On a serious note, taking away something due to 'morals' and 'beliefs' when it is doing no real harm is just f****g ridiculous.
Plus is there not an argument to say that this would increase sex crimes? Certain people that currently have 'needs' met by porn would no longer be able to get it easily.... Are they not then more likely to go out and fulfill and hard fantasies in other ways.

Based on the comments, its easy to tell who grew up in a house where sex was considered bad, nasty, smut and perverse. Likewise, you can also tell based on the comments who was raised in a house where sex was looked at in a positive light.

The porn industries constitutes a billion + dollars. It is a large tier industry that supports a large amount of people. Porn is what it is. It is sex on film. You can say what you want about it based on your thoughts and feelings but in the end it is sex on film.

It is not going away. No POTUS will be able to regulate it or dispose of it.

I can't stand the mid-west bible thumping moral majority who think they are all going to save our souls.

It feels like a stunt to see how the people would react to such absurdness, from a politician nonetheless.

...but I do feel the sudden urge to make loads of backups of the 'collection'

Maybe I can trade them one day for Carbon credits or some equally ridiculous currency.
Oh my, if porn became illegal, I could potentially become uber wealthy from my forward thinking prowess!!

Yup~ Time to make some backups...some...'hard' backups
hyuk hyuk hyuk

.......friends, please don't tell my wife ...
snitches get stitches!!

Ban pornography? What an amusing idea.

Hm, let's see... What happens when you criminalize anything?

Oh, yes, that's right - you put more power into the hands of criminals and make the problem even worse than it was before. (That's not to say I think there's a problem with pornography.)

Swell idea, guys! I'm sure your popularity ratings just went through the roof!

it would kill the economy as people would cut back on internet usage since they wouldnt need as fast or as much monthly bandwidth allowance then theres how to define porn as theres a fetish for nearly everything so nearly everything could be classed as porn technically

if they do make it legal all someone needs to do is declare that viewing politicians is a fetish so to stop people having those thoughts you'd have to ban politicians...oh the joy

No! Not the porn!

Well it was the government who made it legal in the first place to dumb us down and sexualise everything.
Hence why we have so many problems these days with sex,unwanted children and disease.

lmao u guys in america have nutjobs running your country

and the fact that 3 anti-gay religious wackos are getting all these votes doesnt scare some people?
they could be compared to presidential hopefuls from the middle east lmao

The 3 of them are only playing to the conservatives, whom believed in only hypocrisy - white in front but stained dark inside where they thought no is watching. That's the true conservatives for you. It had been such for centuries since civilisation began.

I am all for a END to the porn industry. It belittles and demean womanhood, espacially, when most them had been forced or enticed unconscionably into it. We all came from women, without them, none of us would exists. Womanhood do deserves and must be respected.

But we must be realistic. We humans need money to live, and often, money calls the shot. Many humans - male or female would NEVER have sought to sell the bodies if they don't have to. It is only the fastest way to earn a few bucks than to starve on the streets. Not many are that strong in face of adversity of life.

Thus, the root of this social problem lays not in just banning porn, but a true and pragmatic action plan to boost the economy, give opportunities for all, so that they may not be forced or enticed into vices.

But that's not what the 3 bas*ards are doing. Banning porn is an easy escape and gain votes, but had they resolve the root of the problem? None. Only further posturing to gain hypocratic votes. It is NOT porn that they should be targetting, but the economy.

Thailand had long been known as a vice capital. But today, the change had began. Legislations to protect minority ages to prevent them from being sold. Wealth distributed. Trainning courses in economic jobs began. It may be slow, but change is on the horizon, and Thailand will lead the way.

It is sad to see the state of women in China with wealth gap too far. But change must come.

As for the western world, there is absolutely no reason for porn to NOT be eradicated, or at least minimise to only those whom are not forced or with opportunities in life to choose. The western world is fully educated to CREATE opportunities, but only that....the leaders and the conservatives are full of hypocrisy BS. They dont know how those women suffered, nor want to know to alleviate their sufferings. Bas*ards! Bas*tards! All three of them!

I'll say one thing, and that is that if porn were made illegal, the number of divorces in this country would skyrocket, due to infidelity.

Men are visual. They fantasize. It's part of their genetic makeup. Like it or not, access to porn is what keeps many men, and women as well from infidelity. Porn is an outlet for many, men and women, which keeps them from looking elsewhere, and therefor keeping marriages intact.

More than 50% of married couples have admitted to infidelity from one partner, whether that partner knows or not. Multiple surveys show this. And that is with access to porn. Sorry, I wish it were different, but no porn means more cheating. It means instead of living out your fantasies, which every blood pumping male has, whether they admit it or not, in front of your tv or computer or a magazine, you'll instead see more men seeking to live out those same fantasies with another human in real life.

The ugly truth. You can criticize men all you like about that, but it's never changed since the dawn of man. Men have always fantasized about other women. Many learn to ignore it, compartmentalize it, or get by with the assistance of porn, and stay faithful to their spouse. But more men, and women, will stray without the visual aid pornography provides. Sexuality is at the basis of every human mind.
