Alberta refuses to join others provinces in banning sex ads

[GostHacked]

As far as pot goes I don't think someone with a very small amount on them should be made a criminal, but pot is a drug, it does kill brain cells and certainly there are no reliable tests for driving while drugged. If people are opposed to tougher sentences for drug trafficking too bad, anyone caught trafficking in drugs should be treated harshly.

Is the legalizing of drugs, or the abuse of drugs a 'moral' issue, it's a health issue when people become addicted requiring health care, IMO the harm of drugs on society far outweighs any 'benefit' there might be from legalization, which in itself would cause a huge criminal black market. But we are off topic.

Wait so legalizing pot would cause a criminal black market for pot? Like the one 'authorities' have been trying to eradicate for decades?? How's that working so far?

I may have lost some cells due to pot, but at least I can still see through some pretty crappy logic.

Prostitution will always exist. People should stop trying to stand in the way.

Exactly, they should be standing in line !!!

Some of you guys have gone cookoo. (how is that spelled anyhow?)

You guys are telling me you feel it's ok for the gov't to be banning speech from online content?

That's essentially what is happening. And not banning this content IS a Conservative stance. Controlling speech and censoring viewpoints is a Liberal/Communist/Fascist/Socialst stance and always has been.

It starts with prositution ads, and 10 years from now it moves to speech about the gov't not letting in immigrants as it promotes hate crimes so publications are no longer allowed to discuss immigration policy.

Then they begin watching this site. Now we all have to watch what we are saying online. Penalties can include jail time.

I'm just amazed how most of you guys come to 'expect' this from your gov't.

Wow you guys are seriously off your rocker and the gov't banning online content from a private publication should be code red for things to come.

You guys are sleeping at the wheel right now if you can't see the severity of this.

You forgot Marxist and Libertarianism

...and 10 years from now it moves to speech about the gov't not letting in immigrants as it promotes hate crimes so publications are no longer allowed to discuss immigration policy.

And you would get arrested for bagging on immigrants.

... and the gov't banning online content from a private publication should be code red for things to come.

You cant handle the truth.

You guys are sleeping at the wheel right now if you can't see the severity of this.

Its raining out. When it stops we will look.

There was no censorship before the 20th century?

Now that's funny.

So you think it's a good thing that the gov't is stepping into a private website and telling them how they are allowed to run their operations and what speech they are allowed to run?

You do know there's no such thing as sex smuggling right? Little girls getting kidnapped and here against their will working in massage parlours (until they get caught and threatened to be sent back home unless they come up with a victim sorty). It's pretty much a myth and there is no freaking sex slave smuggling.

There is no racial hate crimes either and when people appose immigration, they will then start policing that too using racial hate crimes as the excuse to control speech.

There's a book called manufacturing concent by Naom Chompskee (who I actually don't like). But the message is good. The gov't will always slowly take away you freedoms one peice at a time in the name of order and safety. They will fabricate myths, lies, and whatever else in order to gain control over your life.

What they are doing with these online sex ads is big. Real big. They should be challenged in supreme court over this.

It's just UNREAL that people here on the forum.. people THIS well read and knowledgable about these things have wool over their eyes and don't see what is going on. The lot of you really are brainwashed by the Canadian propaganda machine I guess.

Pitty.

I agree that Chomsky's MC is quite enlightening.

As to the rest, I don't know what you're directing this at me. I only disagreed with your factually-incorrect statement that censorship and restrictions on speech were somehow the invention of the 20th century. That's simply not true.

I can't even believe that anyone would try to deny the prevalence of these moral crusaders amongst Conservative supporters.

I wonder where those people are then, because I don't see them at the EDA meetings. Abortion is always a hot button, but other moral issues rarely come up.
