The Debate
[option]"Give us our jobs back!" Protests @@RANDOMNAME@@, one of the workers fired for looking at pornography. "We were never told that what we did on our computers could be used against us. I was a great worker. I did everything I was asked to do. Just because I'm lonelier than most shouldn't be a reason to fire me! Instead, punish that IT guy that found us out. He's the one that was looking at things that don't belong to him!"

[option]Your IT technician peers over a computer monitor while performing routine maintenance on your computer: "While viewing pornography in private is perfectly acceptable, doing it on your employer's computer is totally different. By violating their employer's trust, these employees left themselves at the mercy of any and all punishment. Keep out of this matter and let private business fire whomever it wants to for whatever reason it wants to."

[option]"THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" screeches @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@ a prominent member of Citizens Rallying Against Pornography, a controversial censorship organization known for harassing the adult entertainment industry. "Just think of what kind of message is this would be sending to our sweet, innocent children. We must protect them from the vile filth of these producers of smut! All pornography must be banned. In fact, we should even censor sex on television and books. Anyone who produces and watches such material ought to be arrested and jailed. THIS is for our children!"

[option]"You’re all a just bunch of prudes!" scoffs adult film star @@RANDOMNAMEFEMALE@@, as everyone in your office stares at her chest. "Pornography is a perfectly healthy way for couples to share their intimacy, not to mention the industry brings in billions of @@CURRENCY@@s a year. Besides, being a porn actress is actually very empowering. I’ve made way more money as an actress than I ever did as a waitress. In fact, if the government gave us some funding, we could really produce some quality stuff."
