.xxx Domain Names for Porn Sites a Good Idea

There has been a debate going on over whether or not the domain .xxx should be established for porn sites, which would, in effect, create a virtual red-light district on the Internet. Opponents say this would legitimize pornography on the Internet.

What's to legitimize about it? Smut is already there.

However, instead of making the .xxx extension voluntary, which would allow porn sites to maintain their .com sites, it should be required that all XXX sites switch over to .xxx extensions. This would make it easy for parents and schools to block these sites from being viewed.

The porn industry is resisting the idea as they do not want their sites to be filtered easily.

It's too bad that they don't take more civic responsibility in protecting kids and put their trash out on display for everyone to see.

Get with the program, people.
