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.

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.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

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.
