WKB,

it is not that we who disagree with you on this are simple-minded, it is that your point is itself too simple-minded for us to bother refuting over and over again.

You keep claiming that failure to show porn to children indicates in some way that we recognize that porn is unwholesome.

Not so.

As I said in an earlier post: I would not allow a kid of mine to skydive until he or she was mature enough to handle the activity. This in no way indicates that I am ashamed of having jumped out of airplanes or that I am ashamed to have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
(Nor, for that matter, does this experience or my enjoyment of it indicate that I am "addicted" to it.)

Skydiving is serious adult fun, not to be meddled with or dabbled in by those unready for it... and a kid ain't ready for it.

Similarly, though I have trained seven-year-olds in the proper care and use of a Ruger 10-22 .22cal.lr, I have not and will not teach one so young to handle a 3"magnum 12ga shotgun or a bullpup AK47 - the kid ain't ready for it.

"The kid isn't mature enough for it" does not equate to "it is unwholesome because I will not get a kid involved in it."

If at this point you cannot see the error in the argument you have been presenting, there is no hope anyone will ever make it clearer to you.
