Wrong. There's a demand for water, isn't there? Prohibit water and you can bet your bottom dollar that criminal empires will rise to meet the demand. Prohibit porn and it goes underground where the criminal element can exploit women to a much greater degree.

I am not advocating censorship of any ideas.
It's a slippery slope. If you give government the means to censor some things on the Internet, what's to stop them from censoring other things as they see fit? What if they decide socialist ideas are harmful?

You may not think that those horrendous stats and effects on our young are not worthy of note but I do.
One more time, I'm talking about the lesser of two evils. Censorship is worse than whatever harm you think is associated with porn.

Your "rise to meet demand" makes my case.
How so? You said that prohibition didn't create the criminal empires and I pointed out how it did.
Greatest I am writes:
Internet porn, thanks to it's addictive properties holds a lot of harm.
Again, it's the lesser of two evils. Censorship has the potential to do much more harm than a little addiction. Why don't you address that point?

Prohibition did not create the demand. It was already there and that demand is what created the black market.
Nonsense. There's a demand for water. That demand doesn't create a black market for water. Prohibition of water would create a black market.

Tell me, just how much addiction is too much when it is our children that we are talking about.
You keep ignoring the point of the lesser of two evils. Censorship is worse than addiction. Kindly address that point and stop pretending that you're the only one who cares about children.
Greatest I am writes:
Even with no addiction, follow the last link in the O.P.
No. You tell us what's in the link.
