Obligatory mention that American Conservatism is not about 'preserving the status quo,' it's about 'conserving the founding values of the nation.'

You're so wrong on this it isn't even funny.

The root issue of pornography is not that it's legal, it's that it's socially acceptable. I agree that porn is a horribly corrosive and addictive thing that needs to be done away with, but trying to do that through law both will not work, and will cause a lot of collateral damage. Even legal...

Abhhorsen, would you support a law making it illegal to expose minors to pornography, much like it is illegal to give a minor cigarettes, alochol in most places, or make sexual advances on them?

America is a nation with specific founding values. They would have been considered liberal at the time, but now are classed as 'conservative,' and in America 'conservatism' is about 'conserving the founding values of the nation.' It is not a mindless ideology of 'always creep more and more...

There are a number of Christian charities that help women get out of prostitution. Probably a number of secular ones too, though I'm less familiar with those. The hierarchy of responsibility for helping people in hard circumstances goes something like this: 1. First, yourself. If you find a...

There's a world of difference between 'mass social shaming' and 'we are going to prevent you from even participating in the economy.' There is absolutely a difference. While there are some fringe people on the right who want to try to force issues (I think 'name of love' actually holds this...

I didn't say that. Prostitution is wrong. Making use of it is wrong. It is harmful to both the prostitute, and the one choosing to make use of it. That does not justify this kind of attitude: Most prostitution is a product of coercion, or outright sex-slavery. That should absolutely be...

The dominant Christian ethic is Love. If you have a utilitarian and uncaring attitude towards some of the most exploited people in society (prostitutes), you very blatantly do not value Love very highly. If you want to claim to be a follower of Christ, I suggest you take a very critical look at...

You know, I could have sworn at some point that you claimed to be a follower of Christ. I guess I must be misremembering. Not really. Being a degenerate never (in the US) had the power to get your life destroyed like 'racist' does. Not hardly. When the right wing had more cultural control...

Given how exploitative prostitution is ~99% of the time, I'd say you're absolutely wrong. Given how it almost guarantees a miserable life for the prostitute, I'd say you're wrong. Given it's a lot easier to move away from a secret porn addiction than it is from habitually visiting prostitutes...

I'll keep my part in this to one specific issue: You propose the means the Israelis are trying to use to soft-ban pornography, making it so people have to actively opt-in to access sites that host porn via contacting their ISP. From the look of it, this isn't even a system that has been...
