Porn protest

Pornography is not protected by the 1st amendment but rather by the 5th amendment and its contract clause. That is why its sale and display is controlled by "time, place and manner" restrictions and age restrictions. Porn has nothing to do with freespeech, in fact it is the antithesis.

Free speech

[beatdownbob]

I'm all for it as long as the bible is kept out of kids reach too.

Let's get ALL vices treated the same way.

[Thenumberqskateboard]

are you really that akward that you just can't explain the human body?

[JsWay1897]

Thanks for fighting for a clean place for kids, PORN, keep it out of reach from children. Adertising and all

[KzrrainzYes]

That's one thing China can do right.

who said anything about banning it. All we asked was that "the time, place, and manner restrictions" be applied so that adult book stores don't sell candy to children. did you even watch the video?

[cyanide444]

That's true, but that doesn't prove anything on the grounds of banning it.

I am saying that pornography has no first amendment protection. Larry flint spent millions portraying himself as a defender of the first amendment and all he did was legalize slander and libel. The same with Murdoch, he got a supreme court ruling that Fox news casts could be outright lies and still be presented as legitimate, neutral reporting. so stupid people now think that if porn is available, then their 1st amendment rights are still protected. It's a social disconnect!

[cyanide444]

So you are saying amatuer porn is fine?

It is a freddom of contract not a freedom of speech. commercial speech isd not supposed to be protected by the first amendment that was just the corporatization of the constitution. It's hard to discuss first amendment issues when so few people have investigated the "opinions" they have been sold.
