Did you seriously just include the words "people that aren't commenting on the actual subject" in your last post? I've asked you twice now about what you do and do not think the State should be in the business of legally banning for adult consumption, and you keep non-responding with these same fantasy scenarios of yours wherein little kids are having the grossest kind of pornography shoved in their faces on a daily basis. If you can't focus on the topic at hand, don't pretend that you're involved in the discussion.
“Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” - Robert E. Howard

lol you just ask rhetorical questions while answering none. If you can't admit sick stuff should be kept away from children I could care less what you run around demanding. You can't admit people and their govt. reps should severely restrict porn and ban a lot of it as nothing but trash. All you can babble is nonsense memes about 'freedum n stuff'.
And it only increased demand and exposure to kids. Same with 'legalizing drugs' and every other attempt to decriminalize whatever 1960's era hippies thought was grand. Demand that banning this crap be 200% effective or legalizing it all cuz 'failure n stuff' is faulty 'logic'. Banning people from websites doesn't prevent some from getting back on via underhanded methods, but it does work to keep 90% of those banned from bothering a site, as an example.
How much gay porn or kiddie porn do we see posted here on this board?

I think that everybody admits that pornography should be kept from children.
I don't believe that the government should be given the power to censor what it considers appropriate for me to see beyond that which it already does. I understand you do. I don't. The government cannot be trusted, nor can the people in the government.

- First of all, kiddie porn is illegal.
- Second of all, this is a private site that sets its own rules. If you don't like them, you are free to leave.
- Third of all, please point me to a post where I said about child pornography - or pornography in general: "banning it isn't 100% effective and therefore 100% worthless". If you can find me stating that quote, I will leave the forum. If you made up a lie in attributing it to me, perhaps you should.
- Fourth and finally, no, we don't infringe on rights by popularity - that's called oppression by the majority.

More cognitive dissonance. So why is private censorship not 'bad' as well? Representative govt isn't 'oppression', it's setting social boundaries, and citizens have a right to certain expectations as to what society tolerates and what it doesn't. Just because Ayn Rand thinks she's the final arbiter of what govt. should do or not do doesn't make her claims valid. Sociopaths never like restrictions on their behavior and fetishes. Nobody should care what they think.
