Does Porn Suck?

[morondog]

Ah right That's interesting. Thanks for the Bill of Rights lesson

I don't see rights as inalienable. It sounds dreadful I know But the laws in the SA constitution are there for good reason, maybe once we all learn to get along better they can be taken out - already SA society is much less repressive than it once was.

It's better I think to have it as you do, but here (well there at the moment 'cos I'm overseas ) it's very easy to inflame people to the point of violence, because of past history. Many unscrupulous politicians are not above doing exactly that. Having the hate speech laws makes it just that tiny bit more difficult for those kinds of guys.

And so again, on the snuff thing, if it was a matter of national urgency to stop those goddamn snuff porn watching freaks then yeah, a referendum with a vote, a change to the constitution - I don't see that as too bad. They can still change it back again or challenge it in the courts...
