Las Vegas welcomes the porn industry and their billions of annual revenues with open arms. All of the porn film companies already hold their annual convention (AVN) in Vegas, so it only makes sense for them to move to Sin City. Like ThePyro3825 said, first the Electric Daisy Carnival and now the porn industry. I should thank LA's mayor for signing what I call the "Nevada Jobs Bill" LOL!!! Man do I love my city of sin.
@CommieKid I value your personal liberty more than my public health and safety.
I, you and most people on the planet are smart enough and endowed with the rights and obligation as individuals to watch out for ourselves and among them is to determine the risk/reward of unprotected sexual encounters.
So Cali is about to lose more tax dollars because the porn industry will just leave the state...hehe....I can't wait till that shitty welfare state collapses....
I can not believe how different America is today. It just seems like we all have been conditioned to obey and accept anything the government tells us or does to us. Our country was founded so each individual would be guarenteed liberty, but now it seems politcians tell us what we can do, what we can eat, what we can smoke, drink, and now want to tell us what we can view on the internet. I mean, WOW ! What happened to us ? We just accept it.
Condom companies were lobbying for the condoms in porn bill. It has nothing to do with protecting the talent, if anything there will be more diseases because the now-mandatory testing will lapse.
@hitssquad That's what happened in gay porn, where condoms are pretty much mandatory (aside from a few rogue producers) and something like 80% of the actors have HIV.
@MrAdrenaline1982 I concur and would like to add that Derrick Burts, the poster boy for this initiative, was supposedly infected on a gay porn shoot in Florida where condoms were used. Given that he was working as a prostitute and going to swinger orgies at the time this was probably unlikely, but its odd that AHF would use an actor supposedly infected during a condoms-only scene as their poster child for why condoms should be required.
@FederalistAnonymous What the hell? How was this even controversial to you? If you were offended by this, then you should probably move out of the country.
@SKATEyD3STROY Depends on what kind of life you're leading. For some of us, most every aspect of our lives are already taxed, regulated, our outlawed.
as if downtown van nuys could get any worse! now the streets will be flooded with out-of-work porn stars along with the crack whores and gangsters. it's gonna be really hard to tell the difference :(
@chronDiggity The porn industry has there actors tested monthly and the rate of STDs is generally less then the US average. Though I believe the idea was not for the safety of the actors, but a misguided hope to promote condom use through the porn industry.
So is the City of LA now going to have a condom enforcement officer go around to every shoot, no puns intended, and make sure that everyone properly equipped? How long before the Condom industry lobbies the city council for "special" condoms that cost more than regular ones. Then comes out with an "independent study" that says the more expensive ones should be used by everyone and urges a law be passed to that effect.
Yes, because obviously the porn actors would sleep with each other and get diseases without enforcing this. They do not at all self-regulate their industry with heavy testing.
like all fascist actions, there are Ulterior motives.
i think it is not about protecting porn stars, the goal of these fascists is normalizing the behavior of wearing condoms to the viewers (as if that is needed)
like the Obama health insurance mandate it is not about individual accountability and responsibility as they claim, it is about forcing/enslaving the healthy to pay for the care of sick.
@kwazadilla And the reason most people watch porn, is because it's mainly fantasy. I'd be damned lucky to be in a situation like the plots of some pornos.
@kwazadilla What the hell is wrong with helping the sick? How can you demonize people for such a thing? There are people born with deformities, mental retardation, health problems. What is wrong with you? If helping the poor and sick means that I'm a fascist, than so be it [in your twisted sense of reality]. I volunteer to community projects, I give money to my church to good causes, I donate. There is nothing wrong with the government being on the same page as that. It's universal good.
@TigerghostPictures whooaa, slow down there nelly....who said it was wrong to help the sick? do you contend that it is OK to enslave people as long as the goal is righteous? It would be OK to have slaves working on your plantation as long as the produce goes to feed the poor?
it is not wrong to help the needy, it is wrong to put a gun (see: government) to someone else's head and force them to help the needy.
@kwa So a better government is one that ignores the needs of its people? Im all for lowering the debt and filtering out those who take advantage of the system, but welfare isnt a bad thing. After all, in the preamble of the US Constitution it says that one of the federal government's roles was to "promote the general welfare." I couldn't imagine a world that was without some type of government involvement [safety regulations, firefighters], and it surely isn't represented by a gun in your face.
@TigerghostPictures, basically a better government is one that defends liberty and protects property from one citizen to another and from foreign aggressors.
"Promote" does not me ensure, guarantee or force. ex: George Clooney promotes his movies, he does not use force to ensure that we see them.
The government is guns in your face. ignore safety regulations, (even stupid ones, ie: Raw Milk), and see what happens, spoiler alert, they don't send ice ream trucks.
@TigerghostPictures furthermore, stop paying the property taxes that may fund your fire department (not all are publicly funded), .. after a time, they will send a sheriff with a gun and evict your ass, if you resist, he will put it in your face.
and to bring this back to the video topic, what happens if these porn actors refuse and ignore, the government will send men with guns and they will point them in the porn people's faces until they are punished for non-compliance.
@TigerghostPictures You voluntarily give money to the church (and I commend you for that). For gov't welfare, you have to hire a team of thugs to go extract the money at gun point, and the people at the top are of a similar moral calibre.
@kwazadilla Michael Weinstein, the thug behind this has already declared that pornographers have a responsibility to show safe sex and set a good example. He's an authoritarian piece of shit through and through.
@Vitaminous Yeah but I've heard that the prevalence of HIV in porn performers is less on average than average people. You have to factor in that people who aren't in porn have sex too.
@Vitaminous That's over the WHOLE porn industry. The very well regulated ones, and the back room, not 100% kosher ones. You won't get it as long as every is tested, and no one is lying about the results.
@Vitaminous Go ahead and Google it yourself. Most HIV cases, from what I could find, come up in the gay porn industry, and from what I could find, what Reason says is correct. I'm not trying to prove something, if you disagree with what they said, look for yourself.
@HKUser92 I don't disagree, I just think it's discussed like it's something trivial when in reality, it just isn't. Telling me to 'Google' something doesn't change the fact that no sources are being cited in this video, or its description. Reason's usually a step above.
