Hmmmm. Nothing like a little hyperbole, generalization, and bigotry to liven up a thread, no?

Including the guy that takes matters in hand while slobbering over the plastic airbrushed "Pet of the Month" with Ted Bundy or a pedoperv is way over the top.

So was your comment. Bigotted hyperbole is'nt pretty no matter which direction it comes from.

[StoneColdGOP]

He's not an ordained minister, but he's a licensed psychologist and one of THE most respected members of the conservative movement.

Dobson? There's no law against kooks getting degrees and licences.

I never said I want gov't control. As a Christian, I believe the Bible to be true and authoritative. God consistently condemns "pornea", the Greek word from which we get "pornography."

If you do not believe God to be correct, that is your privilege. However, I believe God is correct and that means pornography is wrong.

You want to watch it - up to you. I will continue to say it is wrong and speak against it.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

As the article says, a fleeting though gives way to fantacizing which in turn gives way to pornography which gives way to obsessing which leads to rape and child molesting.

Yeah exactly right - I can't wait till the kids are around to kick on Chicks w/ D$%^& in the dvd player.

[Modernman]

If these folks truly believed porn *isn't* wrong they'd have no problem "enjoying" it in front of their children and grandchildren.

Would you have sex with your wife in front of your kids or grandkids?

Would you shower in front of them?

Would you watch Schindler's List with a 5 year-old?

I would imagine that the answer to these questions is no. So, is there anything wrong with any of these things?

[Central Scrutiniser]

Girl, you always get attacked, good for you!

Hope all is well!

[sgtbono2002]

Yes ---If everyone who viewed porn was a rapist pedophile there wouldnt be a male or female virgin over 8 left in the world. Although I am sure most sex criminals have probably viewed porn, I doubt it was the porn that made them into a sex criminal.

Do you have sex in front of your children and grandchildren?

[King Prout]

yanno, I wouldn't let a kid of mine skydive before he or she reached a level of maturity needed to handle the experience.

does that mean I am ashamed of having enjoyed jumping out of airplanes?

your arguments are full of logical errors.
please take a moment to examine them critically.

[Beth528]

Thanks for explaining that to me..I am not a prude but can't see why anyone would want to visit a site like that.

[squarebarb]

Yes, exactly.

And their hints or outright statements that they are addicted to porn are alway so cutesy-clever, so full of smirky pathetic humor. Because people who are subject to compulsions and addictions always know that they are less than fully adult, far less.

[chris1]

Some of these people are truly no different than the Taliban, only to a lesser degree. Ooops, I am using their logic.

[Zavien Doombringer]

hehe

[freebilly]

You better not like anything other than male-superior missionary position without barriers, or they'll be coming (so to speak) after you next.

Sure....

[AntiGuv]

Yes.

They know it's wrong.

I certainly don't. Why don't you explain it to me?

If these folks truly believed porn *isn't* wrong they'd have no problem "enjoying" it in front of their children and grandchildren.

That is a lie, as has already been demonstrated. I wouldn't have sex in front of my children, and that certainly isn't because there's anything inherently wrong with sex. I wouldn't even have had the sex that conceived them in front of my children. I wouldn't do a number of things in front of my children simply because they are children and the things in question are inappropriate for children, even though appropriate for adults.

Maybe you are a mental child, but I am not. And, if I so choose I will do the things that are appropriate for adults in their context regardless of whether they are appropriate for children.

[tacticalogic]

They try to both justify and conceal, which is what all of these people who are pro-porn are doing on this thread.

You don't have to be pro-porn to take issue with so-called "experts" who are telling people to encourage their national representatives to pass laws that are outside the Constitutional powers of the national government. Doesn't anyone on this thread remember the concept of "enumerated powers"? It's like you say "porn" and everyone's head empties.

[Bluchers Elephant]

the term's real popularity comes from the simpsons. in one episode where homer becomes a missionary to flee a vengeful PBS he protests "I can't be a missionary! I don't even believe in Jebus!" and later cries out "Oh save me Jebus !".

[conserv13]

I am leaving this thread and going home (maybe to watch porn!), but I am glad you are here and posting sane arguments.

Thanks

Men are more visually stimulated than women. I saw a show that had done a study of sex from the ancient to the modern era on the History Channel. It explained why you have "butt" guys and "chest" guys and why they are the same :)
