The above is opinion, not fact.

*See above. Morality is a question and statement of personal thought and
beliefs, but is in no way an absolutely proven fact. To make the above
statement fact, would be to reword it as "I (Nik) find PORN to be immoral.
Porn in my opinion is a way for some people to focus negative thoughts and
feelings into a less destructive form of expression. Also, if you like to
f@*&, then why not get paid to do it. Have fun and don't sweat the details.

>  I personally find certain sex acts wrong, and I don't feel they should be
shared with children. Children should not be introduced to porn, (actually,
no one should) when it is time to introduce sex and sexual material to
children, they are no longer children.

A decent statement, but missing one strong point. All children honestly need
to know how they were created and what caused them to be here. I am not
suggesting that you slap in the latest Ron Jeremy feature and sit back with
the family, but a good open discussion with your children about intercourse,
masturbation, and nakedness will more than likely lead to more responsible
teenagers and adults. Sex is about expression and nobody should feel guilt
or fear about their likes. Ignorance is not tolerated in this area of life.
There are too many unwanted children, abortions, and pregnant teens, due to
lack of parental and adult supervision. Porn is for those who want something
other than the vanilla missionary position they have been exposed to by
standard sexual practitioners.

material.

This is the parents right and not yours to make. Let people raise their
children their way and let others do as they see fit. There are too many
people nowadays telling you what is right and what is wrong. Right and wrong
is individual and not for the masses.

good criteria for violence should equal the criteria for sexual material is
absurd.

Violence is the destruction of another for the sake of dominance or
survival. It is it's own monster and should be treated seperately. Sexual
material is for education and entertainment and should be treated as such.

wheras sexual material should not enter a child's criteria anywhere.

Exposure to either of these items should be left up to the authority figure
and should not be the responsibility of any other individual. Not every
person follows the same beat in life and we shouldn't be made to dance like
everyone else. Be yourself and teach those you are responsible for how you
see fit, but remember that you also accept the responsibility of the actions
of those individuals due to your guidance because you still have to follow
whatever laws you reside under.
