I'm sorry but did you say that Pornography should be BANNED?
Be careful about using words like that while we have someone in office that was trying to RE-WRITE the Constitutioin of the United States in order to take away our Civil Rights. We live in a country that Used to be FREE, but little by little you see the Federal Government chipping away our rights. These are the same rights that people in other countries wish they could have.
The Freedom of Speach, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Relegion, Freedom to bear arms, Freedom to peacefuly DISSAGREE with the leader of our country without loosing our lives. That is what our forefathers fought for. That is why we CELEBRATE the 4th of July. That is why our way of life is envied by so many millions of people worldwide.
Once you start telling others what they can read, write, believe, and the way they exist; where would you stop? I'm sure that sometime in the future science will have the technology to have people THINK a certain way. Maybe used to rehabilate those in prison so they won't be inclined to behave like criminals. Hell we're giving our kids Retlin to get them to think and act more CALMLY already!
The stories that we have at this Web Site would get the authors killed in some countries. Take a look at the newspapers of our guys fighting over in Iraq. They were FORBIDDEN to take Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler, etc into the WAR ZONE because the civilians over there might find them and start THINKING for themselves and overthrow their own leaders. (Hmmm, that would mean that our guys wouldn't have to be there... lol)
Once you start talking about taking away MY Rights, the rights that the veterans of WWI, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam, Gulf War, and Bay of Pigs; sacrificed life and limb to preserve, is about the time you start packing your bags to move to one of those countries that WILL take away those rights. You will live in FEAR of those in office, because you wanted them to have the right to make you do anything that THEY want. You will feel like a slave to the state and probably will be.
If you are a female citizen of the United States of America where you can do just about anything you want. You have Power. You have a say as to what your government can and can't do. Look at how your sisters in the middle East are treated and live. They have to be covered in a sack to go shopping, no portion of their flesh to be exposed to the public eye. They don't know what how to read, do math, work in an office, because it was against the law for the females to go to school. They risk their lives for minor offenses. Their Father's, Uncle's, Grandfathers, arrange their marriage while they are still in diapers. If they dissagree with the arrangement when they get older and understand what has been done about their future, their Father or Brother has the RIGHT to Kill them to save the honor of the family.
You might want to think about these things when you use the word "Ban".
I don't like his publication much, but I am PROUD of all that LARRY FLYNT went through in order to DEFEND OUR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have the RIGHT to BAN if for others. They wanted to take books from the libraries and burn them because they were disturbed of how the people in the stories interacted with those of another race. I thought it was redicules to destroy the works of such wonderful authors as Mark Twain, Sir Author Connon Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroghs, etc. Just sit back and relesh those Freedoms that you seem to take for granted. THINK of what your world would be like if those Freedoms were taken from you, how it would feel to be a second or even third class citizen if you are a FEMALE.
