Wanting to restrict access to porn for minors is now "nanny state."
It is so incredibly over for whatever passes for conservatism these days. Very sad.
It's already against the law.
Can we restrict guns purchases in the same manner? Age verification with ID that has to be stored n a database. You know, for the children.
Show where porn is in the second amendment.
First amendment.
You find that one in the penumbras? Because obscenity has never been protected speech.
And the supreme court has drawn a line between porn and obscenity. It considers the former protected speech.
The Supreme Court also wrongly considered abortion to be a protected right based on laughable contortions of the law. Hence my comment about the penumbras.
There is no right to porn. Any argument otherwise is just silly. There is especially no right to anonymous porn.
Just because you say that doesn't make it true.
Currently, there is a right to porn and it's protected by the 1st amendment.
There is no right to own slaves yet at one time the law pretended to make it so. Discuss
Why would there not be a right to porn?
I'm not talking watching on the bus or showing it to kids in school...
You do not have a right to evil, and some things are intrinsically evil. For an off the wall comparison, it's why you can't have sex with your horse even though it is your property.
Porn is intrinsically evil and leads to societal contagion.
People can't engage in consensual behavior with others?
I guess you don't believe in the US Constitution or freedom and liberty...
As to the horse thing (JFC that's a dumb example), I can't believe that I have to explain that the horse can't give consent. <- THERE is a sentence I'd never thought I'd ever read, let alone type..
If a horse or a child can give consent, it would still be wrong to have sex with them. We let parents consent for their children all the time, it would be wrong for a parent to let their child have sex with someone.
Some things are intrinsically wrong. I know that we live in a moral vacuum where it's taboo to claim things like right and wrong still exist, but they still exist.
The people who wrote the constitution and myself have much different ideas of liberty than the modern libertine. There is no such thing as the freedom to do evil, that is vice and that is license. The idea was that man should not be prevented to achieving his efficient cause; which was union with God. To achieve union with God, the creator endowed man with certain rights that enabled him on his path. This is why the founding fathers and others of that time frame had a much harsher view of state enforced morality than I do.
