I feel like Joe Biden after one of Sarah Palin's debate answers....where to begin? Where to begin?
Just a little quote first:
What I don't understand is why would one victimization be seen as legitimate and the other not?-- hyblaean
One person's "victimization" is another person's "freedom of choice" and another person's erotica. One could argue that drugs (and alcohol), pornography, prostitution, gambling, and pretty much all the vices victimize someone. But, as we know, some are sanctioned, some are illegal, all are profitable.
Just for the record, I have no use for porn, but the issues I see here are twofold: one, First Amendment freedoms, and two: selective enforcement of dubious laws and the manipulation of the justice system. Nothing new under the sun, here, folks.
However, I'm still making a scrinchy face with regard to Heru-ur's take on porn after our lively discussion on his feelings about unplanned pregnancies/sex/abortion.
Just goes to demonstrate that complexity that is human personality.
P.S. To Good Celery - It took me a little while, but I'm beginning to comprehend your freestyle poetry. Cyber "terr-rist fist jab" to ya, buddy. xx
