Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn
Better-living-thru-taxes writes "Senator Tom Carper (D-Del) is calling for a 25% tax on all internet pornograpy. The money is to help police fight online child pornographers. 'Carper says the bill will keep kids away from X-rated material.'"
They could tax Empornium for 100% and it will still be free!
He's just voting to increase his own taxes.
Sex! Minors interested in sex. Minors using someones credit card to pay for porn (ordo minors in the US actually get a credit card legally?) Pedophiles ...
Man, that sounds like just out of the "box of horrors" of contemporary politics. He forgot terrorists, tought...
Screw the FSM - Real geeks believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn
A 25% tax on what the government calls pornography might impact sales. Be afraid, thinkgeek - you and your action shots.
It's about time our elected officials started paying taxes.
and the government's debt was wiped out in 2 months.
OK...
I can do this. I am, after all,

How on earth can someone reliably "verify" the age of a person of the web?
That's easy. Just ask them: a/s/l?
Simple.
Black dudes have cocks that are way too large, and would damage the self esteam of young white boys.
won't someone think of the children??
... you forgot the 75% tax on liberal sites to help fight abortion, democratic presidents, and the evil that is GAY MARRIAGE.

"...although you failed to point out the basis of this article is that a democratic senator is pushing for this..."
Oh, sheesh, thank god... at least it will never pass then.
Cool art gallery, if you're into that sort of thing.
Then we can enact a 25% tax on all food sold online to fight obesity! Next we can enact a 25% tax on gun-friendly sites to fight domestic violence....
Why? Just a 25% tax on porn would bring in so much money that we could do away with income tax, sales tax, property tax, and give every kid a free pony!
There are lots of us atheists who have a very strong sense of morality which has nothing to do with illegality.
Amen to that brother!
It seems odd to have a situation where the IRS decides what is and what isn't pornography.
I think looking at pricewatch.com is pornography.
Imagining buying 8 10KRPM SCSI drives with a decent scsi RAID card... ooooh. that gives me feelings inside that rivals large breasted women and shorn vaginas.
or even looking at what kind of rack servers are available. Beowulf clusters of multi-processor servers with RAM and storage totals calculated in Petabytes.
I'll be back in a minute. gotta get a tissue.

Ewwwwww, coconut...
Combining Democratic taxation with Republican morality into a single bill.
What porn have you seen where women have orgasms from giving blow jobs??? torrent links are fine ;)
Actually, I was just referring to the general moaning, groaning and Vidal Sassoon hair tossing that porn-star women seem compelled to do whenever they're lucky enough to have a dick stuck in their mouth. I mean if you have a monster like that at your disposal, there're places where you could get a heck of a lot more pleasure out of it, you know?

I see even classic Slashdot is now pretty much unusable on dial up anymore.
