| Message | Also, porn should be limited to consenting adults. Rape and other sorts of deviant acts should not be legal for anyone. |
| Date | 10:10:40, January 24, 2008 CET | From | Gilded Rose Party | To | Debating the Youth Protection Act |
| Message | Just to be clear: since there are laws against rape and child sexual abuse, such acts recorded onto video would be illegal. This feels more like a moralistic decision than a one based on protecting the citizens of Valruzia. |

| Message | There are laws against rape and child sexual abuse but this law would ensure that such ideas are not in the minds of Valruzians who may decide to act out their private fantasies in real life. Someone once said, "The eye is the lamp of the body..." and, "The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil." This law is in the spirit of those other laws that you mentioned. It furthers the goals in those laws by making sure that porn does not contain those illicit acts and it protects impressionable children from seeing such things. |

| Message | This is for the private industry to investigate. Not the public - it's already known what is legally an adult. |
