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..


I've never really understood the "animals can't consent" argument.

A horse cant consent to being owned. It can't consent to being trained. It can't consent to being held in a stall. It can't consent to being ridden, or worked. It can't consent to being transferred from owner to owner. Or from geographic area to geographic area. It can't consent to what it gets fed.

The consent argument doesn't really make sense.

Yes. Because we actually want to conserve our culture, and prevent rampant degeneracy.

Freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.

"The truth shall set you free"

God's perfect law if liberty is what sets you free. Not being a slave to sin. You are either set free in Christ, or a slave to your lusts.

It's the Christian worldview. Our founders knew this and were ok with obscenity laws, sodomy laws, and the like. I think they understood freedom better than you.
Muslim countries have the exact same view on sex and pornography. They LOVE obscenity and sodomy laws. So do I. They are right about that.

Next you're gonna tell me I need to start wearing a burka. The bible is clear that God gave woman hair as her covering so no as long as you dress modestly a burka wont be necessary. That being said, it sure would be more Godly than the women walking around half necked like they do these days. But no, full burka is not my preference. Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

You also didn't make an argument at all. You simply stated you didn't like it. Ok, noted. Moving on.





Holy cow


Women should have to be covered and as long as they have long hair, they don't need a burka?

I hope you don't have a daughter.
Not what I said, but ok.

That sure was a very rude, and very nasty thing to say. You should apologize. I'm a very loving and supportive father who dotes on my daughters. I have two, and Lord willing they will be more well adjusted, and Godly than you.


Bless your heart.


I love how women have to dress modestly rather than men don't act like hound dogs.
You seem to think women are responsible for how men act.


Men are responsible for how they act.

No one else is responsible
I didn't say that either... Did you have fun beating up that strawman?

The scripture clearly states both things are true. Men are to control their eyes, and are responsible for not lusting.
Quote:

Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.



Women are also to dress modestly. Not my opinion but God's law. Take it up with Him.



And we don't live in a theocracy


Take it up with the founding fathers.


But we both know, even if you deny it on here, that women showing skin is the problem and not men reacting to it.

Have a great Sunday.

Shield your eyes if you go to a pool.
Every knee shall bow. Christ is king. You live in His world like it or not. You don't have to answer to me, but you will to Him.

I avoid public pools like the plague.

We have full blown hit the wall here between political conservatism and devout religious beliefs
How can you conserve a culture based on Christian beliefs? What does it even mean to conserve?


No we have not. We have hit the wall between what the left has tried to convince everyone was conservatism and actual conservatism.

The left wants the right to be afraid to use government force to counteract them, so they changed conservatism to "libertarianism" which essentially lets the left do whether they want to socially.

Well not what His word says. He disagrees with you. Or you with Him. "Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" "Go and sin no more!" God bless.

The founding fathers? The slave owning dudes who came from the society satirized in "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Crucible"?

Just letting folks know there is a thread to discuss God's vengeance for those who enjoy scantily clad folks at pools, beaches and on the interwebs.

This thread is about having to provide identifying information to a government agency in order to be able to access items covered under the 1st amendment.

Several of the founders were atheists or agnostic at best. Not sure those would agree.

A core tenet of the founders was about individual freedoms. Folks posing nekked and other people wanting to see that material are reflections of individual freedoms.

Something that goes against what you think your bible says and your PERSONAL beliefs does not make it automatically ILLEGAL.

If you want it all banned, run for office, get some friends to run for office, get the majority of people who vote for the office you ran for to vote for you, and change the law.

Revisionist garbage. Most would be considered fundamentalist Christians today, and the "deist" would be considered almost as radical. Read their total writings and you'll see they would not agree with porn, public obscenity , or homosexuality.

They had laws against it at the time. They were fine with it.

Yes porn and sex outside of wedlock destroy your soul, and like drugs hardwires your brain. It does damage.

He is hardly a role model. Great character reference for your argument. I'm sure God is cool with that one too!

Ronald Hyatt was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial back in January. I have not confirmed, but hopefully one of his final "releases" would be from the jail cell.

As some have mentioned already, many of the founding fathers supported or owned slaves. Women were banned from voting, owning property, or holding public office. Interracial marriage was also forbidden largely based on religious principles.

Do you support those views as well?



You can't use the founding fathers as some ultimate trump card when you decide pick and choose which of their views to agree with.
