Insidious
Tal,
I'm sure you'll agree that freedom has it's pros and cons that vary from individual to individual.
Freedom is not YOUR ideas protected, but to protect the ideas you hate.
Your argument against pornography can be made against music, TV, movies, video games, books, groups, as well as guns.......so where does it stop?
Your quote from Ted Bundy ONLY highlights the fact that when someone is mentally disturbed they can use ANYTHING as a trigger for their twisted fantasies. The person who kills because of a movie, or the person who commits suicide because of a song....should we outlaw music and movies as well?
It is an insidious move to begin tampering with freedoms because it makes it easier to tamper further and it might affect you next.

Re: Insidious
As a matter of fact, some defense attorneys of murderers have used the "murder gene" defense for their clients.
This is off topic, but the problem with that is that it is AN EXPLANATION not an EXCUSE to suspend a sentence or a finding of "guilty". Unfortunately, attorneys are successful at convincing people that an explanation excuses a perp.
The last bit of your post seems a bit like eugenics.....no thanks.
