Homes didn’t have access to high-speed internet back then and they didn’t have phones capable filming and distributing pornographic videos. Even if the US government started a project similar to the Great Firewall of China, bypassing the block would be relatively easy.
Quite right.
 
First you said only Christians regulated sex.
No, my friend this is not what I said, not by a long shot. Christianity is the only religion which considers sex as dirty and sinful - if practised outside a marriage, and even within a marriage if it is aimed only at pleasure. Societies in general experimented with all sorts of arrangements.
Pray tell, is that better or worse than moral regulation?
Nothing is worse than that. I wonder if you talk about the brainwashing of the poor teenagers, who are torn between the prefectly natural outlet of their raging hormones (masturbation) and the teaching that they are in “mortal sin”. I feel horrified looking at the plethora of threads where the main theme is that the poster suffers from guilt, due to the fact that their natural behavior is deemd a lethal, mortal offense against God. Here is a task for you: find those Biblical verses where God says something against “masturbation”…
 
Susan Brownmiller, uber-feminist, born on anti-abortion feminist Susan B. Anthony’s birthday, represents the last anti-porn vestige. Brownmiller and her anti-rape, anti-porn ilk were obliterated by Communist-trained Gloria Steinem in the commie classic take-over move. Feminism was co-opted. Real feminists were marginalized as the demoniacs emplaced their leaders like Bill Clinton who, like Steinem, had his brains washed in Communist-controlled Russia. And Russia is God’s chosen instrument of chastisement whose errors lead to the “annihilation” of nations per Our Lady of the Rosary at Fatima.

The propaganda and media blitz was on. I mention this to note that phony Femi-NAZI’s, funded as MS Magazine is by the sex trade like the Playboy Foundation and Planned Parenthood (which started life as the “Negro Project” aiming to erase Africans), has nothing to do with feminism, that seeks to highly regulate porn within constitutional parameters but regulate none the less. Rape-slayer porn would be outa here. God bless the Susan B. Anthony Project and all who uphold “life and blessing” as did Susan B. Anthony herself in outlawing abortion. And God bless Susan Brownmiller and may He unite seemingly disparate interests of real feminists and Catholics. May God grant us discernment so “we won’t be fooled again.”

That is not what I meant. I asked “by what right” was it regulated.
 
By the way, what do you want with a bunch of “unnatural” Biblical passages? Don’t tell me you believe them??
Just curious if you have some actual support for your views (against masturbation). Even if one does not believe of the Bible coming from divine origin, it serves as the foundation of the teachings of Christians. Did God himself speak out against this act? Or is it declared “sinful” by some very fallible human beings?

Honestly I did not know that there is some feminist Brownmiller until this post. To be more precise I don’t really undertand what a feminist is. I watch a holywood movie-- I can’t remember the title exactly, but I think it was “The Ex-wife Club”-- the story was about three women (or was it four?) devorced but they manage to avenge their husbands for the way they were treated, and these wives later on managed to solve their issues and to be independent and even started an ex-wive club. In this movie, i remember they went to a “feminist club” to watch male-strippers. In the club were-- I call them-- “disappointed women” shouting and cheering to the male strippers.

I don’t think that porn restriction belong to feminists.

It’s not wise to relate this issue to feminist groups as if only feminists concern about this issue. Just because some feminists happen to talk about the same topic, it doesn’t mean that they are the only ones believe in porn restriction. In fact, feminist sometime are being portrayed as women who-- out of their dismay-- behave as if they are “happy” as they adopt sexually aggressive behavior similar to men’s sexuality. I wouldn’t be surprised that some women who pose for some porn mags claim feminism as they were doing the poses.

I really think that **porn restriction is more related to parenting and media regulation. This issue belongs to family, concerned educatiors, concerned public, children protection. **

Various groups may have similar voices regarding this because this issue belong to many concerned people from various backgrounds. To relate such an important and sincere issue to some interest groups will only create unecessary negative connotation in the public opinion towards the issue because of the connotation of the groups.
 
Hey, this is just a minor housekeeping note.

I noticed that some of the comments have messed up quotes, with the quoted text being attributed to the wrong person. The reason for this is because of an editing error in an earlier post: a [noparse]
tag was used without its complementary
tag[/noparse]. Those tags work together, and if not used in a complementary pair, it throws off the forum software.

The result of not using a pair of complementary quote tags is that you will see a post in which [noparse]
[/noparse] actually appears in the published text. Normally, these tags should be invisible when posted to the forums, so if you see them, you know there is an error which will require some editing.

If someone quotes from a comment with a published quote tag, it will throw off the forum software to the degree that the quoted text is often assigned to the person to whom the quote is responding to. The thing to do, if you post a comment and see a quote tag published, is to immediately edit your comment to remove the extra quote tag.

BTW, I can use [noparse]
[/noparse] tags and get them to appear in print without affecting subsequent quotes because I surround them with the “noparse” tags, which turns off the forum software parsing.
 
Susan B. Anthony is a feminist. Gloria Steinem, with all the egregious errors perpetrated in the name of what is called “second wave feminism” is a Communist, one trained in Russia, and that directly relates to Our Lady of the Rosary’s Fatima prophecy. And just like the Democratic Party, with William Jefferson Clinton having been similarly trained in Soviet Russia, there has been a highjacking. This means we have to unplug the propaganda-fueled juggernaut of mistaken opposition by insisting that leaders with true principles be followed. Just as Republicans, the party of Lincoln that supported the Civil Rights Act, has been falsely cast as racist, we must draw fair-minded people out of mindless bigotry and towards what is just. I don’t have to “convert” college students when I can just show them Susan Brownmiller’s writings against pornography, written during the free-speech heyday. Pick the low hanging fruit because it’s going to be a tough go without every ally we can muster. Those activists were–and will be–on our side if we don’t reject them out of hand. Please pray for them if you consider them the enemy. I say lift up the big tent. Do you have any idea who you are fighting? The FBI didn’t even keep crime statistics on children under 12 who were raped. The Bishops are buddying up to pro-abortion Democrats in their lay committee on clerical sex abuse. This is entrenched evil. Enable the vocal leaders in every quarter to speak out.
 
Speaking of the FBI, ask John Walsh, whose son was kidnapped, raped and murdered, how many years, decades really, it took to get child kidnapping on the front burner and they are still uncooperative. Why no national sex offender registry? Why no Federal Marshals to track registered sex offenders who refuse to notify authorities of their whereabouts? This is the tenor of the perverted government.

And if you are truly against pornography, consider this. President Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno filed a friends-of-court brief to argue in favor of a man who liked to take pictures of children at playgrounds lifting up skirts or dropping pants as children are wont to do. Read up on the Franklin Savings & Loan case where a young man was given a court ordered settlement as one of many corn-fed, mid-western children shuttled to Washington, D.C. for sex with politicos. Read about all the investigators who died mysterious deaths looking into that one. Got it? Ask John Walsh about Washington. Pray and work for allies, dear friend.
 
I can see that you are quite “high spirited” regarding anti-prono. This is the one good thing I see from your posts. Thankyou Nordskoven and God bless you and give you peace of mind, despite so many issues.

Thanks man for “the housekeeping”. I didn’t know about “[noparse][/noparse]”. Useful info ! 👍
 
Porn will never be banned until ennough people come to realize what a detrimental effect it has on our society.Most people think porn is wrong and are against all the nudity and sexually explicit materiall that is allowed to be distributed throughout our society.People are unable to correlate pornography to the many ills we have in our society today.They are told by too many educated people that porn doesn’t really effect behavior .As long as the public continues to buy into this lie we will never get rid of it.
 
=francisca;7869795]What are the obstacles?
I ask this because I am certain that porn has wrecked humanity up to its innermost sense of being.
I read many people are homosexuals & bisexuals. I really do not believe them in the sense they might genuinely convinced of their own condition and sincerely think that they are gays/ bisexuals, but I really think that sexual orientation can be tricked by porn quite easily, especially if these people are exposed to it at early age, and then later on they chose to act on what they thought their sexuality.
I do acknowledge that there are genuine cases of hormonal/ chromosome/ genetic disorder cases. These cases do not include people with normal hormone/ chromosome/ genetic condition. Thus in the latter case, homosexuality/ bisexuality is more of psychological or ever spiritual conflict.
The bible call those abomination. This is related to idolatry. Porn is idolatry. People’s are the victims.
So again what is the possibility to ban porn by the secular law?
SADLY [w/ many loking the other way and smiling], the law seems to be on their side. “Freedom of Speach” has been “convereted” to Freedom to TEACH! Fifth!

God Bless,
Pat
 
The main problem in trying to ban or even regulate “porn” lies in defining it.

Who gets to decide what is and isn’t “porn”?

If you start with depictions of nudity what do you do about things like Michelangelo’s David or venus de milo? There is nudity on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

If you start with depictions of sexual behavior, then what do about “marriage manuals”, or materials designed to help married couples with issues?

I suspect the OP would take a much more expansive view about what constitutes “porn” (she talks about being accidentally exposed to magazine covers in a grocery store), than someone like me. Does she get to choose?
 
Kiddie porn IS banned. **“Porn restriction is more related to a parenting issue and belongs to family, concerned educators, concerned public, children protection.” **Google “teacher kiddie porn” (RE: concerned educators) and see the busts of teachers for possession of child pornography. Or Google “prosecutor kiddie porn” same thing. Or “priest kiddie porn.” Here’s a recent case in Queens.

nypost.com/p/news/local/queens/queens_priest_accused_of_kiddie_knW2nADDeOsnIJtGuQFbSN

The foxes are guarding the coop. Here’s a website outing psych workers as predators, including kiddie porn users.

psychrapereporter.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/social-workercounselor-wayne-e-nichols-charged-with-multiple-rapes/

There are law-enforcement connected groups online who hang out in chat rooms masquerading as kids to lure sexual predators out in the open. If you can talk that talk and act kid cool, start there. Contact the FBI if you get any takers. Possessing kiddie porn is a 100% no-go. There’s a thought…Clean up the Catholic side of the porn equation. Invite people to toast their porn and rededicate themselves to respectful love.

Really? Bill Clinton was trained by Russians? Also, I’m sure you know of the trend that grew in the 1920s and 30s when the political parties basically “switched”. FDR was the first Democrat in the modern sense of the word. Early Republicans were big on increasing the power of federal government, Lincoln used federal law to put the Civil Rights reformations in to motion, and Republicans only began promoting smaller government around Coolidge. Please check your facts before making erroneous statements.

The diocese gave the laptop containing kiddie porn to his family members and they destroyed it? Hope they get charged with the destruction of evidence. Wow… So much for “best evidence.” A parish venue did do the right thing and turned a computer he used with kiddie porn over to the cops. This is my diocese. You think I should donate to anything but directed charities because I’m not paying for this kind of bull.

I don’t exactly know who to decide and whether something is porn.

I just think that if we can rate holywood movies, then why can’t we decide whether something is porn? Surely if something is very obvious (we know it when we see it), then it should not be difficult to form a porn-watch body whose authority similar to movie rating, and from there then regulate the whole business of porn.

I read the bible just now and I get a verse where God said to King Jehoshaphat who was about to be attacked by his enemies:

2Chronicles 20
15 …You must not be discouraged or affraid to face this large army: This battle is not yours but God’s
17 …Only take up your position, stand firm, and see what salvation Yahweh has in store for you.
22 As they began to sing their joy and praise, Yahweh threw the enemies…

I know that this topic is difficult, but God is with us. Amen.
 
Porn should not be banned. It’s protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution, which is the freedom of speech and expression. I’m not willing to give up my right to free speech just to ban porn. If you don’t like it, don’t look at it.
