and other forms of sexual debauchery are sin and not partaking in such deviant behaviors has worked for me. You obviously disagree.

I’m glad they have worked for you. I have no problem with that and I have no problem with G-d or your minister defining such for you. I do have a problem with the Federal government defining them for me, or for you for that matter.

Are you going to further define what sexual positions my husband and I can use too?

Pretty sure so long as you are not "indulging in mindless, animalistic sex" then you're probably okay. No fantasies or anything "imaginary" though, that crosses the line and might require Federal intervention ;)

This is really the main point. I don't think most people necessarily believe porn is good, it's just not something the government needs to involve itself in. People can learn good values and habits from their church, family, community, etc. It is their choice and free will as to whether they will adhere to them. We don't need the Feds telling us how much skin we can watch online, how much to drink, how much red meat we can eat, how many sugary soda's we prefer, etc. These are personal choices. Many people will make the wrong ones and screw their lives up, and those people serve as examples of what not to do. The government has plenty to worry about without assigning regulators to determine whether the Victoria's Secret website falls into the soft core porn category, or what exactly constitutes hard core porn, or whether some couples amateur sex video is "obscene", etc, etc.
