Porn and Sexual Americans?

As for Pornography, I think there are zealots who would replace the word PORN with GUNS, DRUGS, SUVs and Tobacco.
They would be just as wrong as you are. It is not the vice that does damage, but the unwise person caught up in the vice.

As for Sexual Americans, I think you realize that without them, none of us would be here. There is nothing wrong with Sex, but there is a lot wrong with spending time focusing on Wrong-things, instead of on wrong-doers.

You're right. That's the downside of the pornography superhighway. And it's a very big downside. We have sown the seeds. We should be reaping the whirlwind shortly.

Yawn...

Why not address the real problem in society? Lack of harsh punishment for crime. Lack of parents disciplining their children. Lack of equal standards in the law. Lack of a backbone to stand up to crime.

If a man or woman wishes to pose nude for what ever reason, I have no problem with it as long as it is consensual. Same goes if they want to have sex and video tape it. I honestly don't care. If the person is under 18 or is forced into the act, sure, then we have a problem. As for someone with the ability to make decisions for themselves, I would think that they should be insulted, offended, and degraded that someone would presume to make decisions about another persons life.

We must each be responsible for our own actions. That is what makes America strong. By delegating responsibility to a very few for the many, you take away our freedom and strength.

Hang on to the myth that sex is the evil that will destroy man. Just don't presume to force your views on me.

Mike

What about "magic" mushrooms. We cannot forget that they get to be the death of America too! Equality for vices!

I'm stunned and sad that a large majority on this thread (and I suppose the Free Republic) don't see this as a serious problem.

I think maybe cultural conservatives should accept that the country has a long, dark road ahead before it will again emerge in the light.

I read that pornography dulls the senses and makes one insensitive. Don't know for myself as I don't indulge. Based on some of the flames thrown your way I wonder!

So, it looks like the vast majority of Freepers are alchohol drinking, pot smoking, gun loving, porn users. Unbelievable.

So, the's the party?

You don't need a PhD in Religious Studies to know that belief in God requires behavior modification.

Thoughout history, and continuing until now, specifics will always be debated about exactly what God's commandments really are.

These debates seem to sidetrack the big law: Love God with your heart, soul and resources. That speaks to sexuality. Obsessive addiction to sex is wrong.

It's no "trend". It's part of the intended slow march to communism, which involves breaking down all other institutions: church, community, family, morals, etc. So that all you have left to "rely" on is The State.

here's how I think we should handle this issue; Congress should pass a law requiring every ISP to ask each customer if they want porn screened out. For those who want it screened out, then this service should be free of charge to the customer. If they don't want it screened out, then that customer should be taxed at $3 a month. In this way far fewer people would get into porn because they would not want to pay that $3 fee every month, thus they would not be tempted by it. It would be far less ubiquitous, but anyone who wanted it could still get it.

I am amused by people who get so upset about perverts killing children because we're going to have a lot more such perverts each generation thanks to the predominance of porn. Yet these same people don't want to exercise simple common sense to minimize the problem.

We have the FDA to protect us from drugs and food that is harmful to us. We have the EPA to protect us from chemicals and other bad things in the environment. We have OSHA to mandate safe work procedures and conditions.

Yes Terrorist won't be the death of America but Porn & Sexual Americans will.

The only way Porn will be harmful is if your stack of Hustler magazines falls on you.

Sex is wonderful. It's always been wonderful. It will always be wonderful. That will not change. However, porno just cheapens it, and degrades the people who indulge in it.
