I Opppose the .XXX Domain

[Karen Kistler <karenkistler@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Members of the Board of ICANN:

I am writing to urge you to kill the proposal of the .XXX domain. In
addition to strong opposition from both sides of the argument, this new
domain would only increase the amount of pornography available on the Web,
easing accessibility to hard core pornography to minors and adults alike.
*Pornography is a widespread, ever-growing crisis, polluting the minds of
its viewers and negatively changing attitudes towards women and children.
Please do NOT participate in the destruction of marriages, the abuse of
children, and the demise of our culture.  *
**
*Pornography leads to sexual addiction....and as with any addiction, that
first "high" is never attainable again...so you have to look for something
"more" to get a high.   The majority of sexual offenders and predators have
an addiction to pornography.   Please don't feed this addiction by making
pornography even more readily available than it already is.*

A more appropriate goal should be to STOP the distribution of this
destructive material by prosecuting those responsible for it, not to protect
pornography on the .XXX domain.
*Again, please kill the proposal of the .XXX domain.*

Thank you.

Karen Kistler
