Just so we know what we are talking about here:
What if they were adorned in Americana as painted by Rockwell: What's the difference? |

This thread has spawned two very different trains of thought. The first, of the typical wiseass variety, is that I learned from the King Follett Discourse that pornography isn't "created", it's "organized."
The second, somewhat more serious thought, is that viewers are willing participants in the "creation" of pornography, which I suppose was the thread's point. Due to the ravages of age and declining hormone levels, I'm affected very differently now by "art" than I was at the age of 18. I concur with Justice Stewart's observation that I can't define pornography, but "I know it when I see it." And I see things differently than I did 35 years ago, and that's quite a dilemma for legislators and administrators. |

What if it was in downtown new york and he was in sailor uniform and she was some unsuspecting girl on V-E day? I'm thinking if someone took a photo of that it would be pretty popular

One of the slowdowns in getting the bill introduced in Congress, much less passed, is disagreement over how porn should be defined in the bill. The more conservative backers want as broad a definition as possible, but Cheryl recognizes such an approach would likely not pass constitutional muster. She's trying to drive through a definition that has already been court-approved. http://www.cp80.org/ Last edited by PaloAltoCougar; 02-05-2008 at 03:48 AM. Reason: Added website link |
