Will bush cracking down on porn affect you? Could a sentance with bush, crack, and porn be any less erotic?

Could they waste my tax dollars any more? I figure any dollar spent, is a dollar that could have been spent on the war on terror. Which means that the question has to be asked, "Is this expense worth it enough to take a dollar away from the war on Terror?" When it comes to porn, steroids, and weed, George Bush says yes.
 
Do you really think that Bush wants to wipe out the Republican lead among male voters? Porn stays.
 
What a bizarre job.

Either way, Nguyen, father of a 2-year-old girl, and his co-workers spend their days scouring the Internet for the most obscene material, following leads sent in by citizens and tracking pornographers operating under different names. The job wears on them all, day after day, so much so that the obscenity division has recently set up in-house counseling for them to talk about what they're seeing and how it is affecting them.

A good point. 10 billion dollar a year industry? How many jobs? Bush is stifling growth.

We owe so much to porn. Just in my lifetime, it was the driving force for VCR technology, pay-per-view, and the internet.

You think the internet would be half of what it is without porn driving its popularity?
 
Should not worry too much. The final copy of the Meese report in the 80's was one of the best porn collections ever produced.

The threat sounds real to me. I'm going to start stocking up today to lay in a four-year's supply of pornography.
 
Did these guys forget the internet? All they can do is move porn over seas to the same place as all the MP3 sites.
 
Amazing...and in an election year, too! Whoda thunk?

Gulliamo's right...as long as there's P2P file sharing, pr0n will live forever!

Yeah but they'll all be the same file, simply renamed :)

Or maybe they'll put a picture, name and address of everyone who downloads it on a site for everyone's amusement.

I read an article of a sherrif(I think) who did that to people to hired prostitutes.

What could Bushs real motivation be?

If the task of cracking down on regular porn becomes too difficult to get away with, I bet Ashcroft will begin concentrating on a crackdown on gay porn. Easier to convince a jury that it's obscene, and the righties will have the satisfaction of once again chipping away at the rights of sexual minorities.

Tweak your definitions of porn ever so slightly, and you can justify shutting down all gay bookstores. And have certain books removed from regular bookstores as well. Ever read David Sedaris? Homo porn! Off the shelves, or face the wrath of the government and Mr Comstock, whoops, I mean Ashcroft.

Someone will point out that this is the slippery slope fallacy. But think about Bush and Ashcroft and their personal views. If they could do it, they would do it. Since neither seem overly concerned with the First Amendment for people they disagree with...well, maybe I just worry too much. But then again, how recently was gay sex decriminalized? How many years in prison did that kid in Kansas get for having sex with another boy, when he would have gotten only a few months had it been a girl? Did Alabama prosecute a woman for selling "adult novelties"?

The population may be getting less uptight over time, but our government is getting more puritanical. I worry.

Sodomy laws are still on the books in thirteen states. Texas, where bush last governed, still has sodomy laws that only apply to homosexuals.

Texas is also the state that has made news of the wierd a couple of times recently for it's prosecution of people selling dildos.

(It's an mp3 that plays in the background; wear headphones if you're at the office, with kids, or near people with strong Christian values.)


I imagine Dubya's "War on Porn" will be just as well thought-out and almost as successful as the "War on Drugs."

Let's just hope it doesn't end with so many people in prison.

Pbht. If Dubya honestly wants to start throwing people in jail for pr0n, he better be prepared to turn the entire state of Alaska into one big honkin' prison.
