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.'"
Racist...
This is because sex outside of marriage, in the bible, is basically consided 'theft by conversion', thether she's consenting or not. (Because she's her father's property.)
OTOH, divorce is condemned. Mainly because it leaves a worthless woman flapping around loose, which is fairly cruel to her.
Ah, the morality we learn from the Good Book.
If corporations are people, aren't stockholders guilty of slavery?
>>> Which you were pretty much stood with how much money you made -- if you are rich or expect to be rich, vote republican. If you are poor, liberal, or know you aren't going to be rich, vote dem.
...
I hear that a lot, but I have a hard time reconciling it with the fact that the richest people in America overwhelmingly contributed to Kerry instead of Bush, who got a lot of his support from the working class
>>> So long story short, is, if you believe in true republican ideals, right now you need to vote democrat.
Or more accurately, the Libertarian Party or the Constitution Party.

IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!! Why the HELL! are you people still argueing about who's responsible for this bill? Did anybody actually READ what the bill was about? It wasn't censorship it was a tax to help the government fight CHILD pornography. You know that act where small children are molested on camera, abused, exploited by nasty old men.
I'm sure it can be tricky business to weed out who is using underage models and who isn't, especially with children becoming more mature at younger ages, so it makes reasonable sense, that if the government has to spend money reviewing your business, your industry will pay the tab.
As to this somehow reducing children going to XXX sites, I'm not entirely sure how this is supposed to help, but then again thanks to slashdot's "throw it out and see what they say" policy with regarding to editing news stories, I may never know the rationale behind it reducing children visiting XXX sites as well. But even if it doesn't do that, it's not the GOAL of the bill! He just listed it as a possible side effect.
