I hear that if you see too many boobs you could turn straight. Even watching Game of Thrones is dangerous.

Japan has notably lower sex crime rates than the US but are notorious for their hentai and other porn, which infuriates experts who want this evidence to go away,

they say the crimes are under reported but that is not what longtime residents say.

Control and punish real physical crimes, including sex related ones, and leave porn alone. We'll be fine.

Ban porn. It would appease screeching feminist lobbies, reduce the spread of malware, and force people to leave their homes now and then. Entertainment value is a legitimate consideration as well.

Since I'm using a school tablet (which blocks "bad" words such as porn), all I did was add an extra "o" and I bypassed them (so I can get the articles). Making the stupid word, "poorn". See systems that are set to block it are already in place don't work.


That was beautiful.

1984 is famous, but that hardly makes its setting the worst dystopia.

No, they banned porn

They banned sex also

They banned almost everything really.

Should we ban pornography?

Postby The Provincial Union of the Pacific » Tue Dec 26, 2017 9:28 pm

To Who-So-Ever Reads this,

While it can be argued that Pornography is dangerous, we, as a nation, have generally stood on the same stance for it as we have for Sugar and how addictive it is. In example and reference to sugar, one must understand its history. Sugar is not a complete necessity for humans to strive, we have lasted centuries without it but upon its discovery we began adding it to everything, from complex dinners to simple household meals. The reason is because it is so good and we enjoy it because our body has a natural crave for it, that is it, natural.

Pornography can be viewed the same way, rather than go into the general public and have coitus with every person of the opposite, or same, gender, it is safer to keep to oneself and trick the mind into believing it is engaged in coital activity comforting it and lessening anxiety caused from lacking it. It is also healthier because it helps to prevent certain cancers, namely testicular cancer, as they can be a result of abstinence as the body was designed for regular intercourse. However, for people of younger ages, and married couples who do not believe in polyamory, it can become a problem through envy and lust which will cause many more problems or dependency on the 'variety' offered by it.

Pornography should not be banned, however it should be regulated for the mental, and marital, safety and security of citizens.

Thank You Sincerely,

No. As long as the people who are involved in its production are legal, consenting adults, and the people consuming it are legal adults, it's all good.

Let adults choose whether or not they wish to consume porn, just as we allow them to choose whether or not they want to risk their health with tobacco, alcohol, junk food, et cetera.

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???
