Should Free Access to Internet Porn be Eliminated?

[p0ink]

hey, big brain, as mentioned earlier...how do you plan on enforcing that with foreign websites?

you forgot to mention p2p, ftp sites, irc, etc.

No I don't think so. Freedom of speech. Blah blah blah. How about good parenting? That should be focused on 1st an formost. And by the way kids have always looked at porn. Somebody knew somebody who's dad had them around relatively available. I remember my grandpa keep nudie magazines under the mattress in the guest bedroom. I was certainly when I discovered that one summer.

i got an internet connection in 7th grade, and you can bet you ass i was checking out porn.

i turned out more than 'alright'.

the simples answer is that children should not be allowed to use computers, duh

You said moral dilemma. Morality should not be legislated.

I ask you, what is law if not moral convention?

Regardless, i said nothing of legislation or law. This is a question of the way things ought to be - not the way the government ought to run things.


It's funny how many of you took this in the direction of issues of law rather than intrinsic human responsibility.

well, you are calling for free access to I-porn being eliminated. Who else could eliminate this across the board, other than government?

I think you are dodging my response behind semantics.

Law is not moral convention. Law is a system for protecting rights of citizens.

Don't you think we have enough legislations ? And why the govt. should make laws on that ? WHo is he/she to decide what's morally good or not for me ?

 

[ajtomasi]

let's discuss the differences between morals and ethics

The people. That is, those who create the websites. "The government" couldn't eliminate internet porn if it wanted to.

It was not my intent to dodge your question.

Law is not moral convention. Law is a system for protecting rights of citizens.

Now I will argue semantics.

Protecting the rights of citizens IS moral convention. Morality is nothing more than the idea that your rights stop where the victimization of another's rights begin. Social convention governs the boundries of these rights. Law is essentialy social convention based onthe idea that your rights stop where the victimization of another's rights begin - morality.

Europe and Canada show nudity and sexuality readily.

Both areas have a higher standard of life, lower poverty, lower crime and a highly intelligent populace.

on the other hand, the US is the opposite and it has more anti-porn laws than both.

You do the math...
