Porn Obscenity: Cure or Cause for Violence?

More than 100 Senators and Congressmen have signed onto Senator Orrin Hatch's letter demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder get tougher on federal obscenity laws because they say illegal adult obscenity seen in porn has a great negative impact. Should this really be a priority for Congress right now? Cris Clapp Logan with InternetSafety101.org and Reason's Matt Welch debate.

This crap about convict testifying to hardcore porn influencing their desires is a terrible argument. Of course they are looking for an explanation regarding their own behaviour, an they will grasp at straws to provide one. Are we really going to be basing our evidence on the testimony of messed up individuals or should be be looking at more impartial data. This woman is simply looking for anything that will support her own conclusion. It is a very typical conservative attitude.

sexual repression is promoted amongst the culture of the working class and dwindling middle class to make them more violent and thus make them more willing to join the military and be cannon fodder for the worldwide wars which increase the wealth and power of the billionaire class.

that is why free love was invented in the 1960's to try to undermine the efforts of the ruling class to create violent virgins to be recruited into military

Why should we uphold the law? Because it's the law. That's why.

Overseas brothels..bestiality..child pornography..rolling around in urine and scat..

@O2streaming

uneducated people or people with low iq's usually view view logical explanations as "creative" and "improbable"

even if you were educated about sociology and history you would probably still lack the ability to recognize patterns using logic

The anti-porn girl looks like a whore.

@RBLA818 Just because its shown in a porn doesn't mean that the movie is telling you that it is ok to act out like that irl. Brutal and degrading porn exists because people get turned on from power & control play and from thinking about doing what is naughty and taboo. Porn is acting and fantasy- individuals are responsible for themselves for telling that apart stuff in movies from reality, and parents are the ones responsible for hiding whatever content they want to shelter their kids from.

@kiwisunshine5233 Incorrect, religion is A tool, not THE tool. Irrational hate towards a religion, group or ideology is just a good a tool as any religion.

So no, you shouldn't get hung up on anything, always keep an open mind and judge everything from a rational point of view.

@dbzman1985 I don't see how "non-religious agnosticism" differs from atheism, but each person if free to define his or her own beliefs.

You should be more careful with passing judgement on other faiths and people though, because their beliefs are often just as personal/individual as your own.
