The difference between products where children, animals and poor people have been exploited and porn is that the children and animals have no say, and the poor people are forced by need. People who go into porn, unless forced--and if we can find out who is forced, we should do something about it--choose to do so, even if it's because of things that happened in their past.

I don't agree with all gun laws, but "potential harm" has to be balanced. There are some things in which you take or allow risk; other things you do not. You can't prevent all harm from happening.

You're not understanding what I mean by "choice." I have already pointed out, many of us had traumatic things happen to us that affect our choices today. In the US, we have freedom, and that's our right. Even if things that happened in our past cause us to make poor choices today, it's got to be our choice, and not someone else's. It would be far too easy for someone to deem us incapable of making a good choice because we did something they disapproved of. For instance, say I was molested, and when I grow up, I become a Goth. There are some who would say my abuse led me to becoming a Goth, and that someone should step in and prevent me from practicing that behavior. But, whether it's a good choice for me or not, I say, I have the right to decide for myself.

I have known a lot of people who view porn, who don't rape women or children. And yes, before you argue--as far as we know. But you can't prosecute someone without evidence, and to assume porn causes problems for which you have no proof, doesn't mean it does. There are studies that show both sides, and no one can say what truly is. We can only say what we believe, based on our experiences. I think, if porn affects some people negatively, they had something going on to begin with. As I said, there are a lot of people who use The Bible to justify evil acts. Should we get rid of The Bible, too?

I think sexual education is important for people to learn how their bodies are supposed to respond and how to respect each other sexually.

I'm concerned about men who won't stop if a woman says no, but I don't think it's the vast majority of men in the United States. The same goes for your concern about men who think once they're horny enough, they are entitled to sex. We need to educate people about their rights and what's normal and what isn't. But again, I think the vast majority of men in the US aren't rapists, and the vast majority of women don't agree with men being entitled to sex.
