UK - porn block plan to stop "childhood corrosion"

[The Parkus Empire]

And you got mad at my getting mad, so you clearly want to censor anger.

That'd be nice, actually. But it goes against my beliefs, so, no.

It goes against my beliefs as well.

Not to mention the fact that humor subjective.

Black humour doesn't have anything to do with shitting on people with less privilege than you. It's dark humour (e.g. a joke about death and destruction and things that are traditionally depressing).

This is entirely different from being like "hurr hurr women should make me a sammich" or "women should be prohibited from wearing pants because then we don't have to imagine what their genitals look like".

Read some Vonnegut and come back when you have some idea of what black humour is before you try claiming you know what it is.

What privilege? What "privilege" do I have?

Jokes about race, religion, sex, etc. are usually defined as being part of black comedy.

Not to mention, the joke was a sarcastic jab at rapists and not meant to be funny or insulting to anyone (except rapists)--something I've already pointed out, not that any of you would care.

[The Land of Truth]

It was. And I pointed that out. They didn't care.

You said it was a joke, not necessarily that it was sarcastic. The two are not always synonymous.

Hm...you may have a point. I've clarified this in my latest post, so we'll see if it matters.

What ideology do you follow?

[Zweite Alaje]

I don't have any fetishes. Thinking about sex is normal, true, thinking about it frequently is not.

What do you define as "frequent"?

I'm honestly curious here.

One every hour.

Several.

Please show me validation that thinking about sex more than once an hour is abnormal.

[Cervas]

*reads OP* NO! NOT MAH P0RNZ!

luckily (and also unluckily) I live in Merica

*goes to latest page hoping to find arguments about current topic. Instead see's people swinging their PCnis around while shouting about sexism while not being able to take a joke* well f*ck why am I not surprised.

anyway on to my opinion. I believe this is just a stupid idea. I get the whole 'we must protect teh childrenz!' thing but I can guarantee that your children are (usually) smarter than you (assuming your a parent) when it comes to computers and will just proxy or hack their way around this. They should spend the money and time on more worthwhile things. (which I won't list because then someone will come along and be like "That's not worthwhile" and base their whole argument of the things I said were better (also assuming you disagree with me)) [edit: and leave stuff like this to the parents]

it's not.

[New Laikland]

This is actually incredibly stupid, and will most likely only increase sexual abuse and rape rates in the future. Good work UK, you're destroying yourself with liberalism yet again.

Not according to the page I just read. Jokes about sexism and racism yes... yours was sorta going there maybe, but it was not successful at getting all the way there.

Not to mention, the joke was a sarcastic jab at rapists and not meant to be funny or insulting to anyone (except rapists)--something I've already pointed out, not that any of you would care.

Well so your joke wasn't so funny (I'm not sure I'd say it was sexist since it was sort of a parody of sexist opinions). The one that played off it was a joke about victim blaming that was okay because it was more obviously a joke.

I'm mostly arguing with the idea that if you can't joke about things that aren't "politically correct" then you can't have anything that's funny.

Oh god not the hentai. Anything, but that I'm begging you.

How is this liberal?

Oh, I thought I was the only one who just thought about that.

Then I remembered I'm in the Free Lands of 'Merica.

Thank you! I'm so glad you understand!

Now to your point, again, humor is subjective, so what you find funny others may not and vice versa; there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. I also, respectfully, disagree, though I do understand where you're coming from.

And, personally, I find "political correctness" to be a danger to liberty and free speech.

[Dakini]

What do you define as "frequent"?

One every hour.

...so what is an acceptable level of frequency for you?

And maybe this time you should provide a source about what's actually normal. Because it looks like (for men at least) twice an hour is normal and for women it's either a bit more than once an hour or more than that (it's difficult to say because the whole "women shouldn't want sex" thing makes it difficult to measure how much women want sex since they tend to underreport).

[Ayreonia]

It was sexist and stupid. I don't need to be a woman to find it fucking annoying any more than I have to be black to find racist jokes annoying.

The fuck? Sexist? I didn't even mention sexes.

Still waiting.

I'm not so proud that I refuse to be proven wrong, but I don't like people calling me sexist.

Really now if the U.S. passed a restrictive legislation on it I wouldn't want to live on this planet anymore. Though I'm not familiar with politics in the U.K. it sounds like a distasteful plan.

If the U.S does this then 2 things happened:

1)Obama was really a Muslim and imposed Sharia Law.
2)Elizabeth is crowned Queen of the U.S

If it does happen then, by extension, so will Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo.

It's stupid to joke that if women were forced act a certain way, it will make people less likely to defend rape.

I will never understand the appeal of hentai. Not that I need to, I suppose.
