What is your position on child pornography? Should the government work harder to put restrictions on it?

What is your position on child pornography? Should the government work harder to put restrictions on it?

There are two different interpretations to your question:
1. Children in Pornography: Pornography should only contain people who are over the age of 18. Absolutely, the government should work much harder to remove this malaise of society.

2. Children Viewing Pornography: The age to look at pornography should also be 18 years. It makes no sense to limit the age of participating in pornography if the underage child can view it anyway. I believe that the Mideast Assembly would be wrong in passing a bill lowering the age of viewing pornography, and I feel the same way about the national government.

On the second one...
How would you plan on keeping children from viewing pornography? Would they be punished by the government for viewing it?

I believe that the government should not levy a hefty punishment for minors viewing pornography. It is a rather small offense in the big scheme of things, so we should leave the punishment in the hands of the local authorities, and no higher.

What punishment would you recommend?

What punishment would you recommend?

I would recommend community service. I would not want any jail time to come of this. The community service should be between 100-500 hours and should be at the discretion of the local authorities.

For looking at porn?? I believe that it should be up to a parent to punish their children for looking at porn, not the government.

I agree with Dan on this. I don't see anything (from a legal standpoint) wrong with looking at porn. It should be the parents decision.
Thank you for your input, both of you.

Sometimes, in their teenage years, minors tend to become rebellious and turn against their parents. A slap in he wrist and a grounding by the parents may not solve the problem. However, making a teenager lose valuable time to spend chatting, twittering, facebooking, and watching TV can have a lasting impression.

Most parents would ground their kids of all of that if they caught them looking at porn. I know my parents would.
I just feel that doing this would let the government control our lives.

Yes, but that would be the extent of it. No labor or anything that would really tell you never to do it again. Getting grounded normally only makes a teenager more angry. It takes a bit more to get them to realize their mistake.

But isn't viewing pornography more of a religous issue?

Persepolis- Why are you running for this seat?

Persepolis- Why are you running for this seat?

Atlasia is moving in the wrong direction. We are moving to the left economically, just because of current events, namely Obama. We, as a nation, have turned against the conservatives. We need to step forward and thrust ourselves in to a new era of Atlasian conservative economics.

Good answer. Thank you!

Questions from a newbie:

1) What comments/critique do you have regarding your opponents (whoever they are)?

2) When's election day?

Little bit of friendly advice on number two. In Atlasia no one noes exactly when the next election is. The consensus is late June.

Yes we do, it is the 2nd to last Thursday in June and the election lasts 72 hours.

I was being a little sarcastic too. I was also accounting for the possibililty of a late or no show Earl. Look at the the Special the voting should have started by now and it hasn't.

I believe it starts at 12.00 tonight.

Actually, I think it was SUPPOSED to start 12:00 A.M. this morning.

No, he said Thursday at midnight, which hasn't happen yet.

Difference of opinion.
It would have been easier if he had said "12:00 A.M. Friday" as his definition of Midnight Thursday is technically on Friday.

Well, since two has been answered for you, I'll answer #1. I have nothing personal against my opponent. He is a nice guy who has never resorted to anything underhanded, and I commend him for that.
I believe I will make a better Senator than him because I stand for change in Atlasia's future. As many people have been pointing out, the nation of Atlasia is falling apart due to bickering and a problematic government. The same old rivalries come up again and again, and new rivalries are clogging up the boards. We need to change all this by bringing fresh faces into the game and into the government.
From a purely policy standpoint, I disagree with my opponent most markedly on abortion and pornography. Once a baby is conceived, it is a living thing and should be treated as such. There should be heavy punishemnt for the doctor who performs any abortion, and punishment for the mother as well, along with any other conspirators. I believe that those under 18 should not be able to view pornography, and should be punished with community service. Nothing more, because the punishment must fit the crime, and nothing less, because that would not have a lasting impact on the teenager.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Dan is pro-life...
