You know there are problems that actually relevant, like having terrorist and hate preachers in the UK who we won't deport because of their "human rights".
My question is where are their victims' human rights?
With issues like this, how the hell can censoring porn be protecting us when our soilders are stabbed to death and ran down in the middle of London or the attacks of 7/7 kill dozens of people.
I'm not polictal but I've had it with the coalition.
Sorry for going off topic, the blindness the goverment has to bigger issues just comes to mind when they start doing trivial, unimportant stuff like this.
While I do agree that this block is ridiculous, saying that there are "bigger issues" isn't a good argument. The government can focus on more than one problem at a time. Also, didn't 7/7 happen almost a decade ago?
Anyway, the "think of the children" shtick is such a dirty argument that I'm a bit shocked the leader of any country would use it with a straight face. All it does is automatically portray the opposition as people who don't care about, or even want to harm children. That alone is pretty bad.
But really, a block on porn? What will this accomplish? Even assuming that this will keep young teenagers from getting access to pornography (which it won't), all that means is that they will be hopelessly uneducated about the very concept of sex.
Not to insinuate that porn teaches sex in any positive way, what I'm saying is that keeping teens sheltered from sex and saying "just don't do it" in response to inquiries about it will make teen pregnancy and STD statistics skyrocket. Let's just put this out there:
TEENAGERS, BY THEIR VERY INSTINCT, WILL TRY TO FUCK EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES TO NO END. NO SOCIAL BARRIER CREATED BY MAN WILL EVER STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING.
So how about instead of this shit, we get parents and teachers to show the consequences of unprotected sex, and try to give a picture of the huge responsibility that sex takes in terms of a relationship.
Why not? Because the Bible says things against premarital sex? Well, we might as well stop all production and public services on Sundays as the Bible explicitly warns against working on the Sabbath. Oh, but that doesn't sound very convenient to your infrastructure, does it?
I realise the issue is censoring kids from this. Not adults, they just need better ways to allow adults the freedom and kids have more protection. An no one wants 12 yr olds watching arse fucking vids. We can agree with that. But rape and child porn should be banned. Porn is between concentual adults, not victims of abuse....an anyone that watches that stuff needs to be beaten to death.
