You tell me cause thats what your advocating.
No--I'm advocating that society continue to take a role in raising morally healty children.
And who is saying that porn is out there knocking on your door trying to force you to watch it?
I never said that
Newsflash. It is impossible. Try telling a pedophile not to rape kids. Try telling a murderer not to kill people. Try telling a kidnapper not to kidnap kids. Will they say, oh i never saw it that way before? NO! These bad things are out there. All you can do as a society is lock up those that commit these crimes. All you can do as a parent is to teach kids to recognize these kinds of people and stay away from them. You can't be there to hold your kids hand the whole way. ITs impossible. Do you tell your kids to call for you every time they encounter a person they think is bad or do you tell them to recognize a bad person and react accordingly?
Arresting sex criminals is societies way of protecting children. Are you saying they should quit and just leave it up to the parents?
Don't live in the neighborhood with XXX stores lined up and down. Move to the neighborhood full of churches. If a neighborhood decides to allow a XXX store/theater in their area then dont complain when the majority said they have no problem with it. ITs alot easier for 1 person to move then for that one person to move everyone else around them out.
Cool--then tell the one person who can't stand hearing "under God" in the pledge to move out of the country.
Which is bullshit. Why do a minority of people want to tell the majority of people, who have no problem living their lives peacefully, how to live their lives? It doesnt effect your life AT ALL. Someone looking at porn or going to a pornographic theater does not effect your life. If anything you should be happy. There will be more room in heaven since all these people are sinners. So why are you complaining?
Keep it in the theaters--keep it in private homes. Don't try to play me out as a prude because you would be sorely mistaken. I think porn has it's place and so do millions of others, including atheists.
?Society bears no such responsibilty. In a true Darwinian environment, the weak would not survive. Instead we have the weak being carried by the strong which in turn creates more weak and fewer strong. So what do we do when society becomes completely weak and the strong die off
excuse me--I should have said successful societies. Hedonistic societies crumble from within.
And who then decides what is good for society and what does no harm. Creating laws that eliminate a harmless item for the sake of the children does not HELP society. It merely hinders it and pushes it closer to totalitarianism. You are so fearful of the society that exists now, imagine if someone enacted laws that made it legal for people to run naked through the streets and have sex in your front lawn? Then they pushed it a step further. What if they outlawed prayer as something that was hurting society? What if a minority felt that prayer and churches were the ultimate evil in our society (which some do) and were determined to outlaw all of it? Would that be good for society if they said it was? Or is your determination of what is good for society the only one that matters?
I'm not sure who really makes these decisions but they are made ALL THE TIME. How about a big billboard on the main street of your town with a couple having sex. Harmless in your opinion, right? Well then why in the hell don't you put one up? They already HAVE made prayer illegal in some public places. What the hell are you talking about?
Thought like yours, dillo is dangerous. You allow a vocal minority to strip away basic liberties for the "good of society" or "to protect the children" when most of soceity is getting along just fine without any restrictions. They are finding their way to live their life wholesomely without the help of governmental laws. Then if the tables are turned as is the case with these atheists, your not so quick to allow the minority the right to tell society what to do. Which way is it dillo? Minority telling people what to do or letting people decide what is right and what is wrong based on what they believe and leaving the government out of it?
Porn is a basic liberty? Nambla says boy/man sex is a basic liberty too. You support that? If you friend had a son and said "hey--would you try to stop this organization to help protect my child" would you do it? Or would you say "tough shit--ain't my kid"
