https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7uxt4j This may be the craziest quote by the charismatic evangelical pastor John Hagee. Hagee has a history of making wild statements. We can't deny that Hagee has good intentions, but these intentions are obscured by mental illness. He is one of the great...

Utah Governor Gary Herbert to sign resolution calling porn a 'health hazard' http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/18/health/utah-governor-porn-resolution-health-hazard/index.html

And so says "Professor" Judith Reisman of Liberty University (an unvalidated right wing diploma mill) in an article published by the (also right wing) World Net Daily. Even by the dubious standards of that home of home of woo and wingnuttery the article was little short of bizarre...

I haven't really paid much attention to what he's been saying because I don't believe he has a chance of winning but this is nuts. Santorum wants to ban porn. As far as I'm concerned "obscenity law" runs against the first amendment...

Michigan Inmate Sues State Over Prison's Porn Ban http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/07/04/michigan-inmate-sues-state-over-prisons-porn-ban/#ixzz1REhzhNfj I'm all for treating criminals like criminals and not exactly shedding a tear per se, but seems to me that the more they have access to this...

Not all feminists are against pornography, but many of the more radical feminists believe pornography should be outlawed because it is "demeaning" to women. It is "exploitation" and "denigrating", they claim. Some even claim that men who enjoy pornography on a regular basis are much more likely...

Here's a picture of Michelle Bachman looking very statemanlike. http://www.alan.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/B001256.jpg Ok, shes not the brightest apple to fall from the tree but she is still very hot for a politician, plus she has 6 years of congressional experience. She is very popular...

Osama bin Laden - Pervert Not sure if this should go in the 'bin Laden is dead' thread, but I think its a bit different enough to warrant its own thread... Turns out that of the items captured from bin Laden's compound was a collection of pornography. From...

Interesting blog on the CNN website today... I thought that part in bold pretty much sums up the truth of the matter. I wonder if the auther was also thinking of the Bible when he said, "... most Christian books..." :D > Link to Full Article <

I did a quick search of the forum and found nothing, and this seemed like the place to ask, so is anyone familiar with The Candeo Program? The website claims that "At Candeo, we provide you with the proven methods and tools based on actual brain science that will empower you to stop your...

WTF? In this day and age people are still being prosecuted for putting porn made by consenting adults on the internets? Just because it's "obscene" in the eyes of The Church Lady? In fact, yes: http://reason.com/blog/2010/05/03/recently-at-reasontv-should-ob...

The title says it all. I'm interested to hear people's views, particularly justifications for/against, including details of any scientific and empirical evidence against porn. Who's first?

I’m trying to find articles discussing the arguments for and against the supposed link between access to porn and rape. I’m not having much luck using google, can anyone help out here?

Any thoughts on this? Full article: naplesnews.com ETA: Janke thinks his wife was outed because a picture of her sitting next to family values Republican Connie Mack, Florida Congressman, at a fundraiser was featured on the news. We'll see what Macks' statement is on this.

This article was in our local paper this morning. Now, granted, there may be more to this story than what has been reported, but it certainly sounds like the thought police have arrived, judging by the first two sentences alone. http://www.calgarysun.com/news/alberta/2009/06/23/9895721-sun.html...

From New Scientist Feb 27th, 2009 : (here) And the most amusing finding:

Linky. Damn, even the UK is trying to ban my cat-boy maid bondage porn... Anyway, this is another one that is banning images that are unrelated to actually committed crimes. The concern here is apparently the same as the fake-pedo porn law that future criminals may indulge in and then go on...

Monday, November 5, 2007 Radical feminists have long believed that there's a connection between the objectification of women and porn. These study seems to show otherwise. TITLE; Monday, November 5, 2007 IL - Is pornography a catalyst of sexual violence? No In the 1980s, conservatives and...

There have been a few threads on here recently dealing with pornography and / or prostitution, and they got me thinking.* In most jurisdictions in the US, and in the UK, the exchange of money for sex is illegal if contextualised as prostitution, but legal if contextualised as pornography. The...

Library Internet Filters Okay, so I am working my shift Saturday afternoon at the Library, when a patron (a woman in her 60's) approached the circulation desk ti file a complaint: "That boy over there in the maroon shirt is looking at naked women.", she announced in a not so quiet voice. I...

Old news, but still newsworthy . . . Next they'll be telling us that Steve Jobs is the Anti-Christ (personally, I think it's Bill Gates), and that computers open the doorway to Hell.

What should be legal to own, what shouldn't, and why? By child I mean someone under the age of 18. Feel free to make a separate distinction for someone under the age of 16, and under the age of 14. 1. erotic stories depicting child sex, with no illustrations or voices. 2. audio erotic stories...
