Pornography should be banned!
extreme pornography absolutely ban but how often Hollywood over the years present ever more pornography as entertainment anyone else feel that?
Even though im against porn, the lady case is weak, and feel like shes trying to fear monger me.
You’re ridiculous she did amazing
How was her case weak, exactly?
Weak

Yes, pornography should be banned! And it's demonic that these disgusting ads pop up on kids internet games and things like that. The system is corrupt.
Okay, was the question can it be banned, or can you prevent it completely? That's two different things. Many drugs are banned, yet they are still used. But there are supposed to be concequences to selling and possessing drugs. I say supposed because in many states and cities/counties it is not applied, at least not really.
If course we should ban it. Of course people will still produce it. There should be arrests of those people and investigation as to their participation (willing or unwilling).
Even though I oppose porn around children, it is unconstitutional because it steps on the freedom of expression.
I used to believe that as well, as much as I found it to be disgusting and immoral, because I'm very libertarian minded. Over the past decade or so, and especially in the past few years, I've changed my mind on that because I've come to see the net harm that it's done to society. Not just "porn", either, but pornographic elements in television and movies. It's desensitized the Millennial generation to the point where they're allowing pornographic material into K-12 libraries and their moral compasses are no longer exactly pointing north. It destroys marriages and families, it destroys individuals. I would honestly say, without hyperbole, that it is the single most destructive thing in our society if you take it all into account, and it's all but invisible because it's been so normalized.
It also directly and indirectly supports the trafficking industry.
I would say "bring back the curtain of shame in the video store" kind of mentality but we know that will never happen. Even legislation is unlikely to be the right call, either. But something definitely has to be done. It's a cancer.
@@anwylhsm954 I understand your position, but society conditions us to pretend as if the dark nature of human nature does not exist. Despite the harm, people will continue to give into such things in many forms (i.e. videos, magazines, photos, etc.) Even when marriage rates were high in the US, porn existed. For me, I believe that adults should be able to do what adults do. I just think that there should be safe spaces for kids.
