Ohio Net Censorship Law Struck Down
rfc1394 writes "C|Net reports that a federal judge has struck down as unconstitutional a portion of an Ohio statute which attempted to prevent minors from seeing material which would be 'harmful' to them, but was so overbroad that it would have covered a considerable amount of material which is legal for adults to view. Basically, if a website operator had reason to believe the material they were showing was visible to minors, and if the material was considered to be harmful to them, they would be in violation of the law. Since about 1/6 of the users of the Internet are minors, it's trivial to argue that anyone running a website would be aware that the material they have is visible to minors even if they had no intention of doing so."
Women only resort to pornography because of the amount of discrimination they still face in the job market today. Women should be encouraged to avoid giving in to low lifes that run these sites and instead seek higher education.
The solution is obviously to get rid of all the children.
No, men resort to porn because they are too lazy or socially inept to find a woman to interact with. Oh, wait, you meant starring in porn . . .
It may look like I'm doing nothing, but I'm actively waiting for my problems to go away.

TFS gives a tantalising link to material "which is legal for adults to view", imagine my disappointment when the link turned out to go to a news article instead.
Given the stories of bad parenting that hit the news on a regular basis, I think it's perfectly reasonable to say that my regime would confiscate children at birth and raise them in Clean Government Facilities. There they will have the benefit of a uniformly nurturing environment, a standard educational system and they will be taught from a very early age that their supreme leader (Me) is their friend and only cares for their well being. In return, society as a whole will never again have to bear the burden of a baby in a movie theater or a five star restaurant, parents will have all the free time that parents today mourn losing and when those kids grow up there will be far fewer... defective... members of society. I realize that a number of readers here are... defective... but take heart! You can still be a productive member of society under my regime and your children need not turn into the kind of adult that you are!
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
I absolutely agree. Only the really hot ones.
