Yes lethal, you obviously haven't heard of the hard effects of people. People trying to kill their wives, child molesters, serial killers. All of them are heavily influenced by porn. Porn is more addictive then cocaine.
I think that the fundamental difference of opinion is that you believe the supreme court can create legislation through their decisions. Does freedom of speech give you the right to trick people into looking at your pornographic website?
Utah is very wise in actually doing something to fight against the deceptive tactics of those who care nothing about you but just want your money. These people are predators that are sneaking their lethal product past everything defense the people have tried. You have no idea what is at stake.
If the state says anything is bad or we don't want this in our community automatically make them the taliban?
I live in near Greenwich CT where the average house sold last year was $2 mil. I hesitate buying a house in this area, if I ever get enough money, because I imagine housing prices will fall tremendously if the stock market has and problems.
I had a friend who had a computer stolen. Everytime it connected it would log into MSN IM and through the help of some friends at Microsoft were able to recover the computer and arrest the bad guy.
The US advantage is freedom of thought and system of education. It has been my experience that Americans are much more likely to think "out of the box" and question existing ideas.
We may not be able to rattle off thousands of math equations but we can modify old ones and create new ones better then any other nation.
Life isn't a level playing field. I got my homework done relatively quickly while other spend 3 or 4 times as long as I took. Does this mean that I should be penalized just because I am smart? But I would consider myself a failure if I got bad grades.
Those people learned how to work really hard at something which can be of great benefit to them.
The only person you can compare yourself against is yourself.
Life isn't about what you have but what you do with what you have.
When I was in the Philippines I was told that if you lived on the beginning of the street your tv would burn out a lot quicker but if you were at the end of the street your lights would go out when everybody's favorite tv show came on.
Gay repression is a matter of opinion and students should not be forced to agree with it. Abstinence is really the only safe way in many people's opinions, including my own. Shouldn't that have more of a focus? Handing out condoms encourages children to have sex pretending it is "safe". Is it the job of the school to encourage such behavior?
We all have our own opinions but who has the right to judge what my children are taught and exposed to while they are in public education? Isn't this still my right? I will not let my child be taught the benefits of oral sex just as I will not let my child be taught the benefits of drug use from a dealer.
If my children have questions about things then I encourage them to come and talk to me about it. I am not squemish about these things but there is are proper times and levels as to when this information should be presented.
The first amendment only goes so far. I don't believe it gives us the right to force others to listen to our opinion. It does not protect all speech at all times and all places. It is not to let the minority oppress the majority with their opinions. Instead it is to allow the minority to speak up and let them be heard by those who will listen.
Isn't the real question who funds the groups that are trying to push homosexuality and sex? I know the ACLU and other such groups are bought and paid for by the pornography industry. Since we love to accuse politicians about strongly having the agenda of its supporters that it would be fair to say who these people really work for? Homosexuals make much better customers and it is all really about the money for these guys.
I am one of those annoying parents who seeks to get things "banned" from schools.
My problem is when authority figures such as teachers seek to throw use their version of "truth" as the only truth. People scream for you to have an open mind because you do not agree with them. There is a fine line between discussion and promotion.
Is it right for a high school class to discuss different ways to kill people without being caught or for a computer class to teach how to break into corporate systems and just tell that there only consequences are minimal if you do it right.
Unfortunately this is how sex education is now. They tell you that all you need to do is where a condom and you will be OK. That is their version of the truth but it stronly differs from many beliefs. What place does a "discussion" of oral sex have in high school? My wife had a high school teacher that was seemingly a pervert and liked to talk about such things.
Now the whole homosexual agenda is being promoted. At the high school near me the school promotes a day of silence for gay repression. If you don't participate then you are mocked as a homophobe and intolerant.
First Amendment only when convenient.
Do you see a major problem? I do and I will do everything within my power to fight it and encourage others to help me.
My heart goes out to those affected but it will only get worse. I looked at the list of major quakes since 1900 and it seemed that almost half were in the last 10 years. Do you think that maybe the Bible is right? What can we do to help those who are affected? What can we do to prepare for ourselves for such events? 72 hour kits are a great way to start.
Pornography changes your brain also. It is highly addictive and frequent viewing can actually somewhat destroy your brain. I am not sure on all of the science but the pornographers want your money. It is as simple as that. They know how to get it and they will do whatever it takes.
Their tactics remind me of the cigarette industry. Get them as young as you can and get them as addicted as you can. Hence they use cartoon imagery, hand out free cigarettes in third world countries, and raise nicotine levels.
The pornography industry has similar tactics but they just do a better job at hiding them. Groups like the ACLU have been bought and paid for. If you understand who these people really are and what they really want, it would terrify you and I doubt that you would take their side. Pornography is a plague and I wish you to stay away from it and encourage those around you to do the same.
How much money would it some have to pay you to do 9 years in jail? Then how long would it be for you were willing to give all of the money back for your freedom?
Only email provider based filters really work at stopping spam because people who use individual filters wouldn't buy stuff anyway.
In my personal opinion the slippery slope arguemnt is nonsense. Your arguement is one of the dumbest that I have heard for a while.
If then ban murder
then they will ban assault
and then they will ban name calling
and then they will ban looking bad at people
and then they will ban thinking bad thoughts
The slippery slope is just a bunch of nonsense. It attempts to predict the future and assign people motives. Now in some cases you can accurately predict peoples motives such as the movie and porn industry want to do whatever it takes to make money at any cost to the consumer just as the cigarette and alcohol companies do. Do people have a choice? Maybe, these companies don't want you to have one. They just want your money.
What do you mean by "consenting"? Suicide is "consenting" but it is a decision made when your deck isn't full. How about being in a porn video? How can you ensure that the decision is informed and isn't made under duress? There are whole other sides to the everybody look at porn arguement. It destroys people but do you care?
Here is something interesting. The LDS Church is now distributing Open Office for use on machines at local meetinghouses. This is very interesting because they are very very careful at which software they use.
I consider myself to be quite conservative but I am opposed to this forced solution. I believe that something should be done but there is a better way to do it. The problem is that people consider pornography to be different things. My wife would probably get upset if I was looking at Victorias Secret but for her it could be considered OK.
I propose that an open source bayesian type filter be created. This way people can block the types of things they don't like to see.
I would like to hear peoples opinion on this.
I heard a story about a guy in Idaho who called the police to report that someone was outside tryig to break into his house. The police said they would send someone over. 5 minutes later noone had arrived so he called again. 5 minutes later still noone had arrived and so he called and told the police that he had shot the intruder and several cars were there almost immediately and arrested the burglar.
Just try not to do dumb things. The decisions you make now will affect you for the rest of your life. I consider #1 to be a really dumb thing because it will mess you up. You have the obvious STDs and Pregnancy but you also have the less obvious emotional issues. I have seen too many people messed up that way. I am glad I waited and now I have a wonderful wife and three wonderful kids.
Just remember that now is the time to become who you want to be for the rest of your life. You will be much happier if you do.
It seems to me that the real problem is that the record industry is losing money because they are producing overpriced junk. The people in charge don't want to be blamed so they point the finger at p2p and digital recording off of these radio streams. If they can keep on blaming other people for their own failures then they think they have more job security.
They say that the problem is what could be done with this software instead of its intended use. I wonder if this could be a good arguement to take away our right to bear arms.

It isn't the FCC who regulates the internet. Especially content from other countries.
Utah is doing everything they can to fight pornography. Most people there believe it is more dangerous and addictive than cocaine.
There are already several ISPs in Utah that filter the content pretty effectively.
I am a firm believer that filtering and easy to read logs are much more effective than just filtering.
I had a friend who had a computer stolen. Everytime it connected it would log into MSN IM and through the help of some friends at Microsoft were able to recover the computer and arrest the bad guy.

From my perspective isn't this almost like being jobless?
I know people who sit around all day doing nothing but playing games and for various reasons don't have a job.
If this we would have people who sit around all day doing nothing but playing games and make a couple bucks literally.
Exploiting people for so you can pretend to be powerful seems like a pretty poor way to live.

Of course they want to have you addicted on two ends so they can milk lots of money out of you. That is all these guys care about.
