Iceland Considers Internet Porn Ban 684
Onymous Hero writes "With the printing and distribution of pornography already banned in Iceland, further measures to stop internet porn are being considered by Iceland's Interior Minister Ogmundur Jonasson. From the article: "Iceland is taking a very progressive approach that no other democratic country has tried," said Professor Gail Dines, an expert on pornography and speaker at a recent conference at Reykjavik University. "It is looking a pornography from a new position — from the perspective of the harm it does to the women who appear in it and as a violation of their civil rights.""

It isn't like anyone is holding a gun to any of these women to disrobe, or have sex on screen (they have to sign papers about age and all this anyway)...how could it possibly be in any way, an imposition on their civil rights??!!?
Is freedom of choice what to do with yourself not a civil right? What about that?
The comedian Doug Stanhope I think summed it up best:
"If God had intended women to prostitute themselves, he would have given them free will and a vagina."

Which is just an extension of an older idea expressed best by Oscar Wilde: "If we were meant to be naked, we would've been born that way."

Is trafficing huge?
I watch Law and Order Special Victims Unit, and yes, it's huge. The entire female population of Russia has been kidnapped and forced into prostitution in New York City.
I also learned that all Russian women are gorgeous, all Russian men are angry, and video games make teenage boys murder people.
The only thing I've noticed to be actually true is that there really are a lot of good looking Russian women. something in the water over there?
