Thought this was funny- and so hypocritical at the same time: www.nbcnews.com/technology/frisky-business-linkedin-evicts-little-known-red-light-district-1C9911883Going after the little people as usual. My bet is that every major player ass deep in the porn industry (pun intended ) has a profile. All of the major hotel chains that provide porn, Comcast, movie channels, etc. are on there. It is a legal business- but they pulled the state law argument- well how about state usury laws? How about your predator managers at the title loan company, or even the credit card companies be barred from the site on moral and legal grounds? Screw them. Just another bullshit profile site I don't want any part of.

I agree with you in principle, but in terms of legal liability they may have no choice. That's the trouble with big government- you never know when or where it's going to strike, nor in what obscure way it will effect your life, or your business. Best just to pare it down and adopt a more live and let live approach to government where its only legitimately recognized power is to protect the individual's natural rights. Not to pick and choose their individual entertainment choices, the kinds of things they smoke or ingest, or what kind of cars they drive, or the type of light bulbs they're allowed to use, or the gallons per flush of their toilets, or the kinds of vaccinations they should have, or what should be taught in their schools, or the way in which their houses should be constructed, what features ought to be standard in their cars, or the energy ratings of their appliances, or what ought to be included in their health care plan, or even whether or not they should have a health care plan...I could go on, but this is the consequence of a cultural acceptance of inappropriate power in the hands of government.
