American judge strikes down anti-porn law.

Judge: I can't let this law stand because it violates free speech and a less intrusive option is easily available for people who want filters.
Government: But very few people choose to use that option!
Judge: That would be their decision AND MY POINT.

Pshah. Next you'll be suggesting that people stop using the TV as a substitute babysitter for their kids, or something!

An acquaintance of mine whose teenager may be understatedly described as a discipline problem was complaining that the librarians at the local public library didn't do enough to keep him from looking at pr0n.

To which I could only reply, "Er, don't get me wrong, but your kid is a TEENAGER, and we still lack the technology to be everywhere at once."

I mean, I find looking at porn in public kinda creepy, not to mention rude, in the way that dropping trou and pissing on the sidewalk is also creepy and rude (an event I have also been unfortunate enough to witness), but sheesh.

When porn is outlawed only outlaws will have porn. Or something.

"Government: But very few people other than the US government in its libraries and schools as a standardchoose to use that option!"

There, fixed that for you.

Except this complaint is about porn being available to the average American, and the government's complaint is that they need to make viewing porn a crime because not enough people choose not to view porn.
