Do you think there should be an extra tax on legal porn set aside to fight and prosecute child pornography?

Yes.  That way we could use the police for more preventative measures.  We could get rid of the drug dealers.  We could regulate the substance - people would get what they paid for - no sugar, flour, Comet, Drano, etc - and the O.D.s would practically disappear.  We could tax it and help remove the national multitrillion dollar debt. \nI don't use drugs, but I don't think it's the government's right to tell me that I can't.  I am a functioning tax paying adult. The government is not my parent.

Yes I do. For adults, Just like alcohol. And of course they should tax it. You could use the tax money to pay hospitals for the care all those drunks in there with cirrhosis of the liver. We could do so much with the Tax revenue it would be amazing.. We could let the folks who are losing the family farms grow it. Save our farmers. Also you could use the oil from it for so many reasons as well as the fact that HEMP is a versatile rope.. It has so many uses besides getting a buzz.. \n\n\nAnd as for medicinal purposes, Well duh!!! Why should medicine that helps any sick person be withheld from that person? They can get all manner of narcotics and crank and Valium, & etc. But can`t have a natural herb.. \n\n God gave us all the plants and herbs to use according to our purposes. You can peel the bark off of a willow tree and have natural aspirin from tea made with it. You can make a calming cup of chamomile tea. Valium comes from the Valerian Plant.. Almost all medicines come from plants and animals.. Why should this herb/plant be any different.\n\nI would certainly much rather be driving down the street with someone in the next lane going 20 miles an hour looking for the 7/11 and a cookie and a slurpy, than some angry drunk going 80 miles an hour and seeing doubles.. \n\nYou would NOT have children standing on street corners selling dime bags for some rich people in Organized crime so they don`t go to jail. After all your Kid gets right out... \n\n You would actually have room in the jails for child molesters and rapists and murderers and thieves and muggers, and purse thiefs and robbers and burglars and thugs of all kinds. WOW Imagine that!!! They would actually do their time.. What an idea!!!\n\n<><

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.

I know you mean council tax, anyhow the lady in question was wrong not to pay her bill. I agree that carting someone off to jail for a minor offence is abominable when paedophiles are being set free.If only more people complained in this country, look at France, they have a riot every time the government there cocks up!It's time we stopped adopting the "stiff upper lip" attitude and started to show the politicians who their bosses are, us the taxpayer!

Should there be a watchdog on the web to filter out all the stuff that someone might want to be illegal?  Who gets to choose what that stuff is?\n\nYour definition of bad stuff is "cuss words and nuded people."  Mine might be racist words, or threats to individuals or groups.\n\nThere are filters for parents to use to stop this kind of information from reaching their children.  An one of any age can use them.  \n\nShould they be illegal - no.  We don't need more watchguards and big brother looking over everything we do.

No, not outlawed, but regulated as it currently is. Pornography is a personal choice, just like Drug Use and Prostitution. People who view porn usually do it in the privacy of their own homes, harming no one. People who produce it are making huge profits and paying huge taxes on the sale and distribution of it. The major Hotel chains are making a mint from it by offering it on their in-house closed circuit TV as pay per view to hotel guests. The number one thing searched for on the Internet is porn. \n\nTo your second question, that is for individuals,  parents and each person to decide for themselves. Proper supervision, proper education, and a healthy discussion of what it is are a requirement for each child to learn. My morals are not damaged because someone else looks at it. I am bright enough to change the channel. I do not need someone else making my entertainment decisions for me. \n\nI believe that the primary thing that anyone who looks at it should realize it that the actors are just that...Actors...making a choice on how they want to make a living. The women are not forced into it and they are generally better looking than average, the men are usually far above average in the physical endowment area. After all, who wants to look at the girl who wore glasses and was still in a training bra in the 12th grade, and what porn director will hire the average schmuck with the average schmeckle when he can hire a buff and hung stud for the same price. (OK, there are a few who would watch that, but come on...LOL).  \n\nPorn should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nAlcohol should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nProstitution should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nRecreational Drug Use should be legal, regulated and taxed.\nTobacco use should be legal, regulated and taxed.\n\nAddictions and diseases contracted from consumption of any of the above should be paid for by the individual experiencing it, not through subsidies and insurance coverage. Nor should they be allowed to sue for bad outcomes or adverse experiences after making personal decisions to consume, participate, or experience any of the above\n\nStay out of my personal business, I'll stay out of your's. If it doesn't harm another person or damage another person's property or infringe on another person's rights....Get out of the way.

yes we are too politcally correct, things like this let two pedo's go into a park with a video camera to film kids.  When a) the are on parole in a bail hostel and b) one of them had only just been released on bail again the same day charged with new offences that he'd committed since his release from prison!!  Makes you f**king sick that scum like this have more protection than our kids..  same goes for smack heads, thieves.. armed robbers etc..

unless is child porn,dought that is ilegal and if been around years most likly not.but if feel strong about it tell local police.

Yes. Most of us have done something in our lives that we are not proud of. Sometimes in was over 20 years ago when we were younger and not very wise in our ways. Even those who are offenders pay taxes, therfore we are people under the constitution with inalienable rights (see constitution).  \nPerhaps a regulation on the type or how many firearms would be more appropriate for non-violent offenders.

No. United States law specifically defines child pornography as a visual depiction.

I suppose they think it's acceptable because if the government is going to pay them for having babies, why not?  Of course, I do believe that it's unfair to lay all the blame at the women's feet.  No one forces the men not to wear condoms.  It takes two to make a baby and both should be held responsible.\n\nI think that, instead of rewarding people who have all of these illegitimate children, the government should penalize them.  I know that sounds harsh, but the system is being taken advantage of.  I think that people who have no children or one child should be rewarded with a larger tax refund each year. People with two children should get nothing more, but nothing taken away and people with three or more children should be taxed more.  (Of course, if a law like this were passed, I'd say that people who already have three or more should be grandfathered in and be viewed as people who have two children.)

I did not read any of the links, but I would like to know what your point is, really.  I can't believe you think it is a good thing -- or a trivial thing -- to so warp a child's life.  Making it a monetary fine, of whatever amount, is tantamount to making all little children into prostitutes!  And slave prostitutes, at that, since they wouldn't even get the money themselves!!!\n\nThis is really bizarre, and I'm looking forward to your explanation.  I'm not going to follow all those link, and neither is anyone else, I'm guessing.  Or maybe one or two of them, but not all.

Well I'd go with definitely no child porn, or under aged porn, or porn where the subject of the photo doesn't know they are being exploited this way, but doesn't taking porn off the internet sound an awful lot like hard work and censorship?
107797
Probably can, but please don't. It's theft, pure and simple and just makes prices on DVDs higher for everyone else who obeys the law.

The government should keep its hands off the internet. They are already busy trying to figure out how they can tax it. Next will be censorship, followed by placing control of the internet into the hands of some Fat-Cat corporation like AT&T or Exxon, or worse than that some government agency.\n\nKeep the internet free of government control and censorship!\n\nParental controls are available to protect our children—use them!
