New evidence shows porns kicks off a chemical addition (pleasure center in the brain, like heroin)linked to behaviorial changes...antisocial, addictive behavior.

I'll look for the news item again.

And that is relavant how? Non-pornographic images case chemical "reactions" in the brain for everyone - we call them emotions - when a picture makes us sad, angry, smile, etc...

Pretty much anything in society has an ability to affect us all in different ways. For some people, Food triggers that "Pleasure Center", for others it's music, for some it's candy, or religion, for some people it's nothing, or... on and on and on.

Should we ban all that too, because they may have an adverse effect on an individual, thereby causing a breakdown in society?

At least try to stick to reasonable arguments, ok? :)

I think that anything that is addictive is unhealthy for the addicted person. I think that anything that is degrading is unhealthy for the degraded person. In pornography both the addict and the object are cruelly victimizing each other and are being victimized by all of the panderers and abusers who facilitate the activity. Some say that porn can be non-addictive or non-degrading, like alcohol, but I just can't wrap my brain around that concept. It's just pure denial. And if you admit that it is addictive and/or degrading, then you have to confess that it is evil.
