I don't think banning porn will solve anything. It will create a black market of sorts to get that type of product out to people. Prohibition didn't work it just created black market brewers to make alcohol. i don't believe in a nanny state where you have other people telling you what you can and cannot have or watch or wear or even say.
However I think awareness to the dangers would be a good thing. I think the vast majority of people are unaware of the detrimental effects it has on them.
Like smoking it's printed on the box what it can cause and do I remember the PSAs about what cigarettes contain at the end of the day it's a personal choice if someone lights up.
I remember a math professor told me that in his home country of Brazil they actually have pictures of the side effects of smoking such as a blacken lung. A funny side story my professor told me that one day an older man walked in and bought a pack of smokes and it had a man that was impotent due to smoking the older man said he didn't want that one he wanted the ones that gave the black lungs. Haha...
However, I will say this though it is statistically noteworthy that smoking warnings and the awareness of the dangers of smoking has lead to a decline of People smoking. Granted people still smoke but not nearly as much these days.
Prohibition does work. It can work for drugs and alcohol. A few cases where it supposedly failed doesn't make it an absolute truth. In the case of porn, prohibition would make a tremendous difference. Even if it was just light prohibition driving it underground would be huge. We are saturated with porn from the time we are born it's all over television, magazines, the internet, it's everywhere. Porn being forced underground and not on mainstream TV would change lives and many people who otherwise would have been hooked would not. That would put things back closer to the 50s or 1800s much less sex addiction certainly less porn and wanking.
This idea that prohibition can't work that it is governed by some unalterable fate is false. It's a American "freedum" fairy tale, IMO. Having hardcore porn on regular free TV, having children watching it, or a society that doesn't allow porn. Do we assume both society's end up the same?
As for drugs. Americas has them illegal sure, but the media glamorizes drug usage, it is encouraged. Not only are drug dealers cool in the movies and many in society hold them in high esteem, but drug use is encouraged in the movies and we always hear about celebrities doing drugs. The point is it's not real or effective prohibition when they don't allow it, but encourage and push it at the same time.
Some say the CIA is involved in drug trafficking. Now that may just be to other enemy nations to cause destabilization? It would not shock me though as drugs are pushed so heavily by Hollywood Meanwhile drugs being illegal and the ostensible war on drugs allows the government to take away more and more human rights in the supposed war on drugs.
If America invaded Mexico and Columbia and shut down their Cocaine. If they actually shut down Heroin production in Afganistan instead of restarting and cultivating it. If they went after big time drug dealers and executed them if they shut down gangs. And most importantly if hollywood[ which nearly owns the minds of the majority of the people] portrayed drug dealing and usage as something similar to how they portray Nazi Germany. That would be the end of illegal drugs in America for the most part.
Also, another evidence of how they allow drugs is seen in our everyday life. Most of us have been around drugs at some point in our time I think? We can see that the distribution of these drugs is not very clever, and how they do it is common knowledge amongst people. Everyone knows what the drug dealers are doing and how it's done. It would be the simplest thing to shut it down, yet the cops turn a blind eye to it and allow it to happen.
corrupt policing is no joke and the penalty for it should be such that it is discouraged from happening again, but we have the opposite right now with cops getting passes.
There has been censorship in the past it worked. All this porn addiction and wanking addiction started when they started pumping out porn obviously. The idea that going back to the old censorship laws won't work is frankly Brainwashing!
I apologise for the rant about drugs as it really doesn't apply to pornography.
Pornstars are celebrities now and porn is advertised all over the place. [ porn to me is lude pictures it doesn't have to be a movie] It's an attack on society.
Just like you have been brainwashed to think that outlawing porn will make more porn addicts [ it sure as hell won't for future generations, potentially they might not even know what it is] your brain gets influenced by all the smut you are surrounded by.
