| Message | Just because you can't do what the guys in pornos do doesn't mean you should lash out and ban pornography. Sounds like someone is jealous. Otherwise what reason would there be to want to ban it? There are no logical arguments for such a ban, leave people alone and let them do as they please with their own bodies. |

| Message | ROS can't think of any other reason because ROS is consumed with thoughts of insecurity and jealously. How revealing. |

| Message | YOU are the ones who are clearly insecure. There are no reasons to ban pornography and there is never a justification for it, who gives you the right to ban movies that you don't like? I don't like some movies but you don't see me banning them, to do so would be ridiculous and completely unfounded.
