I'm sorry. RandySF Nov 2013 #46

I don't think hardly anyone who regularly posts on this board would want to ban porn. dawg Nov 2013 #49

There is no cutoff between porn and art. Porn is art. nt rrneck Nov 2013 #9

I wouldn't jail anyone unless there was "actual" rape, statutory or otherwise. dawg Nov 2013 #26

That is a good sentiment, but I don't know how it is workable in a constitutional sense Kurska Nov 2013 #28

I support making it illegal to "produce" or "distribute". dawg Nov 2013 #34

You're still encountering the freedom of speech problem. Kurska Nov 2013 #37

I'm not adjusting my opinion; I'm just explaining it better. dawg Nov 2013 #42
