South Carolina law would force Anti-Porn filter on new PCs; $20 to remove

[Memories4K]

No, i'm just kidding.
I'm obviously in support of this ban.
Porn is bad, kink is bad, it's the devil's work to gain pleasure out of anything in life.

I hope they go further and outright ban/criminalize porn in the U.S.

In fact, i hope we start prosecuting people who reproduce through anything but artificial insemination.

Sex is bad and anyone who's having sex or enjoying sex is taking part in the destruction of our moral and righteous society.

Lmao nah

So, a $20 fee is going to bring global sex trafficking to it's knees (pun not intended)?

South Carolina is attempting to crack down on porn accessibility, starting by locking new PCs from viewing porn out of the box:

 

lmfao 

 

So, just to scratch the surface...

1. How, technically, do you propose this be done?  To the best of my knowledge there isn't yet a 100% reliable porn filter in existence, and they're now claiming they have one?
2. So there's this thing called a clean install you can and should do to any prebuilt as soon as you get it home anyway to remove the bloatware and god knows that other crap they've installed (viruses, spyware, etc.)

Those are 2 very reasonable points for very unreasonable legislators that are incapable of figuring out any kind of technical detail on how to realistically implement.

Eh, the Founders lacked modern context. There are tons of places where just having the base 10 amendments can't cover the scope of freedom and certainly can't cover the scope of federal level security.

No I didn't...

Would you rather have an Orwellian society?  I like life; it's good, fun, nice, but stripping away personal liberties and rights makes it for the most part unenjoyable and even downright detestable.  I might not like where we are, and I damn sure don't like where we're going, but I can still enjoy myself and those around me.

I haven't read all of yhe responses.... but it is the 21st century, and I have ways of stopping access to porn from underage children. It's called Parenting. Learn how to use a damned router and filter out content to given Mac addresses. Set up access times. Don't let your children on without supervision. I don't know now exactly what these politicians are looking for. All of the required technologies already exists in these households. Parents have to become educated and use it.

How exactly would you do this artificial insemination without using the Devil's toys to extract male reproductive cells?

Except nobody uses them and isn't hard on their children because they get seen as nazis. There's ways around this as well:

- Use a phone

- Use 4G/3G or a VPN

- Pretend you're going to the bathroom

Because going to the bathroom every 15 minutes when your dad is watching Baywatch isn't obvious right?

 

First of all, I think these politicians are upset because they were limited to downloading p0rn on 56k modems. Waaaay to slow.

 

Secondly, this state plan cannot be constitutional can it? We view it as inhumane to restrict access to information in other countries such as Russia and China with their state sponsored Internet.

 

And I got it, any educated 12 year old can download TOR and get access to p0rn, but seriously, how is this a state issue? This is definitely a parenting thing.

 

Why don't they make it easier and restrict access through ISP? Then you can only access Yahoo mail, CNN, Sky News, and MSNBC.

This is what happens when you put the republicans in charge of everything. (not saying the democrats are any better at all)

[Trik'Stari]

Let it pass, everyone just remove the fucking software.

 

Watch them boggle at how to prosecute their entire state.

No with the Democrats you just have limits on what you can say and what you can believe, what words you can use to refer to other people and how much money you can make.

 

Edit: I forgot to include "what you can do for a living, where you can live, what clothes and food you buy"

There's a difference between democrats and SJWs. Yes, it's a bit of a shocker...

Not really, no. The left always pushes further and further into the hell that is communism. Just look at all the moronic SJW's that wear Castro or Che Guvarra shirts, not realizing that both of them prosecuted homosexuals and blacks, whilst also suppressing any and all dissent. Considering that these people are the "vocal minority" of the left, and that in a democracy the most vocal group is the one that's heard, I'm rather terrified of them.

 

These are the same people currently trying to end democracy by calling for the end of the electoral college and trying to invalidate the results of the election. Just because they lost by alienating everyone possible. The extreme right does exist and says equally moronic and horrible things, but they are FAR less popular, far less vocal, and have FAR less social capital than the left does, considering that the media is entirely in their pocket. They currently, supposedly have the "moral high ground" (even though they don't because they're just as racist and sexist, if not more so than the right, and they are trying to censor anyone who disagrees with them and/or points out the failings in their arguments)

Communism doesn't exist, never has. 

 

Socialism however is real. It might not be pretty, but if you really want laissez faire "hands off" capitalism than expect it to constantly end with something like all the oligarchs and plutocrats getting their heads chopped off.

I'd prefer a medium, like socially responsible capitalism (or true capitalism. Which did exist, then people freaked when the great depression happened, which is EXACTLY WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, and decided to pervert capitalism into corporatism. Which is what we have today)

 

Oh and the "communism has never existed" argument is getting old. It has existed, in the only form that it can actually ever exist because that's how absolute power works and what absolute power results in.

 

No one gives a fuck if it's 100% accurate to the theory, because what actually happens is what fucking matters. Namely, famine, war, a police state where you can't even make a joke without spending 20 years in a salt mine or having your brains beaten in with the butt of a kalishnakov...
