"If you read history, you realize that god is one of the leading causes of death. Has been for thousands of years! Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians all taking turns killing each other 'cause god told 'em it was a good idea. The sword of god, the blood of the lamb, vengeance is mine. Millions of dead motherfuckers! Millions of dead motherfuckers all because they gave the wrong answer to the god question. 'You believe in god?' 'No.' -boom- dead. 'You believe in god?' 'Yes.' 'You believe in my god?' 'No.' -boom- dead. 'My god has a bigger dick than your god!'. Thousands of years, and all the best wars, too! The bloodiest most brutal wars fought all based on religious hatred." ~ George Carlin
Humor aside, religious extremists don't pose a significant threat to the sex industry. Too much money in pornography, toys, and adult entertainment. Basically, the politicians will shake a finger at it, then proceed to disagree on policy until nothing gets done... then blame each other so the voting public stops paying attention to the bigger picture.
I'm not really sure where you're connecting Palin's xenophobic remarks and religious hatred to that though. It's like saying because she doesn't like to bowl, she'll be trying to shut down the local burger shop.
Ya Know, I still wonder at this, the killings in the name of a deity and particularly those that actually say their god told them to do it, for in this day and age not only hearing voices that tell you to do evil unto others, but just admitting to hearing voices is enough to get you doped up to the eyeballs and incarcerated. So what is it madness or there really is something out there, is science trying to kill god I wonder and of the voices the devout admit to hearing, what god of love and light propels someone to act in death and darkness, for are they sure it is god that is telling them to do what. But then what god of love and light can turn people to salt, drown them, infest them with plagues and send fire breathing snakes to bite them, as that sounds to me as a most devilish work, a believe or be condemned attitude and the works of a tyrant not a benefactor.
But the porn industry being the current target of a vociferous politician, has anyone noticed the actions of politicians, they like celebrities desire their attention, so when they perceive their public image slipping, they come out with something, anything to get that public attention back.People talking wherever they talk is attention being given to the politician.
The porn industry is a very lucrative industry, money is being made on the nature of mankind, but whilst pornography attracts so many big money will seek to take a hold, for there was some evidence uncovered a few years back, that banks and other financial institutions had interests in the porn industry, a case of where there is muck , there's brass, something every financier knows, the primitive urges of mankind will always need to be quelled and there where primitive actions are, there is money, lots of it to be made.
But then those that rail against the porn industry is it truly they wish to impress their morals on everyone else, or is it they are just disgruntled because they are not reaping the attention and commerce themselves.
