I'm less in favor of network blocking and more in favor of just making porn illegal. Establish civil and criminal liability for displaying it. Seize the assets of porn producers and burn them to death in an electric chair or whatever.

I have one simple question: why? For the children? For the fraction of performers involved in it involuntarily? Because you simply object to it yourself and want to force your morals on others? Because you're just trolling? Oh..

  Why flush the toilet? Why not just excrete your waste into the living room.

Does your definition of 'porn' include magazines like Cosmo? Does your definition of 'porn' include medical materials? Does your definition of 'porn' include religious texts? The problem with banning 'porn' is you have to ban very very specific things (like photographs of coitus, or textual descriptions of intercourse) in order to enforce it - but what you're really attempting to control or prevent is perversion or pleasure other people take in something you don't approve of. If you even glance over a list of fetishes you'd see there's no limit to the creativity of human sexuality. Pretty soon you're going to end up banning balloons, and a whole lot of other weird things that emerge. What about things like Bubbling (https://www.google.ca/search?q=mormon+bubbling https://www.google.ca/search?q=mormon+bubbling) Is that 'porn' or not?

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["hard-core pornography"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it... —Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion in Jacobellis v. Ohio 378 U.S. 184 (1964)
