Why Are Adult Sites Still Legal in the USA?

AI Thread Summary
Adult sites remain legal in the USA primarily due to the First Amendment, which protects freedom of expression as long as all participants are consenting adults. The government does not endorse pornography but prioritizes individual freedom over moral judgments. While it is illegal for minors to access such content, enforcing restrictions is challenging due to the internet's anonymity. Many argue that personal responsibility and parental guidance are essential in managing children's exposure to pornography. Ultimately, the debate reflects differing views on morality and freedom in a democratic society.

For someone who doesn't like porn sites, you sure are knowledgeable of the content!
Indeed ! What Saint is talking about here is horrible. He even looks frustrated by watching to much porn. Weird...

I find it infuriating that you start a thread, and then refuse to participate in the discussion. Instead, you periodically spew irrelevant rhetoric.
Great point. I did not dare mention that, but I totally agree with Gokul.

Do you call this Freedom?[/size]
You are sick. You are exercising your freedom to expose us all to this crap. You are forcing us to view it. You are exercising a freedom that we did not seek out.

You are the sick person who sought out this stuff. You are the sick mind that collected this stuff. You are the sicko who posted it on this forum.

You then have the gall to ask us if you are exercising your freedom in posting all of this on a forum where it does not belong.

If you are kicked off of this forum, then you can perhaps claim that you are correct. If you find that you do indeed have the freedom to be so perverted on this forum, then you have no right to complain about the freedom of others to post this stuff on web sites where only sickos like yourself can find it, and only when they voluntarily look for it.

The internet is flooded with innumerable porn sites that can contaminate the minds of youngster (<18 years old).
They are very immoral and NASTY, the pictures of gay sex, anal sex, oral sex, incest and so on are so terrible. And most of the porn sites are from USA.

Does this tell me USA government agrees with these porn-culture?
Is it an immoral country?

Why do you allow these nasty things to be legal? What can we do to BAN it?
In the United States its not that they support what they do, but the important thing is they have the right to do it, when you start limiting this kind of stuff u reduce the rights of the people and increase the power of the government.

Besides a good porn once in awhile is quite funny,

You [not so] secretly love and crave this kind of material, don't you? :zzz:
Anyway, could you PM the links to some of these sites to me? Thanks. :biggrin:

I don't even understand why Saint has not noticed that his preaching is useless.

Perhaps it is this very feeling that she does not like, and she considers it immoral for causing her to feel out of control. She sure has invested a lot of time in this field that she considers so immoral.

Saint is male. According to previous posts, he is married and has several children, and ironically, has a mistress. Or at least he used to brag about having one. I'll have to assume now that he was kidding at the time - in light of this moral makeover he has undergone.

A couple of people have said that Saint is male. How do you know? Oh, you say that he said so in previous posts. I was only guessing on the basis of the the childish girly picture used as an icon under the name Saint.

I wonder if what you post is true. If so, Saint would quite a hypocrit. Not that that is very rare for people who spout this type of preaching. "Do what I think I should be doing, now what I am actually doing." We have all see this before.

Saint is indeed male. He was also joking about a mistress. He was showing were his little son gets his mischievousness from.

First time when i saw nude woman, i was very excited, after sometime, i was not excited anymore.

Oh, so I see, you think porn is immoral, but you are going right ahead and viewing it anyway.

The same could be said for 50 years of marriage, but you aren't saying that's immoral. Perhaps the problem is not with porn? Have you consulted a doctor about why you fail to become excited anymore? There are a number of treatments for that nowadays, nothing to be ashamed of.

Correct. He is making generalizations about all men in the world based on his own perverted experience. He clearly like to view porn, and he posts it on this forum to share it with everyone, so his claim that it is immoral is shallow. Perhaps he needs a shrink.

There is no qualified authority on morality. No one can say what is and what is not moral.

Judges are pretty close.

Whether you want to admit it or not, there are basic morals that society is based upon.

It is the interpretation of the US Constitution. Porn is protected by the First Amendment. And I am sure glad it is, though I never read it.

Because the US Amendment is so great, isn't it? Gotta' love that 2nd one! Right for civilians to own weapons of death!

What is preventing the FBI or whoever from turning these sites off? Is it a technical impossibility?

People are. The people that can cause protests, accuse the Government of taking away their freedom etc.

If the laws were a lot stricter, or even drastically strict (long jail time, huge fines are just some quick examples), you can bet that these sites will diseappear.

This thread is pretty humorous, people debating the intentions of a 2,000 year old mythological creature.

I hope you realize that the Bible is considered one of the oldest history books. Though we realize that there is much debate about this between historians (chronological mistakes), it isn't completely a myth . You shouldn't pass it off as such, as you're spreading your beliefs publicly just like religious people do. The Old Testament and Hebrew scripts were even written before the birth of Jesus. It's unfair to call a thousand year old book as just an old myth.

Using bold script does not lend weight to a statement, merely to the annoyance of those reading it.

Actually, it's suppose to. Kind of like using an exclamation mark! At least on the internet.


I mean calling the French "frogs" n stuff?

That would make the internet a lot more enjoyable. Unmoderated sites like ESPN have loads of racists.

Period. To you, no support is necessary for this fundamental truth, I suppose.

I think that I quite agree with you as to my lack of appreciation for the current interpretation of the second amendment. However, as distateful as it is to me, I certainly would not want to replace it with the subjective "moraliity" of certain religious people.

You can make that bet. I would take it. I think that you would lose big.

This begs the question, by whom? Certainly, many people so consider it. Many others consider it literature, or a myth. What Christians believe in this context is not necessarily relevant to those who are not Christians.

Though we realize that there is much debate about this between historians (chronological mistakes), it isn't completely a myth .
Personally, I agree. I do not think that the Bible is completely a myth.

You shouldn't pass it off as such, as you're spreading your beliefs publicly just like religious people do.
You are accusing him of behaving as religious people do? That is quite an accusation. He is certainly right to hold his views, and to make them public, just as you are now.

The Old Testament and Hebrew scripts were even written before the birth of Jesus. It's unfair to call a thousand year old book as just an old myth.
Unfair to whom? Why? Can I ask you a question? Do you consider it unfair to call the so-called Greek myths as myths? There is also some truth in them as well, is there not?

Monique in "Is prostitution immoral?":

It's a social science and there are definitely moral rules we all have to follow: they are written in the letter of the law

I certainly would not want to replace it with the subjective "moraliity" of certain religious people.

You do realize that a lot of politicians are religious? Especially during the days when the Amendment was written. Jefferson even compiled a collection of passages from the New Testament.

That is quite an accusation. He is certainly right to hold his views, and to make them public, just as you are now.

Unlike him, I did not completely disregard other people's beliefs and religions - huge difference.

Unfair to whom? Why? Can I ask you a question? Do you consider it unfair to call the so-called Greek myths as myths? There is also some truth in them as well, is there not?

I do believe it is unfair to call religious Greek literature such as The Iliad as nothing but a myth.

Some ancient Greeks believe that the Trojan War took place between the 13th/12th Century BCE and that Troy was in Turkey. Archeologists such as Heinrich Schliemann certainly believed that Troy existed and that it wasn't simply a myth.

However, there is more proof to the Christian bibles than The Iliad. There is at least proof that the places Jesus walked before he died existed. Of course, The Iliad was a set of epic poems written during 850BCE.

I personaly have nothing against porn. "Porn" aka erotic images have been in existaince for hundres of years, altought the have never have been as wide spread as they are now. Earlier this summer i was in spain on vacation and went to the museum de erotica, which has a large collection of erotic images throught the ages-culutures.

Many people claim the porn in determatle to kids (obviously if their forced into it, it is) But how does veiwing porn hurt them?

(Sorry if this sounds biased) But why does "God" considered porn/sexuality to be a bad thing.
