The War on Porn

[Excel Zero]

The whole "I'm a good person, why should this make me any different?" argument towards porn works, but considering we live in a democratic republic, majority will always rule. The same argument can be brought up towards, oh let's say, marijuana. Upstanding citizens in the US sometimes partake in the ritual of smoking this drug because it relaxes them, much like alcohol or cigarettes. For some, looking/watching/reading porn can help a person relax in their own way. But because the majority of our society has deemed it wrong and immoral, BAM, no one can have it now. You can compare this to many other things that are just stupid in our society.

I would like to comment on my first post in this forum.

My post was in reference to this Country and when I use the phrase "government” I am referring to the US Federal Government. Socialism is not evil or bad in any respect. There even some very great countries. One of these great countries is a neighbor of the United States, you know who you are.

I doubt the "War on Porn" is what you think it is...I think it's more along the lines of stopping porn sites from giving you a free gallery to look at before you subscribe.

The funny thing about all this is that people care about porn possibly being taken away from them but everyone is perfectly fine when the government takes your money and doles it out in welfare. You support a persons choice to look at porn but you don't support peoples choices to help the poor or not.

As for Shino's rant on government schools I personally think NO tax money should EVER be spent on schools.

The reason is because the school starts to teach you that America is great because of its government...It's not, it's great because of its people. Our country houses the hardest working people in the world who are also the most generous. Granted we also harbor many evil people because we are a melting pot.

If parents had to pay for their kids schooling (Which would be pretty cheap if EVERYONE paid for it) they would take active involvement and actually care about their kids school because it's THEIR money. Right now as it standsAmerican school are no better than a babysitters parents send their kids to so they can go to work to make their next payment on their 2 brand new cars and a house that's too big for them.

Yeah I have no problem with welfare either. I however am taking the more extreme side on this one. I believe this whole idea is bunk. Getting rid of child porn...yeah good idea. But campaigning against free or paid sites is just a waste of the money I fight for everyday. I like my porn, my wife likes it, so I reitterate, leave it be. Like Shino said, you can wipe out all of America's free porn sites but it would cost alot. But we can't walk over to our neighbors and say, hey stop that.

Let's forget about all the amendments since they don't have so much to do with this. There is something else others are overlooking. I always hear people tell me that an education or experience in something makes an opinion more valid. So as a student about to enter grad school and a person who has dealt precisely with what I am about to comment on, let me say this; If we continually take away things that people care about, life is going to get alot worse.

Case in point, the military. I am not sure if anyone knows what the Uniform Code Of Military Justice is, but it's sort of a second law book for military members. One on the Articles in Section IX tells me that as a military man, I am only allowed to have sex with my wife in the missionary position. That blew my mind the first time I heard that. Now of course I am sure I don't have to tell you that pretty much nobody follows this one as it's somewhat antiquated, but imagine if we all started to. Look I admit sex is sex and I adore it, but that's sort of the point. My wife and I like doing various things to keep our relationship fresh and new. Now this may sound like a far cry, but it really isn't. If you were to suddenly restrict that, then I have two questions.

1. What happens to those people who enjoy each others' body when they suddenly get bored of doing just one position for years?

2. More importantly, what's next? What will they take from us next?

I understand rules like that are to help from letting things get out of control, but what's next? Things like that, and ideas like trying to stop porn are just a continuation of government squelching us. This may sound a bit radical but think about it in a simpler way. What if the government suddenly said, you can listen to music, but only polkas. Well the polka loving community may now be pleased, but what about the rest of us? What if they said from now on, all you can watch on TV is PBS? Again, the PBS lovers are happy, but not the rest of us. I know it sounds a bit silly but try to look at it from our standpoint and you'll see that the whole thing is wrong from alot of people's perspectives. You're using money that is much needed in other areas, and you are beggining to squelch another area. If you continue to do so, yeah it's true there may not be a civil war, but you now have degredation of people's moods and personality. Slowly that degredation will build people that don't care anymore and eventually could turns us into little robots. Maybe some fat cat or goverment person may think it's a victory but I hereby take my stand and say it isn't. Not for this body, not for this man, not for this soldier.

Fairly extreme maybe but that's my view and now my wrist hurts...but not from porn...from typing

End of line
