Why should we kill the adult video store?

First, many responsible adults believe in the freedom of choice and in convenience. Having adult videos be sold only in adult video stores hinder convenience and choice. Many jurisdictions sell adult videos in general video stores, as well as general electronic stores and there is not much of a problem with that. They even show clips of pornographic films right in front of children, including the copulation scenes.:rolleyes:

Oh, and having pornographic films being screened only in adult cinemas goes against the freedom of choice as well. Many jurisdictions have their multiplexes screen pornographic films right next to family films and sometimes, the same screen alternates between family films and pornographic films during broad daylight during the weekends.:rolleyes:

Many complain about the double standards of pornography and sexual education as well. Many responsible adults should let children know exactly where babies come from.:rolleyes:

Oh, and the Internet is full of porn anyways, so restricting porn to those eighteen years and older is discriminatory.:rolleyes:

By the way, the Art Gallery of Ontario is full of NSFW artwork, yet children are completely allowed to view them.:rolleyes:

It is said prostitution is the world's oldest profession and was historically condoned as per fertility rites.:rolleyes:

Note that I am being sarcastic the whole time, proving why alcohol should be sold in monopolies and that arguing in favour of alcohol being sold in convenience stores and grocery stores is no different from arguing in favour of porn being screened in multiplexes. Alcohol and porn should be thoroughly and consistently regulated and there is a good reason why porn is not advertised everywhere and alcohol should follow the same lead as porn. In reality, I am not in favour of having porn everywhere.
 
Pointless and stupid thread.

Agreed. Not to mention that these places will likely dwindle on their own, as the internet generation has already moved past them.
Most stores don't even just sell videos anymore, it's main business is either accessories, or as hubs for anonymous sexual encounters.
 
Personally, I think alcoholic drinks should be banned altogether. I have no problem with porn though. Porn doesn't kill or hurt people like alcohol does.

Is pornography actually banned in regular stores though?
 
Since the discussion shifts from adult video to alcohol, do you, people, think that Beer Store and LCBO monopolies are doing good job of protecting public from easy-accessed alcohol?
