Ashcroft vs. consent - Administration wages war on pornography

[Martin]

WASHINGTON - Lam Nguyen's job is to sit for hours in a chilly, quiet room devoid of any color but gray and look at pornography. This job, which Nguyen does earnestly from 9 to 5, surrounded by a half-dozen other "computer forensic specialists" like him, has become the focal point of the Justice Department's operation to rid the world of porn.
In this field office in Washington, 32 prosecutors, investigators and a handful of FBI agents are spending millions of dollars to bring anti-obscenity cases to courthouses across the country for the first time in 10 years. Nothing is off limits, they warn, even soft-core cable programs such as HBO's long-running Real Sex or the adult movies widely offered in guestrooms of major hotel chains.
Department officials say they will send "ripples" through an industry that has proliferated on the Internet and grown into an estimated $10 billion-a-year colossus profiting Fortune 500 corporations such as Comcast, which offers hard-core movies on a pay-per-view channel.

Well, they're waging war in the courts. It seems that they aren't going after the extreme pornographers, but after the ones that are the biggest distributors of porn.

Come on all you Bush supporters. Tell us again how the Republicans let people make their own decisions and don't try to tell people how to run their lives.

In a pig's eye.

child pornography and killing aside, who are you to decide what 2 or more consenting adults can do in front of a camera?

Well, as an old-timer, I have to admit some of the emails I get are pretty raunchy. Sex with dogs? Uh, no thank you. And they all are hawking young girls. If those girls are under age I think the porn kings should be prosecuted. Ditto for these man-boy relationships. Ech.....

But, Ashcroft should be spending his time on AQ not *SS.

Let us know when you're bored with spewing dishonest straw men and are interested in intelligent discussion.

You said that already. It's still a straw man. It will be a straw man the next 100 times you say it.

If you want an intelligent discussion you have to answer the question.

He'll just dodge again. I think it's because he is against pornography but he just wants to use this as a political jab at Republicans.

Not when the question is a dishonest straw man, I don't.

Is "Ozoned" one of your other accounts, or is this a tag-team diversion? You have to answer the question.

Run along Cad. We already have a couple of bleating Bush fanboys to divert this thread.

Answer the question Bow. This thread is about porn and fighting it. So are you ok with any kind of porn? Or just the really "bad" stuff? Or should it all be allowed?

Your choice I'll even let you "nuance" your answer if you can actually answer it with a yes or no.

The problem with Bushies is that they managed to mess up even the good ideas. A small team dedicated to eradicating kiddie porn is not only a good idea . . . it's got a fighting chance of success . . . at least when it comes to the domestic turds that traffic it.

Instead they take their limited resources and decide they are going to bring down ALL porn. The Bushies are peerless when it comes to the fusion of bold ambition and sheer stupidity.

 

[przero]

Where is the intelligent discussion you so crave/ The answer should be easy. i can't weigh in unless I know where you stand. Do YOU know where you stand? Do you even care about the issue or do you just depise Bush. I'm not here to defend W or Ashcroft. But not answering the question sure looks foolish. By the way, I am not "Ozoned" nor do I know him/her. I'm me and by the I have a profile listed with my real name and address. Something I notice that you don't care to list.

 

[przero]

BaliBabyDoc - I agree that the focus should be on child porn and unsolicited (e-mail) porn. Use the funds wisely.

More diversions from the spinmeister. I will address issues at hand. As we've already established, however, I feel no obligation to answer your loaded questions.

Do you still beat your wife? Have you stopped molesting little boys? Do you still sleep with the other bleating sheep? Does their bleating keep you up at night? Do you find it difficult to breathe with your head lodged firmly up King George's keister?

Yes or No, Cad? I'll answer your questions if you answer mine. I'll even let you "nuance" your answers if you can actually answer each with a Yes or No.



All questions are NOT created equal.

Well-said, sir. They are too busy putting on shows to focus their limited resources on real problems.
