    Morons, all of them. You’re not getting that genie back in the bottle.

    I grew up pre-internet and still found plenty of porn, as did the hypocrites making these laws.

      There was some way to either steal a “dirty” magazine, buy one from an older teenager, or check out the one you found at your friend’s house that his dad had in a drawer somewhere.

      If all else failed, there was always the Sears catalog.

      Pitching your desire to block pornography against the collective sex drives of the whole populace is a recipe for you losing and look stupid doing it.

        I mean there is a difference between the good old magazines and having access to super hardcore stuff for a 9yo… But generally I agree.

          Where is the line? I’m not advocating for anarchy and having no lines, I’m just generally curious where people who make distinctions in a gray area draw that line, be it censorship, what kinds of food to eat, social etiquette, etc.

          Also, “I don’t know” is perfectly acceptable.
