Zamo   10 #376 Posted December 13, 2014 The ridiculous performative nature of pornography does give a false impression of what sex is; anything less than being a Barby doll bimbo type or having a 12 inch penis may make the young and impressionable feel inadequate.  I've never felt inadequate watching someone with a 12 inch penis having sex just because my penis is only 11 inches.  The reality of life is we do not have equality in looks, size, health, wealth, brain power or anything else. There are winners and losers in everything and it is a pointless excess trying to shield people from the fact.  I agree with Julian Huppert here: New laws that ban certain types of online British porn from being viewed should be debated by MPs, according to a Liberal Democrat MP  He has tabled an Early Day motion - which is essentially a proposal for a parliamentary debate - which calls for the regulations to be annulled. Any MP that claims to defend liberty should add their name to the EDM.  Absolutely agree. Why busy bodies want to tell consenting adults what they can and can't do/watch is beyond me.

Waldo   96 #377 Posted December 13, 2014 Are they? that's excellent news.  Great isn't it! I agree with you dear, men who watch porn are just as bad as pedophiles. In fact, maybe you don't go far enough? Maybe you should campaign for all men to be castrated at birth? I am sure there are other female members of this forum who would be eager to join that campaign!  That'll properly protect the children; oh, wait...

Not everyone, particularly children, is as strong in their self belief.  Stopping children easily accessing porn is a worthwhile thing. But it's a job for parents, not ISPs. Although giving parents a 'parental control' isn't a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Although giving parents a 'parental control' isn't a bad thing.  They could force ISP's to provide some easy opt-in mechanic that would restrict access. Why don't they just do that?

Obelix   11 #380 Posted December 13, 2014 Are they? that's excellent news.  First they came for the pornographers, and I didn't care because I wasn't a kiddie fiddler.  Then they came for the Communists, and I didn't care because I was a socialist  Then they came for the Jews, and it was no concern to me as I wasn't a money lender  And when they came for the Christians there was no one to help me...    ...with apologies to Pastor Niemoller.

Cyclone   10 #383 Posted December 14, 2014 They could force ISP's to provide some easy opt-in mechanic that would restrict access. Why don't they just do that?  That is pretty much what has happened. Except it will be opted in at sign up by default and you need to choose to opt out. (The place I'm working expect 90% to make this choice, it's as easy as possible to do).

Waldo   96 #384 Posted December 14, 2014 Isn't that more like opt-out Cyclone?  Also, if 90% is anything like typical of the general population, shouldn't we be catering to the majority?  I would have though, of the following 3 groups:  A: watches porn. B: indifferent. C: doesn't watch porn, and wants it blocked by default in order to protect their children, and doesn't mind inconveniencing group A because they consider them all to be on a par with pedophiles.  Out of the above 3 groups, I would have thought A would out-number C. If so, why are we pandering to a small but vocal minority? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
