"Victims"? The hell are you talking about? If it is legal stuff and the people KNEW they were getting into it, then how dare they come back later claiming they have been victimized. Im a father, still doesnt change my mind about the stuff. Trying to use children to guilt people out of things is another thing the religious types like to use; "we cant have this on TV, what about the children?" So they want to use children to scrub the net clean (and subsequently transform it into their version of christianity), scrub the TV clean (funny how tv preachers are immune to this scrubbing), and scrub society clean (except for their versions of christians). There are some DISGUSTING things in the bible...sex, murder, human sacrifice, killing of children, etc.. yet that is immune from being scrubbed as well?

I don't have any issues with people watching porn if that floats their boat. I just personally can't support an industry that tries to bend the laws (well over the line, IMO) to make a buck at other's expense and contribute to fantasies of hurting others. I was asked why I was opposed to it and I answered. If porn wasn't promoting fake illegal crap, I would have voted in support of it, and just commented that my life is now better without it.
Please define "my life is better now for leaving it" and "my life is now better without it.".
You do have issues with people watching porn. I will quote you:
Quote:I feel it's the fact I'm a father and I have seen first hand the long term damage this does to it's victims
VICTIMS is a VERY strong word. Sure sounds like you have lots of issues with porn, and people watching porn since it makes them "victims" that are subjecting themselves to the risk of "addiction". These arent words that you use when at the same time you claim you dont have issues with it.
Okay..if it is FAKE, then it isnt illegal.
