- Good idea, but they can't categorize all porn.
  Some porn sites operate off of template sites like blogspot or other forum sites that host non-porn sites as well. You can't ask blogspot to use the .xxx domain.
  There will always be unregulated porn on the internet.

- What a horrible, shitty idea that will kill free speech.bitchandmoan. Seriously, this is a good idea. We place controls on things kids shouldn't have like cigarettes and alcohol and should do the same for porn.commonsense.

  Porn is art and art is porn. To ban or restrict porn would be to restrict or close down art museums.

  art is art a nude body standing is art..a nude body in sexually explicit positions and situations is porn.
  
  porn is poison and smut...people who promote PORN are no different from rapists and child molesters..AND SHOULD BE EXECUTED

- as long as noone forces people to use the domain. Porn sites should be allowed to migrate naturally. Considering the porn industry's long history of taking advantage new technological developments, it shouldn't take long.
