Rhode Island is the latest US state to discuss mandatory censorship of web content, at first targeting pornography:
Rhode Island Democratic state Senators Frank Ciccone (@senatorciccone) and Hanna Gallo (@hannagallo27) have proposed grandstanding, unworkable legislation, "Relating to Public Utilities and Carriers—Internet Digital Blocking" which would mandate the state's ISPs to identify all the pornography on the [I]nternet, and then block it for all Rhode Islanders, unless those Rhode Islanders specifically requested their porn to be unblocked and paid $20 for the privilege.
These proposals fly in the face of the observation that automated pornography filters don't work and that even the manual ones are neither practical, reliable, nor scalable.

Looks like the Bible will be banned in Rhode Island. It contains descriptions of sexual activity.
When someone asks "Why are you so mean to Christians, what did they do to you?", I can point to bullshit like this. Zealots will override your rights at every opportunity if you let them.
Religious, political, or ideological zealots; they are all the same.

Read Song of Solomon [biblegateway.com].
Read Ezekiel chapter 23 [biblegateway.com]. Be sure to check out verse 20, but everything leading up to it is quite a read.
In Genesis 19 [biblegateway.com] we have a lovely story of how Lot's daughters [wikipedia.org] got him drunk and then raped him so they could become pregnant. (Although they did it on two consecutive nights so that each daughter got a fair turn.)

If Lot were drunk enough not to recognize his own daughters, wouldn't he be too drunk to get it up? I've read that men can't, er, perform when they're good and hammered.

Maybe he thinks his daughters are hot and would want to date them. Like the president says.

You don't need to be erect to ejaculate. It's easier to do if you don't have half your penis cut off, as many Americans have, but that isn't a requirement. In those cases the easiest way is for soft ejaculations is through prostate stimulation.
Sexual education especially sucks in USA.

Rhode Island is run by democrats.
When they aren't busy encouraging every possible sin, they are indulging in islamophilia. They are about as anti-Christian as possible.
I'm guessing the problem is that porn reduces female power to deny sexual satisfaction to males. Then again, it could just be kissing Muslim voter ass.
