Iceland wants to ban Internet porn

My guess is the magazine sellers are behind this..........

I have no problem with them trying to ban it. Good Luck though.......

Only idiots believe in censorship or prohibitions.

Censorship reflects a society's lack of confidence in itself.

Some of the people here want to take a swift look at their ethics. It's not just about you and it's not just about censoring children's use of internet, as opposed to censoring your misuse of it.

The vast majority of women working in the sex industry are coerced (c 74%). Consider what kind of person you are, next time you disregard the rights of those women in order to get your sick jollies. Maybe you could stop providing a market.

Womens rights are not being disregarded in the sex industry in the US. These women do not need to do anything they don't wish to do. If they don't want to have sex with that unattractive dude, then they don't have too. If they find it's not pleasurable to do at all then they can walk away and do whatever else with their life.


Then consider what kind of society has porn-addicted weirdoes walk amongst it and how many children can feel safe in that environment.

Really? Come on, get real.

The whole thing worries me. It's an aspect of men which can't be examined too closely...not nice.

:roll: Women watch porn. I just blew your mind there, but you should recover just fine.

73% of women working in the sex industry are coerced. Coerced means they don't have a choice. Watching that provides a market for abuse.

Of course you don't care. Unless it's your daughter/wife/etc.

1 in 3 rapes involves a child. Porn is not real. But it provides loony men with some unreal notions of what is acceptable in decent society.

1) You do realize that porn is not prostitution right? If you'd like to provide any sources whatsoever for your stats on forced pornography, we'd be happy to see them.

2) Porn that is legal does not involve children, so outlawing regular porn isn't going to prevent child rape.

I know what coerced means dear. You just so happen to be wrong is all. The vast majority of women in the industry are free to do what they want.

So watching a man and a woman have sex somehow drives men to rape children. Yes, that doesn't make sense. Child porn is another matter, but then anyone that watches it and gets off to it most likely is already inclined towards that behavior.

Porn produced in the USA and Western Europe, which is what most people here watch, does not involve coercion. Many very decent people, male and female, enjoy types of consensual sex that you probably consider unacceptable and would appreciate it if you would mind your own business. Porn consumption in a society is not correllated with rape.

You do realise I didn't mention porn as far as I recall although I'm too lazy to reread and check for you. You don't realise that porn and prostitution are connected (how is it even possible to pretend to ignore the blatant connection) but they are. The vulnerable are selected and groomed often from childhood, often commencing with soft porn, progressing through the levels to prostitution and stopping at addiction along the way. I don't expect planning for old age is usually required after that lifestyle. I don't expect the victims realise they are being coerced until it is too late.

If you'd like to provide any sources whatsoever for your assertion regarding the impact of porn on child rape, or even some studies, go ahead.

The vast majority are coerced into doing what you and the rest of the head in the sand porn market want.

Inclined and inspired. Not all porn involves adults and having to mention this again is embarrassing but as you completely missed the point, most porn does not involve consensual adults.

Not good, but illegal.

You can mind your own business regarding what I consider acceptable. It's unrelated to the thread as the topic is internet porn.

I'm still waiting for your groundbreaking sources that link pornography and illegal prostitution and child rape. By all means, cite away.
 
To be fair, though, Icelandic internet porn is just an elephant seal having sex with a discarded parka.

Unless you are talking of illegal prostitution and not pornography than you are entirely wrong. However, I suspect you just don't want to admit the two things are different.

Until I see a link showing me that pornography is forcing the majority of women in the industry into sex I will have to base what I'm saying on the information I know of which says the exact opposite.

Porn is legal.

Because the same people that are upset by Iceland are the same warmers that won't speak out against an issue in a place they lose the argument. Porn is important enough to talk about, but GW in China is not.
