Immensely upset by this.

Tried to sign a petition against it, but couldn't find one. Does anyone know of one? Can any one else find one? Also, if one does not exist, does anyone want to help me start one? I feel incredibly strongly about this and would appreciate any help and support to fight it.

I'm curious, what do you object to, and why? If you don't mind me asking...

[emilydongray]

good question. Will clearly outline thoughts in brief essay as first step.

[emilydongray]

yeah,i'd like to find a website like that about this issue. If one doesn't exist I'd like to form a team to make one.

Though as Neil pointed out, copy-pasted template letters probably aren't the way forward, and are less likely to be taken seriously than the hand-crafted kind.

If an MP gets scadloads of template letters he's likely to disregard them after the first few, whereas if he gets individually-written letters voicing concern about specific aspects of the issue which were obviously composed by a concerned human being (that is to say, a constituent) he's more likely to actually read it through and consider the points raised.

Templates might be a good starting point to familiarise yourself with the format, but just copy-pasting stuff probably isn't going to get the result you want.

Ugh, what the crap.

Stupid crappy knee-jerk "something must be done!" legislation bullshit. Because obviously the guy didn't murder that girl because he was already fucked in the head, he did it because of the evil evil porn. What's needed is more legislation, yay! Because legislation fixes everything. 9_9

And Martin Salter is such a goddamn bandwagon-jumping publicity whore, it makes me sick. >:|

Not as "knee-jerk" as the reactions I see in people's blogs

Having researched this issue fairly thoroughkly I am aware of these things. I plan to outline my specific objections in an essay which will form the basis for my online campaign. But in short I am against government suggesting what the boundaries are for acceptable sexual thought in *any* way. Any sexual act is harmful when unconsensual in any way and that even goes for any kind of unwanted sexual contact; However, porn depicting certain acts does not mean a crime has been committed, but this ban would make it a crime to view depictions of certain acts, real or otherwise. The law should protect people from harm and seek to prevent the making of films of such acts (I am aware of the current legislation about filming illegal acts for). gratification).

As I mentioned, this form of censorship already exists for hard copy material and in terms of what can be shown in a sex shop.

So, doesn't your position compel you not only to object to proposed thought on upcoming legislation, but also to campaign for the repealing of current legislation in the printed media?

You know what we call people who can't disassociate reality from fantasy? Schitzophrenic. That poor MF was fucked form the start. Same with with videogame violence.

To be honest dude, I'm not even sure what happened between those two adults - no one will know if she consented or not and died of misadventure.
