Isn't it great that the Family Research Council and the porno industry can come togther on an issue like this.... Politics does make strange bedfellows.

It's a bad idea to block the XXX extension.
The FRC are idiots for fighting it.

its a tough thing to debate. On one hand I am pretty much a civil libertarian but then you really need to sit with a father who has just discovered his pre teen daughter is being "hunted" by some scum who found her on a child's website and has been slowly hunting her.


I think if we saw there was a definite protection against the stalkers it would be okay. If the people want to go there its fine, but the big thing is the ones that start branching out looking for recruits.

The issue is not child molesters it's the proliferation of porn via predatory tactics of some content providers and the persecution of providers who don't engage in said tatics. Consenting Adults should have the ability to access adult content but there are providers who insist on doing things that obviously target and/or expose kids and disinterested people to their content mostly through things like domain and typo squatting.

I'm inclined to think that if you give adult content a place to exist without persecution and restrict it to said extension it mitigates a lot of issues and maybe even solves a few too.

Might be right HPM, I just see to many of the Predators slipping through the Law's hands. As a result stupid things are being classified as crimes (you know the 18 year old Jock who is out with susie freshman (15 or 16) and makes a mistake.


I think there needs to be a real differentiation in classification and punishment. I think after conviction 3 the pedophile should be REMOVED from society. Either permenant Solitary or euthanasia.

The problem comes in that the "wackos on both sides" you have some people who want the restrictions eliminated to allow them better "hunting". Then you get the people who look for any reason to come crying to the Government to PROTECT US. It is a sly way to slowly control our personal responsibility and rights.
