In reply to the discussion: Would we like to see Obama be harder on porn? [View all]LiberalLoner
(11,467 posts)10. The right-wingers in Virginia ran ads all the time talking about the thousands of people who
download kiddy porn in Virginia and how they would lock those people up. Apparently they had them pinpointed and the plan was to move in and prosecute.
Anyway at least some of the right-wingers are using this as a political football.
Now, I am not in favor of banning regular porn, but I am just fine with prosecuting kiddy porn and trying to fight against that because as a child who was repeatedly raped, I think that stuff causes great harm and I don't want children going through what I went through.

Honestly... I just wish those who are so obsessed with the porn issue lately would take the day off

Whenever somebody tries that with me, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It really sucks.

Porn is nowhere on the list of things I would like to see Obama getting harder on.

Yeah, people that handle those things excessively are likely to make them go off...

It's not an issue of legislation it's an appeal to become better people
