Porn is a real problem that most guy's don't understand, the reason it is accessible and free is to keep us un-productive.
Ask yourself, what did you do before the internet? What did you do before porn was online?
I looked at some magazines when I was like 13.
Everything has its costs and benefits. By this measure, you could ban sex without condoms, alcohol, fatty foods, soda, etc...
I think that the people who are so quick to allow the state to ban things are short-sighted.
Freedom comes with costs, not one is denying that. However, I would rather people have a choice in the matter than have the government dictate to them their choices.
That is nice in theory, but government does what they want no matter what the people say.
Think about it for a second, would the banning of porn really effect your life that much.
Nice in theory?
The government can not just do what ever it wants or else it will eventually be toppled (see the Arab spring).
Think about this for a second: would banning rated R movies have a big effect on your life? You can still do what you want. You can still live your life as you see fit. That is the argument that you are making. Essentially, you are pro-censorship.
