Perhaps true. But I despise the argument that porn is justified because we
have violent videos. It is like saying that we should repeal the laws
against rape because there are still people willing to commit murder.

But that's not really the argument. The argument is that naked bodies
(human, cat, etc.) aren't really something about which sane people should
be uptight. Consensual sex between adults isn't something about which sane
people should be uptight.

After all, we hope our children grow up to have bodies and be sexual beings
(ever wonder from where Grandkids come? {8^).

However, I at least hope that violence doesn't play a significant role in my
child's life. Thus, exposure to violence - esp. the nonsensical variations
so popular in the media today - is not welcome.

It's really two separate issues.

From where do you get the idea that the human body is something of which we
should be ashamed?
