It's always the people who want to ban porn that have the most skeletons in their closets.

An analogy is a comparison. McDonald's can also be addicting. So can shopping for some people. Or working out. Or tanning. That's just a moot argument, I'm sorry.

I think I agree with that, and just like I know about some things, I might want to help protect others from falling into the same trap.
• Just a thought.

I'm not sure making pornography illegal is the right answer.
Funny though, how vocal the deviants become when you threaten to take their smut away.
If only people were so passionate about more important things...

You originally asked if I was comparing the two (selling crack n watching porn) , which I wasn’t, what I was comparing was the idea of someone being in your personal business affairs, hence the analogy !

And then I added at the end of the post * they both can be addictive , so yeah there I did compare those two.

Us "deviants" may be making light but this has serious ramifications.
1st Ammendment being one of them. Free expression.

One mans porn is another mans erotica is another mans *yawn*.

Porn differs from society to society.

Showing an ankle in some countries can get you killed.

Other countries nudity is a "meh".

What it comes down to (in America) is the freedom to express yourself. Either in words (ATS) in photos (porn sites) in music, literature, ad nauseum.

So don't downplay the fight for porn.

Because if they can take that away, a general issue you may have with your local dog catcher might also become "taboo" next.

Okay this has just got really simple...


All Ron Paul has to do now is to start Pro-Porn advertising, and spread the message about how the other canidates want to get rid of your pr0n.


If this happens, Paul will win easily. OMG, it's clear now!

Save the porn campaign will get more supporters than the current population of humanity!


You can take my rights away...
You can take my money away...
You can detain my indefinetly...
But god forbid......YOU TAKE MY PORN!!!!

This isn’t trying to get into your personal sex life, if you want to have a get together with who ever fine, it just wants to remove something that is not morally sound from the block.

If you had a crack house on your block you would be all up in their business trying to get it shut down and removed, would'nt you? Ok same thing here!


Im guessing you are saying if I watch porn on my computer, that is okay. (because you said Block, as is my neighborhood), But, if there is a porn house on my block, that is NOT okay.

I believe I understand this. Of course I wouldnt want a crack house on my block. Neither would I like a porn house business. Residential communities are just that, they are supposed to be...Residential

When it comes to businesses, (such as a porn house...as in literally a porn business), I expect those to stay in business areas (commercial zones, not in housing areas). But...if 2 couples are just making a video or something, that's fine with me in my neighborhood, just as long as what they are doing dosent turn into a "business" with constant traffic, such as a crack house turns into

It's not so much the fact that it's porn, but the idea of what it represents. Freedom of expression. I'd say that's a pretty important thing.

What a surprise, 3 "conservative" politicians trying to run our lives, and decide what we can and cannot do.

I am sick and tired of this bull #. These guys wanna wage illegal wars and run our lives, sure sounds like quality government to me!

You laid that down proper

However the deeper analyze of the analogy was…
Course to these candidates they are looking at the throne and in that chair the country is their “block”
So protecting the overall image of the “block/country” from filth infecting people . . . . .

If porn becomes illegal, I'm predicting rape crimes will skyrocket. People will need to take their sexual frustration somewhere, it's not just gonna disappear.

Remember Kids, it's not prostitution if you film it.
It's a porno and porno's are legal.

Sure they would. Cause they would be able to replace it with a multi-billion dollar enforcement agency under their control and staffed/operated by their friends and chosen minions on the taxpayers' dime. War on terror, check. War on drugs, check. War on illegals, check. War on porn, check.

Romney, Gingrich and Santorum : we will make porn illegal

No they won't. It's too big of an industry.
It would put too many people out of work (mostly in California
)
All the lost taxes .. revenue .. unemployment ... Nope .. won't happen.

If they actually said it then chalk it up to political pandering to the far right.
