Cool, I've made it to Phase Three.Cool, I've made it to Phase Three. I know you don't have a pool!
What's the next stage after FreeRepublic addiction?
Don't remember this in the media accounts.
I once worked in the copying department at a Staples. A middle-aged woman came in with some porn, featuring men, to be copied. The woman was very creepy. As a guy, it gave me a different perspective on the issue.
That is one ridiculous article.
So, I guess you're not going to post any pics..............
No kidding!
Shhh don't tell the cold hearted self serving LIBERALtarians about this. They wish to fantasize that it is a "victimless crime".
I once read that Lynn Riggs who wrote the play, based all the characters on real people.
Christ told us that the gates of Hell will not prevail against His church (Matthew 16:18). I think it's a safe bet that Satan is using pornography (among many other tools) as one method to destroy the Family - thereby weakening the Church from the outside.
It is no secret that pornography destroys lives. It divides couples, it devalues people, and it creates false expectations. It's these false expectations, that when people are inundated with it, have trouble gaining and maintaining relationships.
Fewer teens are engaging in sexual activity than in the past, and those that do are more likely to use contraceptives, the government said Friday.
The National Center for Health Statistics said that for girls aged 15 to 17 the percentage who had ever had intercourse declined from 38 percent in 1995 to 30 percent in 2002.
For boys, the agency said, the decline was 43 percent to 31 percent. [end excerpt]
Why did their eyes open and they became confused? Because they accused God of making them erotic and taking advantage of them. From advocacy to selfish advocacyless living, they became confused: they needed God's advocacy but either did not trust it anymore or tried to extort/accuse God the way the Devil wanted them to do it.
First they were marveled at each other and then, after biting the fruit, they became like hungry for each other. Adam was into her spirit like figure and Eve was into his raw meat and power figure. Instead of sharing lordship, they would overlord it over each other, the anxiety not helping either and feeding back.
The act, instead of being one of enjoying God's generosity, became god itself, something to crucify oneself for. It had revenge like implicit messages, that if you did not get any, you would not be satisfied. It became impossible to say no.
Pornography has indeed that resounding message on it that makes it difficult to say no to it, and whether or not pornography addicts become killers, it clouds their judgment every time and the act of begging or crucifying oneself for that makes it all the more obsene. Any hard want and need is what makes a good soldier, accoriding to Naopleon, wants and needs are inherently threatening.
OF course there are accademic legitimacies into every phenomena, including pornography. Abstinance can in fact be worse and actualy hypocritical because it would reject the act of having to repent or to have to deal with it. Replacing indiference for the individual in pornography with complete indiference or neglect of appreciation and marveling at God's creation is a sin too. Suffering for it means to take custody, to make a payment for it. Who pays has custody. Of course there is a difference between actual useful custodial suffering and pretend suffering for sake of artificial attracting attention or pity.
Ultimately one never gets punished for doing the wrong thing, but for doing the right thing. Christ paid, so He should have ultimate custody and all that is done should be on behalf of His custody and surrendering to Him, enhancing the Lordship as He did. "If the right hand makes you sin, cut it off", and that should be true of pornographic interest. Sin is not doing a bad deed per say, but it is most importantly to not surrender custody once harm has been done. If one wants to keep custody, one should repair the harm done. If one is incapable of taking on the responsibility of repairing the harm done, then one should never have custody and dare others in charge to pay and care appropriately. One should never pay for what he has no custody of except in acts of love and surrender of custody to a loved one of future generation or to God.
Pornography harms in that it is bad advocacy for persons or things of no interest or advocacy stake in question, in the guise of "I don't care" hypocrite pretense of wish to be not recognized. It is the essence of self-deceit and denial. Sex is a particular form of law enforcement. Everything is law enforcement in general, and sex is a particular peculiar case of law enforcement interaction, which can deviate into a cult like surrogate law enforcement authority for desire. Deviation is the negation of advocacy structures and contracts of care.
What started as a gentle form of mutual bribery - in holy matrimony for the sake of creation of future generations and advocates of God and family - has degenerated into extortion business and mutual vengefulness between parties: women exposing themselves threaten vengeful acts, depending on who looks and how one looks, if arousing attraction, and some men, the rapist types, threaten vengeful acts against exposed women if they do not comply to their desires.
Whether it is men consuming pornography or women exposing themselves to all winds, the act is reprehensible. Women, in the US, however, are much more open about exposing themselves arrogantly and with impunity, while my experience has been that men tend to look intently but are more sly about it, though some go actualy gay like and seem to groom themselves worse obsessively and suggestively than women at times.
Pornography appeals only to our darkest, most base appetites.
No, it appeals to yours. Seeing as you've already cited the CCW, the likelihood that you could speak for anyone other than yourself is exceedingly small, if not non-existant.
There is nothing 'good' about it.
Really? The free market screams otherwise. Not suprised that you missed it.
It cannot be said of it that it promotes dignity, honor, trustworthiness, selfcontrol, selfrespect, decency, fidelity, commitment, or any other of the virtues.
So the hell what? If you don't like it, don't view or purchase it.
It promotes and breeds everything ugly, dark, vile, and foul.
No, it doesn't.
Every user of it regresses to the cellar by becoming a 'peeping tom', and that is just the beginnng of the slide downwards.
Every poster of CCW matertial inevitably becomes an adult-onset tard.
You are so right. I think pornography should be banned and we should legalize hookers... on every corner. Hookers will help stop pornography and will also help the local economy.
Some of the most repressive regimes in the world have failed to stamp out pornography. For example, pre-revolutionary France failed to stop pornographic literature being widely distributed within the country, much of it anti-clerical in nature. And that was in a time when a printing press required a building and was not easily transported away.
With the internet, it is damn near impossible to ban pornography. The best we can do is try to encourage a moral rebirth, and fostering healthy sexual attitudes; this happens one family at a time.
