Great quote.

You can certainly draw parallels with what the government are doing. The all encompassing 'anti-terror' laws spring to mind.

Banning and outlawing things just because a certain minority "believes" it to be casuing harm will do no more

• than drive it underground
• Make it harder to "police"
• Make a small number of people very rich and then give them the ability to influence the political and social circles who feel above the law and can afford to flout it

An excellent example of this is the prohibition era in America and all that it gave them - Organised crime, social inequality and corruption to the heart of the society. If you want that then ban it. Otherwise come up with a more sensible and measured way of tackling it and dealing with its "influence".
Be a grown up not a nanny!

Rant over for today!!

Someone was bound to say it, I just assumed it'd be Soulkiss

The vagueness of the law is a worry... Who defines violence or extremity? Is a smack on the bottom violent or extreme? For some people it would be, for others it'd be incredibly tame. Who decides? Hair pulling? Same. Breathplay? Waxplay? Getting trickier. As ever it's a sliding scale, but any law that's this bad about definitions is wide open for abuse. (so to speak)

And as someone else pointed out, they're talking about making it illegal to possess images of perfectly legal acts. That's obviously insane.

From what little porn I've watched, they always seem to be in the wrong area or stop short of finishing the act in anywhere that might end up in a pregnancy.

I must get a copy of your firefox bookmarks and/or your browser history........

A bit of topic but Gordon was on about this "new" "fatal" type of weed called skunk today which should be banned because its destroying society........I think the prime minster should have a little more to worry about than porn and weed from looking at the current issues facing the country.

Although I have backed labour for ages it seems there time is up, brown isnt a leader and the current policies seem more about grabbing headlines that sorting anything out on a long term basis

More like grabbing power IMO

I'd rather do it than watch it anyway, will they ban us from having extreme sex?
I do hope so, that last visit to the A&E with the beer bottle was quite embarrassing...

Now illegal... I'm sure they'll be locking me up soon...
