10/10/2019 Porn Laws Would not it be better if the DPR are fighting for a better “Undang-undang perlindungan anak dan wanita” instead? Peace. 14. maju says: September 20, 2008 at 1:50 pm andrey said : But it doesn’t really matter, because if God says it is wrong than it is wrong. and when i gave analogy about Javanese cultural clothes you said : wrong analogy. the right one will be if most of Javanese want such a law to be imposed, which they do not. So you do not have a case where a majority want a “Javanese clothes law”, unlike the pornography law. comment : whose God? anyway you are directly admit if there is an imposing of particular religion to be applied to other religions 15. Rob says: September 20, 2008 at 3:28 pm The Elucidations to the bill deal with issues of bestiality, necrophilia, oral and anal sex, as well as lesbian and homosexual sex. Pak Mantri… Indonesia already has a child protection law. In terms of protecting women some might argue that the law on domestic violence would protect women. Whether these are sufficient or fit for purpose is a different argument of course. PN… Not sure that all of the bracketed stuff you have in the translation is in the actual bill or is it? 16. perseus says: September 20, 2008 at 4:03 pm Personally, I don’t think this ban will be effective at all. The internet is awash with porn and blocking every racy site in the world would be like the labour of Sisyphus. It is a bit like King Canute wading out to stop the tide. Hopeless. Well, politicians must be seen to be trying to do something. It is the nature of the political beast. Ethically, I am untroubled by porn. Images of people having sex simply do not offend me. They are more likely to bore me. Everyone likes sex. I am more offended by eejits with antiquated 7th century moralities imposing their fossilized ideas on everyone else! However, I do not support it being sold in open view of minors. Nor do I support any use of minors in the production of porn. I look forward to porn and prostitution scandals engulfing the Indonesian political classes and I expect the youth of Indonesia to completely ignore and disobey this futile law. www.indonesiamatters.com/2474/porn-laws/ 13/19
