Which would you prefer, the perverts to be safely at home, harming no one, looking at porn to vent their sexual frustrations, OR have them take it out on the public, or even worse, our kids. Porn can ruin a family, just as easy as drugs. But the scale of damage is usually small in comparison to what happens if the border line sex offender did not have this venue of release. Maybe if Jack The Ripper, Or the Boston Strangler had internet porn, they may have been at home “relieving” their twisted fantasys. But no.
Reply,
People died. Think Bible thumpers,Think. If you do not wish for your children to view pornography on the internet, then put up a parental block, or supervise them. What was the down fall of Eden? The overwhelming need to find out what the “taboo” thing was they were being denied. Do your children find it irresistable not to “sneek-a-peek” at their Christmas presents? And if they do, do they act upon it? Maybe your influence on them is not as strong as you think. And ask your self this. When going through your E-Mail, and come upon a porn site ad, just for a moment don’t you feel the curiosity to open it to take a “sneek-a-peek”? In every society, throughout history, since cave man, there has been pornography. So ask yourselves this, which would you rather hear about. Your uncle Willy Bob having to file bankruptcy because he charged $15,000 in internet porn, OR Uncle Willy Bob being held on $1,000,000 bail for the rape and murder of your child? If you picked the latter, you were probably a big fan, and contributor of Jim and Tammy Faye Baker Huh?

Replydarryl July 11th, 2008
i dnt think porn shud b banned 4 1 reason. freedom of choice. If u think its descusting, then dnt go on it. but if u enjoy then proceed 2 watch it. Just coz some ppl dnt like it recon they can take away internet porn. I mean come on, if u ban porn wots gnna b happening?
heres a few things i recon wud or cud happen:
higher teenage pregnancy
less safety from sexual predetors
our children/desendents less safe
it may b my opinion but like mark sed “Which would you prefer, the perverts to be safely at home, harming no one, looking at porn to vent their sexual frustrations, OR have them take it out on the public, or even worse, our kids.”
Replywell i no which 1 i’d prefer. Not sure on you tho but in the end u gotta make this choice: “BAN PORN AND HAVE YOUR CHILD POSSIBLY RAPED BY SOME STRANGER (not sayin it wil happen, but the chances are pretty high) OR KEEP PORN AVAILABLE AND REDUCE THE RISK TO YOUR CHILDREN?”
I wernt pickin on any1 in tht particualar question just so u know.

i’m sorry for all the things i said in the past..
ReplyAndrew September 5th, 2008
So are you, darryl, telling us that rape and teen pregnacy has decreased in the past 10-20 years since the internet has become what it has? I dissagree with you completely; porn destroys families and increases ppls likelyhood of rape; especially child molestors. The more that you get into it the less it satiates the sexual desires driving one more and more into it untill photos and movies cant do a thing for you. Now i’m not saying that this will always happen but it is no less specualtion than what you have writen.
ReplyPaul September 22nd, 2008
No Andrew but I will tell you that.
Sexual assault has fallen dramatically in the US since the early 1970’s.(US dept of Justice stats) In fact the US states with the highest take up of internet technologies have the lowest sexual assault rates and vice versa.
Teen pregnancy has also fallen across the US to the lowest point since 1972 (see National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).
Whilst I appreciate that sex and porn is an emotive issue and many wish that they could lay the blame for all the “moral transgressions” against their own standards and more abhorrently, sex crimes, the data does not stack up.
In addition to this independent data many studies are now being conducted on the links between porn and crime. I suggest reading “Pornography, Rape, and the Internet” by Todd D. Kendall of Clemson University or “Porn Up, Rape Down” by Anthony D’Amato from Northwestern University - School of Law (which demonstrates a 85% reduction in sex crimes inversely correlated with the rise in pornography) before falling into line with the mob mentality.

An interesting statistic for you to consider. In a 2007 survey over 15 countries 49% of males and 11% of females admitted to viewing Internet Pornography on a regular basis (once a week). So remember that over 30% of the population would disagree with banning porn.
Another thing that might interest you is that countries with open talk about sex, sex ed in schools, legal access to pornography and prostitution have far lower rates of sex crimes (particularly against women) and surprisingly a lower rate of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (better education = lower chance of STD).
Although in India we think that sex is taboo and because it is so hush hush we will be better off we are wrong. What ends up happening is we end up with a population sexually frustrated and uneducated about sex. Hence high rates of sex crimes and high birth rates (lack of contraceptives).
Other countries which are very open about sex and teach sex education in all High Schools are better of. An example is Australia, where porn is legal and it is COMPULSORY to teach students sex education at High School (Age 13-18). In Australia there are per capita 78% less sex related crimes and under 0.5% of the Population suffer AIDS or other life threatening STD’s. Compare that to India’s abysmal record and the fact India considers itself more moral. India will become the country home to the largest number of AIDS suffers because of this negligence.
Here a further reasons to legalize pornography:
- more legal porn means illegal porn
- better regulation of sex industry (Porn/Prostitution)
- more knowledge about sex
- offers a release for many people
It is important for us all to be open-minded with this issue and one further comment. Porn only exists because people watch it… if there are nearly 372 million porn webpages and 266 new porn sites open every day. What does that tell you about exactly how many people watch porn.

Mistake:
- More legal porn mean LESS illegal porn
ReplyAjit Parkash November 12th, 2008
