Things change constantly.
Not too long ago, the majority of Americans believed that gun liberty would result in rampant gun crime and violence.
In the 1950s, congress investigated EC horror comics for influencing children to commit horrible crimes, not grasping that the comics were so horrible that they were funny, and that “bad guys” were always punished in the end, much like the Hays Code for films.
Etc. But it all leads up to sexuality and pornography.
Statistics clearly show that heterosexual, monogamous marriage is far better for children than being raised by a single parent.
But society is still catching up to something it does *not* want to hear, but is a glaring truth. People have a finite supply of energy, focused on procreation and the raising of children.
Yet if people use up too much of that energy on frivolous sexuality, they have less to devote to their children.
Some people have large amounts of energy, but even they are stressed by having and raising children. Many or perhaps even most have *enough* energy, if they conserve it, to have and raise children. But many never had enough energy to do so.
Bluntly, there are many people who should never have children, and a subset of those who should never even have sex, because they have barely enough energy to live.
The human species may actually have a biological reason for things like homosexuality, prostitution, and post-menopausal sexuality. Basically as distractions for those who should not reproduce, so that they do not interfere with those who *should* reproduce. So that they do not interfere with monogamous, heterosexual marriage.
But what about pornography?
Not surprisingly, an abundance of pornography may result in people not wanting to have sex so much. For those who shouldn’t or can’t breed, no problem. However, those who should marry and have children should strictly avoid false sexual stimulation, *or* non-reproductive sex until they are done reproducing and raising their children.
How this latter goal is achieved is the important thing, because it is determinate of human future generations.
Haven’t you heard? This is the age of attention whores!
Whittle, affiliated with PJTV, has some magnificent speeches he has given, he is a highly engaging and funny speaker. He can go back and forth between funny and dead serious in a subtle yet powerful way and I myself like him a lot. Kind of like Mark Steyn, though not so frivolous. Available on YouTube, if you are interested. He recently gave this speech about the assumed moral superiority of the left. Twas good, maybe not one of his best, but he raised this superiority point and I think it is a good one. He makes this point that this is a valid point of attack in lib argument: This assumed moral superiority is absolutely unearned. Like many other things in their bag of tricks.
His analysis of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombings was spot on in terms of refuting the handwringing, constant review we have to hear every year at this time. (Came out last year or yr before) Reco you look it up on YT.
But people who say that have their own set of rules and will judge you for violating it. Try saying, "Who are you to decide that I can't favor white males when I hire people?" "Who are you to decide that I can't be pro-life?" "Who are you to decide that I can't own a gun?" And on and on. Then they become the most judgmental people on earth.
Exactly. It is like freedom of speech. It is a one way ratchet for liberal.
It is only freedom of speech if you agree with them. Otherwise, it is “Hate Speech”.
Back in the days of Freeping the Clintons at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I had a sign with a picture of George Washington with a big tear rolling down his face and the word SHAME.
One day an attractive suburban mother walked by with her young daughter who saw my sign and asked her what “Shame” was. I heard the woman hem and haw and sputter helplessly all the way down the sidewalk - she had no idea.
