Speaking from this angle, is, IMHO, far-fetched. Morals cannot be controlled by allowing immoral acts.
You would be right if everyone followed your moral code.
Adult section, should remain an 'access denied' at all time. There is no sense in using the logic of allowing partial control of adult section because of 'bending' some rules to accomodate varied opinions.
In my opinion (corrections are welcome) the current situation is partial control, that is a website is supposed to declare if it has xrated material. When all xrated material will be under one tld, the businesses in this industry will have it tough. Their customers will only be people who were intending to visit. No more accidental hits. And now blocking these sites will be much easier
Porn is a booming business, for all purpose, but sanity can't be limited to mass profits. It should be treated like drugs. If one peddles drugs, he's punished for promoting a social vice. Porn is not just something we can defend even if it contributes revenue to the govts and individuals.
Your argument reminds me of the church arguing against sex education. This is simply burying ones head in the sand and deciding that if I cant see it, it aint happening. As a parent if you don’t talk to your kids about sex, then be prepared for the consequences when they learn about it from sources that don’t have their best interest at heart. I didn’t say we should accept or promote porn, but pretending its not there is very dangerous.
The church should continue protesting against the .xxx domain. This is due to the fact that it is the ultimate body which should uphold the acceptable morals in the society.
Yes the church should continue fighting for high levels of morality in our society, but In this case it should ask itself why its on the same side with the porn industry protesting. (I thought the porn guys and the church should have different objectives)
One of the ways to promote the moral stand is to fight for the dropping of this domain completely. It's illogical again to support the .xxx domain at the expense of morals. Sex has to be sanctified, for heaven's sake!
Objective thinking and action always yields better results than emotional reaction. More of my 2cents worth, (now it has reached 4 cents)
