    Why did God choose Israel?

    Yeah that's how I feel about it, to just be this overwhelming display of His grace. as Paul wrote in Romans 11 and ties right into the Resurrection that happens at their redemption.

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Yeah you can't call the government and get a new social security number if someone has stolen your identity and committing medicare fraud on your behalf. Nope, you get in trouble with the law, and they may require you to pay back what someone else defrauded the government in your name for, and...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    The war on drugs has undoubtedly ruined more lives than it's "saved" not a good example to choose. We'll just take fentanyl as a particular example. People aren't dying because they're deliberately using fentanyl. They're dying because illicit dealers are putting fentanyl in pills they're...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    as Rob pointed out the problem is effectiveness of the law vs risks of applying the law. Here we have an ineffective law that carries huge identity theft risks.

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    okay I get the gist (though the author has a really weird way of wording things that makes me think the article was written in the 19th century), but simply explaining sex in the driest of ways is not going to dispel the allure it has unless you keep them locked in a basement with no access to...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Even with sex ed kids would look at porn, why? Because adults tell them not to. But adults enjoy doing it and they're not stupid, they know it's highly desirable because the concept is all over media of every format. Romantic love and sex is the main theme of most secular songs, tv shows...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    no right now how porn sites are dealing with the laws is blocking access from IP's in states that have these laws. To get around it, people just use a VPN that is hosted in a state without these laws.

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Honestly the best method of preventing browsing internet porn by minors is to not allow them to have a device they can use to access it when you can't be monitoring what they're accessing. That means no smartphones, no tablets, no laptops, no desktops, if they need one for school it has to be in...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Basically here's how I see these state by state laws panning out: While it's still a minority of US states, these free sites will continue to operate, as long as the ad revenue keeps them running, and just block traffic coming from states with these laws passed in them, and people will use...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    ah yes, sites outside of the US's jurisdiction. The former soviet bloc countries have a ton of them, rife with child abuse and rape (there was a big case where interpol finally shut down one site where women were coerced into performing sex acts on camera when they thought they were just going...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    You must not be very knowledgeable about the internet in general. There's a reason why losing anonymity on the internet is feared (Doxxing). People do things with that information, identity theft, swatting (which can get people killed), blackmail, blacklisting from jobs, and that's just on the...

    Supreme Court rules in favor of anti-porn law

    Oh these bills are absolute junk as far as actually protecting kids. "protecting kids from pornography" is just a pretense. the real rationale is "we found a way to ban pornography without violating the first amendment"
