xxx proponents

[Christine Rotonda <crotonda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a parent, I think the time is now to get this finally done.  Let's clean up 
the sleaze from the internet and stop the harrassing pornographers from 
advertising to our children and the adults who are not interested in their form 
of entertainment.  I don't want to see what these websites have to offer.  I'd 
like to surf the internet without this smut.  It is offensive. If you want to 
view it, go to the .xxx domain.  I'll choose to protect my family from porn as 
a responsible parent would.  

This whole idea reminds me of the people complaining about cleaning up 42nd 
Street when it was rundown and crime-ridden.  Now it's a place where people can 
enjoy NYC without being scared.  Yes, it was a money-making idea and very 
lucrative for NYC and the community.  What is so wrong with that?  This .xxx is 
a win-win for both the porn industry and people who do not appreciate these 
sites.  We're not saying eliminate them.  We're saying give them their own 
venue. One where everyone knows what it is when they see the sign - without a 
doubt.  If one x-rated site gets on the bandwagon, they'll be applauded.  All 
others will follow.  They probably will have more profits because they won't 
need so many "gimmicks" (such as spam/popups) to get people to visit their 
sites.  The only people who want porn sites to remain "as is" are the customers 
and the industry insiders.  They have no concern for anyone but themselves.
