Pornography - are you for or against it and why?

[Skipper]

Censorship yes, based on my morality no. Child pornography is illegal. Therefore, society has deemed that images being perceived of children having sex is unjust (for whatever reasons they don't really matter).

Society has deemed children should not be taken advantage of sexually. So therefore having sex (and obviously also filming it) with a child is illegal. The fact that it is legal to film a scene with consenting adults doing whatever consenting adults wish to do throws a spanner in the works for your argument that society has deemed "legal child porn" something that needs banning. Society has deemed murder illegal, is showing a simulated or acted version of that illegal? Nope.

Do you think I should let 5 year olds with a credit card but a rocket launcher or a sword? no of course not, but that 's what you're advocating

I defend the right for consenting adults to partake in or view a type of pornography that has NO victims and I'm advocating children buying high explosives? Yeah. Good one.

You're basically saying that everyone should do what they want without regard for the safety or sustainable of society in general.

That is not what I have said at all. I've clearly opposed any porn where there is a victim. All I've done is defend the right to film porn where there are no victims.

What you propose isn't even Ochlocracy, but pure anarchy. Absolute individual freedom just like true free speech, is at best a pipe dream. I thought I was an idealist, till I came here.

Proposing anarchy just means disagreeing with you now does it? Jesus Christ!

I am proposing consenting adults should be able to film or watch whatever porn they wish if nobody is actually getting hurt...porn that is already LEGAL...as deemed so by society

Banning this type of faked or simulated child porn would do nothing to protect children who are actually in danger or who are actually being abused. It could conceivably even increase demand for it if the legal alternative is not there. Even banning this faked child porn would unlikely stop it and just push the otherwise legal, taxable, regulated and safe porn industry that produces it underground. Prohibition of things people want does nothing to stop the demand for those things and I maintain that if there is a demand that can be fulfilled with no victim then I see no reason why fulfilling that demand should be illegal, whether we're talking about alcohol, drugs or porn.

Also, I'm the idealist here? I'm not the one suggesting banning things I don't agree with.
