Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

It's either that or force it underground where we can't control or regulate it at all. Banning anything where there is a demand NEVER works. People will still go looking for what they want, I'd rather they be getting what they want via a regulated porn industry (even if the content is borderline) produced by consenting participants than an underground source where the abuse and exploitation is going to be real and possibly lacking consent from either party.

My only problem is that we are a society that still has demands for those kinds of things. I can't make the demand go away and that's frustrating. I agree that prohibition never works. I've never once stated that I sought an abolishment of pornography, only that I couldn't support an industry with stardards and protections that supported theese morally abhorrent demands. I was expressing the possibility of legal porn, as an industry, regulating itself to the extend that it creates a distinct seperation bettween the more abhorrent sexual practices and erotica. Which categorizing porn categories as they do, easily circumventable age appropriate content restrictor, and having the budget of a huge industry yet lining the pockets of individuals rather than funneling some of that money back into the image of the industry is clearly not headed in the direction, IMO.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
