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? :)
A porn thread on Free Republic? Now I've seen everything. ;)
Gimme a break.
Food sustains life you twit.
Food has intrinsic value--yes it can be abused (overeating etc), but it has inherent value and is necessary for us to survive.
Porn does not..it destroys, addicts and tears apart depth of connection between humans and that most essential component--empathy. Instead, breeding mysoginy and the opposite of connection--expoitation. And a perfect platform for a coarse, cynical world. It's ripping us apart now, right now.
Go back to your seedy appetite--aren't you missing some porn time?
