Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

[reverendjeremiah]

That's a red herring, I tried to keep this focused to one example so it would be simpler. The only purpose I can see for dressing up girls to be underage and then give them scripted lines intending for them to be younger than legal age would be to make people see an underage girl having sex/ being exploited. That's against the intent of the law, and IMO, should be just as illegal.
I do agree however that asking an industry based on greed to not be greedy is a fruitless effort.

Fine, you want to call the last post a red herring. Then lets do it this way. You are absolutely correct. A porn producers SPECIFICALLY makes a video dressing up LEGAL girls and making them act underage for THE SOLE PURPOSE of appealing to the people who want to have underage sex. There, is that blunt enough for you?

Now, since everything in that is bluntly focused for making LEGAL people look underage, you cant call it a red herring.

Now..what are you going to do? Everything is legal wether you like it or not, wether I like it or not. You want to legislate some thought crimes now? It is now illegal to even THINK of having sex with an underage kid. So much for, you know, having some evidence of an actual crime. Just a police officer thinking that you have thought about having sex with an underage girl is a jailable offense. Should we keep little kids off of videos from here on out? Who says it has to be a sex vid that pedo's like? Wouldnt a pedo also get off on watching all those kids on the Disney channel as well?

Honestly, answer that question for me. Where does this start to become thought crime, and no longer about actual crimes? also, if pedo's are attracted to kiddie stuff that ISNT porn, shouldnt we shut them down as well? Because its obviously getting the pedo aroused as well. If we make LEGAL rape porn illegal, then shouldnt we remove all mention of it in movies, the news, and other media? Or is PORN the only outlet that deserves special considerations?

I am infact chaotic good ^_^ Occasionally I slide more down towards neutral (especially when it comes to war and politics). I view laws as an unnecessary loophole through which I am expected to jump when I could have already had a job done. Hence: i don't jump through them unless the it is strongly enough to my benefit (in the vein of 'bonus multiplier!').

Im Neutral Good ^_^ I stay solidly on this alignment. Benevolence is what really matters socially to me. If a law is not benevolent, it deserves to be ignored. If a law is benevolent, then it should be followed.
