Kill the .xxx Domain

"Washington, May 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- "The .XXX domain should be killed and a stake driven through its heart so it never rises again," said Patrick Trueman, former U.S. Department of Justice pornography prosecutor. For more than ten years, the promoter of this new porn domain for the Internet has tried to get the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, the Internet governing agency, to establish an additional place on the Internet for access to pornography, Trueman noted. "Not one sound argument has been put forward for why the world needs more Internet pornography."

Trueman said, "What is needed instead of an .XXX domain is a war on pornography." The public, should call a halt to widespread distribution of pornography because of the terrible harm such material is causing. "There are four major harms from pornography, harm to children, violence against women, addiction to men women and children and increased sex trafficking." He outlined these harms:

1.) It is causing great harm to children who have easy access to hardcore porn as soon as they are on computers. Also, men looking at porn are deviating to harder and harder material to get a sexual high and many are turning to child porn and child molestation.

2.) Violence against women is now a feature in most hardcore films and this is developing violent attitudes towards women and girls, according to research.

3.) Addiction to pornography is now an untreated pandemic. The brain science research on pornography demonstrates that men are never satisfied with what they see in porn and thus are driven to consume more and more until addiction develops.

4.) Finally, pornography leads many to act out what the see and that is leading to an increase in prostitution. So much prostitution today involves sexually trafficked women and girls. The research on children involved in commercial sex is staggering with studies indicating that approximately 250,000 juveniles are involved in trafficking. Large numbers of foreign and domestic adult women are also trafficked to meet the demand for prostitution..."  Full text :  Kill the .XXX Domain -- Start a War on Pornography Instead

Response to comment [from an atheist Pinko Commie]:  "Since most adult sites use the .com domain, killing the .xxx domain would accomplish absolutely nothing. If you want to control porn on the net, force all porn sites to use .xxx domain through international treaties. Then most of the legitimate porn sites..."

Now you see why your reputation is in the red zone.   Thank you for informing us of the smut-world.  Welcome to TOL.  Now go away.

Response to comment [from a Satanist]:  "...[T]ypical cheesepuff softball idiotic Washington idea that fixes and solves absolutely nothing."

Graniteheart, you're back.  You couldn't keep silent when porn-talk was in your midst.  

You're not giving up your porn anytime soon, are you? 

"I'm young, healthy, and married to a female counterpart. Do the math, you rotten little troll."

Then I owe you an apology.  I'm sorry (1 Cor. 6:18). She isn't a blow up doll is she?

Response to comment [from other]:  ""Wascally Wiberals and their constant censorship!"

I agree with Graniteheart.  Washington can't solve this.  But the gospel of Jesus Christ can.

Response to comment [from a Jew]:  "Censorship does not make people more virtuous or moral.  It never has and never will.  Period.  End of report."

True.  Censorship will not clean up a person's heart.  However, we do not need to saturate our society, as we have, with filth.  As we discussed in the 'Live Action Responds' thread:

"Exceptions established by the courts to the First Amendment protections include the following:  Defamation | Causing panic | Fighting words | Incitement to crime | Sedition | Obscenity..."   Full text :   Freedom of Expression at the National Endowment for the Arts

Response to comment [from other]:  "Why are you incapable of monitoring yourself?"

You see no problem with a sex-obsessed culture?

"I see a huge problem with the "let's censor those things and those people we don't like" culture.  It's quite simple ... seriously!"

I see. Well, you're a perv'.  Meanwhile, the rest of us still have values and we'd like to preserve our nation.

"Since you really hate freedom so much, why not just move elsewhere? No doubt that Iran or Iraq would be more up your alley..."

We value freedom.   How 'bout my freedom not to be exposed to your filth?

"How about my right to insist you back up your lies about me, Pinocchio?"

What? That that you are defending filth?  I'm not calling you filthy.  You are merely taking the side of filth--why are you making this so difficult?  

Response to comment [from other]: "To be 'exposed' to it means searching it out SD."

No it doesn't.  Soft porn is everywhere in our culture.  It doesn't have to be.

Response to comment [from other]:  "In order to be *taking the side of filth*, I would have to be agreeing with you... which I am not...What you don't have the right to do is censor others. "

I disagree.  I think porn it is harmful to a society.  Even the godless courts have agreed with me (which we discussed in detail in the 'Live Action Responds' thread.    

"Realllyyyy?! I never view or see it because I don't want to see it."

It's everywhere in our sex-saturated culture.  On this, Christians and Muslims can agree.

Response to comment [from other]:  "If you want to go that far, then you have to censor literature, movies, music videos, tv commercials, tv shows..."

And the alternative?  Let our culture crumble?  Sexual immorality has taken down the greatest of nations.  Do you think we will be any different?
