Porn "superstores"

Anything that makes porn more redily available makes America a better place.  Now if we could just legalize prostitution.

Interestingly, the amazing popularity of pornography is a symptom of America's prudery and the pathetically unsatisfied state of the average American male.

Agreed.  I don't know if Keystone would agree with me on this, but the state of some neighborhoods in Philadelphia, especially those near Kensington Ave, would be drastically improved if legalized brothels were to be a reality.  Prostitution has ruined some neighborhoods because of the drugs and other things brought into it.  It should be run like Holland.  Girls should be tested every month and licensed.

Absolutley not. This would actually hurt struggling neighborhoods in NE Philly. Families would flee these areas.

Put the brothels on Kensington Ave or anywhere and have a "red light district".  This would cause people to stay off the streets in places liek Port Richmond or Harrowgate. Keep them to a main road and out of reisdential areas.  This would also increase the quiality of the women selling themselves as well for there would be higher standards, but you'd pay more.  Some of the women are horrible looking.  No joke one of the Johns tried to pick up a Catholic school girl on her way to class.  These whores would hang outside Dunkin Donuts when I went to North Catholic.  They were absolutely disgusting.  I do not see how my proposal is "anti-family" when it in fact frees up police resources to keep cops on the job and creates a new source of revenue (taxes on the "sale" of sex).

Libertarian philosophy is that people have a right to do what they want so long as they don't interfere with the rights of others. The question is; does a porn shop interfere with the rights of others? I think you can make a good case that a porn shop in the wrong place does. A porn shop next to an elementary school playground would be such a case as potentially it would put children at risk to sexual predators.

I would say keep them out of residential areas and away from schools. Require discreet advertising and window displays  ( no 50 foot tall naked women in neon lights) and limit access to people over 18. Also I agree with Jonh Dibble's comment that too many can be a problem.

Right and the district should be sectioned off.  Also, it should be a fair distance from elementary and secondary schools.  As for Keystone's comment, we're already seeing problems arise ANYWAY.  My plan is to keep prostitutes out of neighborhoods such as Frankford, Port Richmond, or Kensington and have a much safer trade.
