A quick definition of pornography:

Definition: Pornography, also known as "porn" or "porno," is media that shows naked people or sexual acts to make people feel sexually excited. This can be in the form of pictures, videos, writing, or even cartoons. However, just because something has nudity or sex in it doesn't mean it's pornographic if that's not the main reason for it. In some countries, it's legal to buy or look at porn, but it's against the law to show it to kids or to have porn that shows children having sex. It's also illegal to share sexual pictures or videos of someone without their permission.

A more thorough explanation:

Pornography, also known as "porn" or "porno," refers to material that depicts nudity or sexual acts with the intention of sexually arousing the viewer or reader. However, the mere presence of nudity or sexual content in a piece of media does not necessarily make it pornographic if the purpose of that media is not sexual stimulation.

Pornography can take various forms, including photographs, videos, written material, audio recordings, or animation. For instance, a sexually explicit video that is intended to arouse the viewer is considered pornography, while a medical textbook that includes images of the human reproductive system is not.

The legality of pornography varies from country to country. In the United States, it is generally legal for adults to purchase or access pornographic materials. However, it is illegal to distribute pornography to minors, and it is also illegal to produce, distribute, receive, or possess pornography that depicts minors engaged in sexual acts. Revenge porn, which involves the non-consensual distribution of sexual media, is also illegal in most states.

  • A sexually explicit video that is intended to arouse the viewer
  • A magazine that features photographs of nude models in sexually suggestive poses
  • An erotic novel that describes sexual acts in graphic detail
  • An audio recording of people engaging in sexual activity
  • An animated video that depicts sexual acts

These examples illustrate how pornography is intended to sexually arouse the viewer or reader. They also demonstrate that pornography can take various forms, including visual, written, and audio media.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
