Nobody as self contradictory as you has any firm convictions.

I believe that YOU believe you have them. Best I can do, sorry. No point engaging someone who isn't up to the task. Your standards shift too much. If I wanted to argue with ignorant 14 year olds, or the internet intellectual equivalent thereof, I'd have never changed my major and would be a teacher. Bullet dodged, amirite?

Convictions? lol
13 But why should you keep your head over your shoulder? Why drag about this corpse of your memory, lest you contradict somewhat you have stated in this or that public place? Suppose you should contradict yourself; what then? It seems to be a rule of wisdom never to rely on your memory alone, scarcely even in acts of pure memory, but to bring the past for judgment into the thousand-eyed present, and live ever in a new day. In your metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity: yet when the devout motions of the soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape and color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hand of the harlot, and flee.

14 A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict everything you said today.—“Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.”—Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

You don't have to ban porn. Just tax the profits of sites that host sexually explicit videos so much that it's untenable as an industry. Most of the atrocities of porn are done in the pursuit of easy money, just make it were theres no monetary gain from porn.
You don't have to ban transphobia. Just tax the profits of sites that host hateful transphobia content so much that it's untenable as an industry. Most of the atrocities of transphobia are done in the pursuit of easy money, just make it where there's no monetary gain from transphobia.

It's a retarded point, friend. The next guy is not going to regulate his behavior based on the way Donald Trump acts. Governing based on fear of what the next guy will do if you don't pre-emptively follow his wishes is fucking moronic. You're acting like the next president is Roko's Basilisk.
 
Who did you put in the classical music section
Its been 20 years and I do have that hard drive sitting in a box out in the storage shed.

vivaldi, batch, albums of various famous orchestras. I never was part of that big music torrent site oink I wanna say its name was.

This was also when storage was pricey fuck an I phone could prolly handle all my filez from back then
 
Only retards and lawyers would have a hard time telling if something is or isn't pornographic.
In other words, the only people who ever get elected into office. If you want to see how competently our government handles media regulation, just look at Jack Thompson, Joe Lieberman, or the entire history of network television.

The only convictions he has are the kinds you're legally required to tell your neighborhood about.
 
"If they ban porn, they might do all this stuff they've already been doing for 20 years" isn't as powerful an argument as it used to be.
I feel like porn is harmful, and I really wish they had some way of limited access to minors at the very least. I do think the current way they are going about it with pornhub at least is very hamfisted and will lead to some sort of digital ID, and it's just not worth it.

The point is not giving the state more power than it already has, otherwise you get a situation like how Bush created the surveillance state and Barack Obama expanded it and used it to go after his political opponents.
