Comments on: Is Curbing the Supply Side of Soft core “girls gone wild” Porn The Answer? http://wonderlandornot.net/2007/05/13/is-curbing-the-supply-side-of-soft-core-girls-gone-wild-porn-the-answer/ we're all mad here Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:02:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: EsotericWombat http://wonderlandornot.net/2007/05/13/is-curbing-the-supply-side-of-soft-core-girls-gone-wild-porn-the-answer/comment-page-1/#comment-42902 EsotericWombat Tue, 15 May 2007 06:25:49 +0000 http://wonderlandornot.net/2007/05/13/is-curbing-the-supply-side-of-soft-core-girls-gone-wild-porn-the-answer/#comment-42902 I've gotta say I'm surprised, but you've heard most everything I have to say on the subject. Except that it would almost certainly be unconstitutional, whether or not our current Supreme Court would deem it so. It doesn't matter how many girls want the right to prance around naked etc. Even if there was only one there isn't a damned person on earth, nor a legislative body, who has the right to stop it. If you really wanted to put the screws to the likes of Joe Francis the way to do it would be to legislate a minimum payment for participation in commercial smut. his racket is profitable because he gets tops to fly off in exchange for T-shirts, hats, and panties. If he had to pay real money then his business and the copycats in its shadow would fizzle. I’ve gotta say I’m surprised, but you’ve heard most everything I have to say on the subject.

I have decided my vote goes to................. taking away the ability of creeps to prey upon and make money off young girls. I would support this kind of legislation. I think in a way it gives them power, a power that maybe in some cases they loose in this rat-ass culture. I would want a girl to be able to take nude photos and even participate in film should she choose to do so privately and not for profit, face it a lot of experimentation goes on in those years and I have no judgment on that, but I would support making it illegal to sell or distribute or for her to consent to such a thing. I am still partially torn by all "taking away our freedom" rhetoric and by all the "well they can vote and go to war and drive" talk but I see it somewhat differently. Maybe a lot of girls want the right to prance around naked and drink while guys paw her and place their grimy little fingers in places they shouldn't be but I really doubt it. I think it one is going to prance around naked and drunk or do anything else on film at that age it should be kept private. So for now this is where I sit, on the other side of the fence than most but that is really not unusual. Doug: That would be justice. I’ve thought about this on and off all day.

Pia, that might be more to the point than you know. A key element of the Japanese-style culture is that of shame — what you do reflects directly on me. Even better, on us. The whole family suffers loss of face from your binge. That sure as hell was the message I got as a kid. It was some deterrent. Now? Don’t think so. We open ourselves to predators so we don’t have to live in fear of our loved ones.

We’re not getting any closer, are we, Cooper?
