Government: More Canadian porn, please
According to this news clip the government of Canada has a rule that 35% of programming must originate in Canada and apparently the porn channels available in Canada failed to meet this requirement. Maybe Canadians don't like Canadian porn. Something tells me no one else does!

Canadian porn sounds pretty dull to me and apparently it's too dull even for Canadians. Canada has got to be one of the dullest countries on the planet and so I'm sure that making exciting porn is not something that is likely to happen up there! Not that there's anything wrong with dull and boring since that's pretty much the same thing as peaceful and restful, but that's not what most people are looking for when they watch porn... or so I'm told. LOL

Japan Bans Child Porn, But Makes Exceptions For Manga Comics
Some people are surprised that it's taken so long for Japan to ban child porn, but even in the USA the law wasn't clear on this issue until the 1970s and 1980s. For instance, there was a relevant court case in 1982. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_v._Ferber) The bottom line is that Japan has decided at this time to ban explicit materials featuring real children and the law goes into effect in a year, giving those who possess such material time to decide what they want to do with it.
Japan's parliament voted on Wednesday to outlaw possession of child pornography after years of international calls for a crackdown, but avoided a clampdown on sexually explicit manga comics and animation depicting young children. Japan is the last OECD nation to criminalize possession of child pornography, although it outlawed production and distribution in 1999, and has long been considered a safe haven for those buying child pornography.

Apparently at least some people in Japan have paid attention to what has occurred here in the USA:
Even without the clause on manga, however, publishers said they were still against the revised law. Some opposition lawmakers also voted against it, saying it could lead to police overreach.

I'm not saying that child porn is a good thing, but the ridiculous police overreach (for instance, parents busted for pics of kids in the tub) that has occurred here in the USA causes me to question whether or not the laws should exist in the first place. Many lives have been adversely affected as a result of these laws that are supposed to protect the kids.

Most laws of this kind do more harm than good. The actual problem is statistically insignificant, but the problems caused by the law are horrendous. Most cases of parents busted for pics of kids in the tub never get covered by the press, but the kids get put into foster care and the parents get registered as sexual predators. And then there's the little issue of planting illegal pics on the computer of someone you don't like. Law enforcement claims that their forensic tools can detect such foul play, but they're kidding themselves and the public on that one. Any hacker with even the most basic skills can slip the pics onto a computer in a way that forensics won't detect. As usual laws made to protect people actually put people at risk. When will we ever learn?

pcslim: The laws are useful to the powers that be. They are part of the collection of laws that make it possible to arrest anyone at anytime. Computer evidence is easily faked and charging someone with possession of CP is a great way to discredit anybody. Once charged it's almost impossible to repair one's reputation. It's a great tool to go after political enemies and so those laws are here to stay!

This Is The Way The War On Pornography Ends
This entire article is interesting, but the key thing that most Americans don't realize is that this War on Porn (aka, war on free speech) is a two-pronged attack with one prong being religious extremists and the other being feminist whackjobs.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the anti-pornography movement was in its heyday. While religious conservatives like Jerry Falwell and Phyllis Schlafly actively fought against what they considered to be immoral materials, their movement was aided by some strange ideological bedfellows: feminists. The two groups did not always agree on what was and was not obscene — some feminists, like Gloria Steinem, drew a distinction between pornography and erotica that would not likely have been embraced by the Schlaflys of the world — but found common ground and pushed for the government to crack down on hard-core pornography.

shadylady: Extremists of both the religious and feminist variety put their agendas ahead of common sense. It should be obvious to all intellectually competent individuals that freedom of speech is more important than imposing a certain moral view on the general population. If you want to persuade people, then convince them that your point of view is correct. Making laws forbiding people from doing something you don't like is the wrong way to go!

Sexual Deviants Exposed. Are You In This Group? :dizzy:
Lots of perverted fantasies, but most people don't live out their fantasies or even actually want to. Fantasy is one thing, but reality can get kind of complicated when you try to actually do some of that stuff! That's what porn is for!

Deviant sexual fantasies? Sounds like fun to me! I don't really care what the DSM-5 has to say. That's written by a bunch of out-of-touch shrinks who have their heads up each others' butts. Come to think of it, that should count as deviant sexual behavior, but they are too preoccupied with sniffing each others' asses to realize it. But getting to the part of the study that interests me, it turns out that 33 percent of women and 44 percent of men fantasized about being filmed or photographed while having sex. That sounds like good wholesome fun to me and I should know for I am Carlos Danger!

Drone Boning - Make Porn Not War!
This isn't explicit porn at all. It's more just aerial shots of people having sex taken at a distance along with an innovative soundtrack. It's a bit artsy fartsy, but definitely interesting!
