I sometimes wonder how much people here think.

Look at the three options and think.

Yes, it's up to parents what they want to see or their children to see.

Sounds entirely reasonable to me and should go beyond parents. All householders have the right to determine what enters their homes or buildings.

No it's censoring.

And do they really think very hard when answering No for this reason. Are they thinking a porn industry shouldn't be censored? So that makes the publishing of scat, bestiality, CP and even snuff movies legal. The Answer isn't so black and white, it's grey. Of course porn should be censored, the question is where is the line of what's acceptable. Because an uncensored porn industry lets in the scum of the world to prosper.

There are people and places in the world that will sell their children, no questions asked. Imagine the publication of a CP snuff movie. The act is illegal, censoring stops the publication of it. Yes we live in a bad world where good people need protecting from the bad people by laws.

No it might result in less sales for me.


This is probably what is governing most people's vote. The profit they can make. Is that an industry that should have no censoring?

The question is where is the line drawn, not yes or no to censoring. It will always be yes in a civilised society.
