Nothing good ever comes from SCO.
This planet would probably be a better place if SCO no longer existed.
But this whole "war on porn" that they are trying to start tries to make it sound as if porn is more deadly than tobacco, smoking, driving, breathing, eating trans-fats and sniffing Elmer's glue put together.

Yes, it is, as none of these things makes people perceive others as objects. |

And then we wonder why the divorce rate is so high compared to 50 years ago... why rape, molestation, and child abuse has sky rocketed, why family values are no longer talked about at the family table, why long and meaningful commitments have been traded for quick, cheap fixes that do not carry any risks...why more than a million abortions occur each year in America
I don't understand why so many are against protecting children from the negative consequences and addictiveness of pornography, speaking as if though porn has fantastic and positive repercussions on our generation! Wake up people and open up your eyes. |

If you've got children, that's your job. It came with the decision of having sex and creating life. |

It took this topic to bring you out from "lurking" status? 
You are correct about everything is your first paragraph. I would add that another cause for the increase in divorce is that women have generally become less dependent on their husbands to provide for them.
If women don't have to put up with that crap at home, why should they? More power to 'em.

If you've got children, that's your job. It came with the decision of having sex and creating life. That's part of the problem, with more and more mothers working and not staying home with the kid(s) (with the father working too), there is not the level of supervision that was available 20-50 years ago. The availability of porn is much higher now as well. I think any tool that can be made readily available, should be utilized as we (parents) cannot be there 100% of the time. Public places like Internet Cafe's and Library's should be able to easily filter their traffic...

I don't want my kids to watch porno so I lock down the computer, I use the paretial controls on the TV and I monitor what my kids do. Why do I need the government or private company telling me how to parent? |

And all the evils you mention are directly tied to pornography, right? No middle ground here because porn is the causation of all these social ills, eh?
Just curious, has anyone ever accused you of being gullible?

Re: Can't you see?
You are correct. It plays a factor in a lot of these social ills, not necessarily the primary factor all of the time, but indeed a factor! And how is creating an .xxx domain forcing legislation? It does not block the content, but rather, it gives parents the ability to block it and protect their kids! |

3 edits | just what kind of a weak agrument is this?
"When a company is forced to terminate an employee for viewing Internet pornography, filling the void left by the terminated employee can prove to be difficult. The loss of a key employee can have a long-lasting effect on a company and even send smaller companies into tail-spins from which they can never recover."
And that's the government's fault how? Your employee is surfing for porn at the office and that becomes the problem of the whole world internet community? Uh.. no.
SCO -> Another stupid group of dumbasses who think they know better than everyone else... and worse, want to legislate their point of view into everyone's life.
Ha! And of all places, Utah! One of the most f****d up states in the USA. Has anyone checked to see what's in their water supply lately?
Where's the outcry regarding the constant high level of violence in all forms of media, be it entertainment or news? Where's the outcry about how viewing acts of violence on a regular basis desensitizes people (especially children) to terrible nature of violence in all it's forms? But nooooooooo... let's ban sex instead. Sex is bad. Images of boobies might just give young Timmy a boner, and what is he to do about that? His PARENTS may have to talk to young Timmy, and lordy knows they don't want to do that.
Yet, we'll gladly put images of fighting, murder, war and death on the tube 24/7 and if little Timmy grows up and beats his wife or kills his teacher, well, that's societies' fault.
America, land of the dumbass, home of the politically-correct stupid.
