First of all, just because something is often used immorally doesn't meant it is necessarily immoral in and of itself. I tend to answer these questions by the latter.

you call yourself a Libertarian and you think prostitution, marijuana, and strip clubs should be illegal?!  Change parties, you prude.

[Middle-aged Europe]

I´m really missing the "D" option: "it isn´t immoral, but it should be illegal nonetheless" .

Laws shouldn´t be made because something is "immoral", but because it makes sense to enact them. So I´m officially protesting against the use of the formulation "A=immoral and should be illegal" .



Rank all of the following A, B or C

A=immoral and should be illegal
B=immoral but should be legal
C=not immoral and should legal

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

I wasn't referring to child porn with the "hard" porn category, but rather the XXX CUM GUZZLING SLUTS type stuff you find in the way back room of video stores, or maybe even Hustler.

You were the one who said "you know what I mean"...

Well, in that case certainly not "A". I would decide on a case to a case basis wether it´s "B" or "C" stuff. Not that I´m running now into the next video store... I´m not that desperate.
