The person who answered that "the "decay of morality" that you see is a myth" is right and wrong.\n\nHe's right in that "decay of morality" doesn't mean much.\n\nHe's wrong in that there is an actual increase in behaviors that harm people: obesity, high school dropouts, addictions of all kinds. These are the results of our increasing inability to see clearly from a moral point of view. That is, there IS a decline in our moral judgment abilities.\n\nIf you could see clearly and know what it right and what is wrong, then pornography could be multiplied 50 times, it would not make a difference.\n\nThe problem, of course, is that the increasing supply of pornographic material makes it easier to consume, thus increasing the demand, which then increases the supply. Hence, the vicious cycle continues.\n\nThe solution might be to have non-judgmental and open discussions, among men, about pornography.

Internet providers agree to promote dismemberment materials so as to keep the internet fair and free. Perhaps you should adjust an adult content filter to insensitive. Does is have a setting for "Would rather remain ignorant of world events."?

yeah yahoo images has some issues, not just on this, you type in girl and beside pictures of little girls you get pictures of naked women having sex, they really should have some way of separating the porn from the other pictures.  As for your question, I don't know, I suppose everyone has a right to do what they want, but dear lord that is something that could be offensive to even to a open minded porn liking person.  I don't know if it was wrong, but dear lord I think it is something that you shouldn't have to see that's for sure.  I hope you can cleanse your brain.

The Indonesian government and the parliament consider this anti-pornography and pornoaction law is a manifestation from the culture of Eastern Nations. As an "eastern", Indonesia should preserve the decorous behavior from "Bad" behavior such as pornographies and pornoactions.\n\nIts look like "on the horns of a dilemma", one side we should preserve the heritages of our anchestors, but in another side the era of globalization has come, bundled with its "Freedom" styles.\n\nI think we should harmonized this two conditions wisely, Faster, Better.\n\nThanks....and Be Wise....

Your OPINION for "les/gay porno" doesn't matter to the authorities as long as the people doing it are legal. By the way, why are you just focusing on lesbian and gay pornography? There's PLENTY more hetero sh*t on the Internet. Why not go after THEM? Loser.

There is a certain level of decency that needs to be maintained... not to mention the health needs.  You never know what diseases a person has and the last thing I want to do is touch something that someones naked seeping body has been on.\n\nHealth and decency are the big ones.  Plus I don't want my kids to see naked people all over... it's bad enough porn is plastered everywhere and readily available online, I don't want it walking around everywhere.

I think the best prevention of children getting a hold of porn is for parents to give more of a s*** what goes on in their children's lives. There is a such a thing as content filters, and damn good ones. I know.\n\nThe best defense against porn is not in the hands of the government. The government already has too much on its plate to be messing with something else it cannot control.\nWhen this information is gathered...what do the plan to do to enforce it?\n\nGovernment shouldn't mess around in places unless they can prove they  have a good enough reason to. Furthermore, government should not be messing in people's private lives unless they have adequate means in which to take action against what they want to monitor-children access to porn included.\n\nI am so angry that parents do not give enough of a s**** of their kids that the government has to mess around in this sort of thing. Our parents or guardians are supposed to be our mommy and daddy, not some big impersonal institution such as the government.\n\nWhat is Americal doing?  It's going to hell in a hand basket if it doesn't wake up.  We as a people do not have any power any more. If we would just do what we are supposed to do in our private lives we wouldn't have to let the government take control of our lives. Would we???\n\nSide note: The best use of the information that Google, Yahoo, MSN or other search engines hand off to the government is for...government officials to j*** off.

pornography is degrading women ! most women in that line of work chose it because they feel it is the only way they can make decent money, (does it promote violence) yes sometimes . Is it harmful again yes it can be ,especially when young men are viewing it because it gives them a warped idea of what sex should be like, most decent women will not condone what takes place in porn.

Sometimes I get on "News Discuss" and the profanity is the worst I have ever read. They call it "trolling" as an excuse. Sometimes young people are interested in the topics also and all they have to do is depress the "Discuss" icon and they are in the discussion board. \nAlso when I surf the web for certain topics, some of the titles are inviting you to a porn site or anything that is not recommended for innocent children. Parents can program the computer, but some of these kids nowadays know more about computers than older people. Some children can override their parents desires by out-computing their parents. Something has to be done\n\nAbsoultely nothing. If parents are afraid their children are being exposed to something questionable, then the parents should make a point of supervising their children whenever possible. It might not be a perfect plan, but it's better than censorship

Pornography is compared to Adultery(fornication) in Islam..and it is considered a sin and one should repent from it.....Why is it compared or alike? Because when u see porn, it may open a door to fall into adultery

No, watching porn is good for you.  It's a healthy expression of human sexuality

The laws regarding obscenity charges etc are not even state laws usually but are set at the local level. I live in Georgia with a similar political climate and here there is no police coming to people's homes to check for porn. What I would do though to be safe is sell any such movies online because then what you sell becomes interstate commerce and is only subject to federal law through the interstate commerce clause in the US constitution.

Pornography is now mainstream media.\n\nInappropriate material is available on TV, movies, music video, computer games, etc.\n\nChildren are exposed to filth on a regular basis.  Adults that do not wish to participate are wxposed as well.\n\nIt stinks.

People think porn is bad thing because they don't want their kid and family to see. \nTo see a porn in public is bad but see in private is good.\n\nIt is just like doing ****** in private but in public you should be nice.

What a good question. I believe that the Internet is basically good insofar as it improves communications between people all over the planet. It has the potential to enrich and improve lives, but just like in the real world, there are a lot of people who operate on the dark side and engage in base and awful things. One major problem is the internet can be reached and used in private behind closed doors and therefore the really awful stuff comes out.\n\nWhat you do in private defines your inner character, and I am afraid that lots of people in the world today have characters that are dark. But all-in-all, I still feel that the benefits outweight the negatives. \n\nAgain... good question.

It is very tricky to answer. Yes it's a hard situation (no pun intended) the learning sites have routes to porn. Remember, the bill of rights was invented with no concept of internet and stuff, to stop the people posting the sites, you might be asking to tamper with our basic freedoms. This is an interesting topic.

Statisically speaking there is no social good from the sex industry as far as pornography or prositution is concerned. It causes disasterous consequences even above those relating to the mental and emotional harm it causes.  Just think of this statistic, the average age of 'women' when they begin pornography or prositution is 12! And 1 in 5 pictures of pornography is of someone under the age of 18.  Any money made by the businesses that barter in these industries is far outweighted by the social evil it perpetrates.
