If you confused wanna-be Right Wingers hate Liberals, and the alleged "Liberal Media" so much,...Then why do you supposed "Republican Conservatives", obsessed with protecting "" family values", ...hang out on an Adult Messageboard all day and night looking at Porn ?...unless you are a hypocrite, a liar, or both....

More importantly, why would you align yourself with a candidate, and party, where part of their agenda is to limit and/or destroy the Adult Entertainment Industry?!?!?!

What federal obscenity laws are we all talking about here? As far as Mit having mandatory filters on computers then that is just insane. Parents can do this and monitor their kids internet actions.

Federal obscenity laws are contained in 18 U.S.C. Sections 1460-1470. http://www.moralityinmedia.org/full_article.php?article_no=430, http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1462

I agree with you regarding the computer filters...what really worries me even more, though, is that the mandatory parental controls may be just the tip of the ice-berg...All three top Republican presidential candidates, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum, have "pledged that if elected, they will revive intensive federal prosecutorial efforts to enforce the nation's obscenity laws". http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/01/gop-candidates-promise-revive-war-porn There are aleady sufficient laws on the books to effectively end pornography, totally, if the subjective "community standards test" is strictly interpreted and enforced by a Conservative Republican Regime.

Some of the anti-porn rhetoric was momentarily toned down for awhile because Republicans saw it's effects on the Santorum presidential campaign...However, now the pressure on Romney, as the Republican presidential nominee, from the religious Right, is steadily increasing.http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/4970819244.html There's no telling what he would do if he were to actually get elected...It is a seriously scary thought to me.

Porn is to Romney what guns are to Obama. Something to bring up in speeches and something that nothing substantial will happen. Of course these douche-nozzles are going to talk about porn. Look at the sad losers who show up to cheer for them.

I really wouldn't lose any sleep over this. Or if you do, spend your added hours dowloading in preparation for the PORNPOCALYPSE. Cue dramatic music.

The extremist Religious Right has taken over the Republican Party, and they are very, very serious...Both Romney and Santorum have aligned themselves with the Religious Right, and their agenda regarding obscenity laws is far more than just empty rhetoric..don't take our access to porn and and adult materials for granted because it can be taken away overnight.

I don't know what laws these people wast to enforce. The federal laws written in 1934 were good for their time. Let's face it, every minute spent without porn could be used in more productive ways. Print, radio, television, movies. All of these things could be controlled by the government. Fine. I know that Lucy and Rickey sleeping in separate beds was stupid but for the time that was okay. No harm done.

Times changed and the laws were pushed because all media is a canvas for art. The human body had been displayed in paintings and sculpture for hundreds of years. Books of romantic content too. The 1934 law was flawed from the beginning since Rubanesque paintings are obscene and illegal by the 1934 federal standards. When community standards started to come into play, that changed the picture. My little town can now define obscenity. the feds stay out. Kiddy porn and selling to minors was still a crime and still is. But now that the other material had been determined as a form of art then adults purchasing art is not a crime. So to say that magazines and movies have a right to produce art in socially acceptable and artistic forms.

Enter the home video era. If I make a video and my friends want to make home videos and exchange them, the law can't stop us. Just the same as if I want them to watch me do this live. No law is broken. Write a story (however lame or badly acted it is} it is now art. I can sell it now abiding to community standards. Locals determine the law and I have to abide by them. That's fine too. I can always move to someplace else that I can do this That's my choice.

Enter the Internet age. How much can the federal government do to control the flow of information? Ask China. They do a pretty good job of it. Do we as a free society want to engage in the free flowing of information? I don't know. Bomb building, threats to the public safety, treason, money transactions. Sure I think that these should and could me MONITORED. That's as much as I want the government to do. I don't want them looking into everyone's movie downloads and trips to Target. That is a waste of time and my tax dollars to pay for that.

As far as porn goes, I still don't want kids to have access to it. The government can control the sales of it at the brick and mortar level but not on the Internet. The adults have the responsibility at the home level. Sure I consume porn. I am an adult. You consume porn. You are an adult. I don't want my kid or your kid consuming porn till they are adults.

Monitoring all Movie Downloads and Internet Activity in general is exactly what is being planned to commence as early as July by the major ISP's in co-ordination with government officials. http://www.digitaltrends.com/web/major-isps-turn-into-copyright-police-by-july-says-riaa/ http://www.digitaltrends.com/opinio...ret-back-room-dealings-says-mpaas-chris-dodd/

And ironically, intense pressure is being put on President Obama by the Porn and Entertainment Industries to compromise our Right To Privacy because they feel they are losing profits due to copyright infringement.

Therein is where I see the confusion... in that Sex workers and Actors, basically fringe groups, who I would think would be liberal and for a FREE AND OPEN INTERNET, are, instead, willing to compromise their Constitutional Rights to Privacy, merely for the pursuit of a few more dollars.

Especially as it relates to The Adult Industry...alot of these people fancy themselves to be Republican...when The eradication of Porn is part of the Conservative Religious Extremist Republican agenda...

So now we potentially have "Big Brother" monitoring all of our internet activities...and if a Repubican gets into office...We'll have, potentially, no porn... AND constant Internet surveillance .

 

[bobjustbob]

No, I don't agree with this. The ISP has an agreement with us of how they share their information. Any changes need to be confirmed with the individuals using the service, Let us opt out. Some I don't caring sharing information with. others I don't. It could be with my brother or Walmart or the government. I don't care. Just because I use the Internet doesn't mean that everything I say needs to be traced. Monitor it? Okay. If I am a threat to people that should me monitored. If not then it is private.

Facebook shares information and data on its users all the time - user agreements be damned. It's how they make money. It's a voluntary and "free" service. Which makes it all the more amusing that Facebook users never seem to wonder how the service could be free, yet Suckerborg is worth a few billion $.

If elected, what I expect Romney to do is relaunch Bush's Obscenity Task Force. The religious right is really wound up that Obama buried them in a broom closet in the basement of the DoJ - and he's going to need to stay in good with the bible thumpers, lest he become a Mormon version of Nicky Sarkozy in 2016.

Much like Ed Meese did for Reagan, I think a Prez. Romney would select an AG who is a "man of faith, piety and goodness"... who will selectively prosecute them low-life, fornicatin' sinners who watch filth!!!
