Porn, Truth, and Morality

When I was young and naive, and filled with hope, I thought freedom and justice were intrinsic to a democratic state. Sexual repression was for the stupid backward nations. But in the last few years my hope has been drained and I have gone from being optimistic about humanity, to being deeply pessimistic and worried about what the future holds for us in the sexual minorities.

Just look at this news story. Porn can and should be something good (see this old news article), something beautiful, erotic, and entertaining. Certainly I admit, most of it, especially the American shite, is deeply disturbing. But why do governments think they have the right to tell us what we can and can't see, and do, in the privacy of our homes? They don't!!

Parents will say it is for the protection of their childrens innocence. Shouldn't their innocence be the parents responsibility? If you don't like what you see on TV, don't watch it!! Get rid of the TV and make 'em go to church.

Another thing that worries me is how prudish people are about nudity, and sex. It makes me laugh when I read in the Guardian about the stories other papers are writing and what they are saying about things! Romps!!! What kind of freak calls two people having sex a ROMP!! You have to be a total prude to read these stories with their stupid innuendo. The thing is people who read this stuff probably think it is highly erotic, and they are just so naughty for reading it. (That is exactly the word they would use.. naughty). I could be more explicit in my own room, on my own!!

Children shouldn't be hidden from tasteful nudity, where it is treated as natural. Otherwise they will grow up to be really, really messed up just like all the readers of the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Telegraph.... etc.... and that would be an immoral attack on their freedom to be happy. I mean when was the last time you saw a happy Telegraph reader?!

On a different but not lighter note..... all they wanted was a good time
