I totally agree with the laws being implemented to protect children from accessing Pornography. However my question is this: why is it ok to banish pornography but yet violence is kept main stream and is advertised everywhere?
What are your guy's takes on that? I am anti-guns and anti-violence i would like to have other people's opinions on this as well.

This should be interesting. I know there are a lot of guys on this board who are into "gore porn," (executions, torture, accidents, public suicides, snuffs, "sidewalk souffle," etc.). Personally, whenever I know a link goes somewhere like that, I will not click on it. I just think there are better images to put into my head than images of agony and death, and I really would like one of the fans of this sort of thing to explain why they like it.
I think we need to make a distinction between real and stylized violence. I know I react totally differently when I know I am seeing someone get hurt or killed than when I know it's an actor and a gun loaded with blanks. Ditto for a vid of someone really getting beaten up and a Jet Li fight scene which I know is rehearsed and the intention is to get through the scene without inflicting serious harm.
I do believe that someone turns a bad corner when they go from enjoying dramatic fake violence to enjoying violence in which they KNOW someone has been harmed or killed.
