I like a combination of both.Here we go with the double standards.
Some people aren't good at making informed decisions in the marketplace, so more regulation solves that right?
Some people aren't good at budgeting and saving for retirement, so Social Security is perfect right?
Some parents aren't good at packing nutritious lunches for their kids, so we should ban soda and candy and chips at school right?
Some people are not good at dieting, so we should ban fatty foods from store shelves right?
God damn how the fuck do some of you people call yourselves conservatives???
I am merely suggesting that we need to make it harder for children to access porn. Did I say it's the governments job?
Methinks you have a hard time understanding the difference between libertarians and conservatives....
Who do you think is going to do it? The free market? They make BILLIONS off porn in the free market, there's no way anyone but the government is going to force them to change their system in any way that might hinder business.
What's the great idea for enforcing this? How does an internet site guarantee no access to children? You can create all the requirements in the world and people are still going to get through.
There's too much money in porn to expect the market to police itself on the issue. So that leaves only government.
I expect the free market to offer parents a way to protect their children form viewing porn on the internet. There are companies that do just that.
I expect government to make common sense regulations that are not a burden to businesses. Like showing an ID to get in a bar- yeah, some kids get a fake ID, but most don't. Government can make it a little harder... I don't want 2nd and 3rd graders looking at hardcore porn....
