I say let them have what they want. When their marriage is destroyed and they are eat up with VD, or when their daughters show up between the pages, they should just STFU.
This article and all of the "scientific" findings of the APA are just political attitudes wrapped in scientific arguments.
So they examine the brain do they? It shows heightened electromagnetic activity when exposed to porn does it?
Guess what, the brain produces various levels of electromagnetic activity all the time.
If someone pisses you off during the day guess what? The electrical and chemical processes of your brain change. Wow, obviously your brain changes in relation to all sorts of external stimuli.
They said the same damn thing about video games for gods sake. I have been reading some books that make me stay up late at night, I just can't put them down to get a good nights sleep. Am I addicted to books? LOL! I'm sure my brain would have some wild patterns while I was reading "Mote in Gods Eye." ,but I don't qualify this as an addiction.
I see a pretty girl and I am attracted to her. I'm damn sure if these folks looked at my brain during this, they would go nuts. Guess what? I'm not ADDICTED to pretty girls, I just LIKE them. Like is not an addiction.
I am trying to make a point about thier reasoning and I hope I got my message across.
It seems to me like the new science wants to elimate ALL personal choice in behavior. So there will be no choice, just genetics and addiction for any type of behavior imaginable.
Oh, and if you can't fit behavior into those two categories, you can say that evil corporations tricked you into acting like you did. I'm fat, it's McDonalds fault for thier relentless advertising. I smoke, the tobacco companies MADE me smoke.
I denounce the whole damn phenemonen of making personal choice irrelevant. It is a farce, and a stream of thought that is fraudulent and needs to be destroyed.
Arioch7 out.
What about ALL the images of the Hildebeast that have been seared into our brains since 1992?
More junk science like creationism. Make it up as you go along to make it look like you want.
I feel like my wife is addicted to criticizing me. I think she gets an endorphin-like rush for using certain critical phrases that she has used during 10 years of our marriage. These key phrases are burned in both of our brains.
Today she called me into the kitchen to show me some plastic placemats she had placed on top of the gas burners. She wanted to point them out to me to make sure I wouldn't be too stupid to turn on the gas burners with them still on top, because of course they would melt and burn. Upon my direct questioning she confirmed that she actually thinks I am that stupid when I cook my eggs before I go to work.
There's a verse in the bible where it talks about the criticisms of a wife being corrosive to a man, and believe me I feel that every day now.
I should not have entered this room...I don't want to hear the discussion.
No more true of porn than of any other exciting activity, e.g., skydiving or bungee-jumping. Guess porn-banning "conservatives" will go after those activities next.
These fancy-pants doctors confuse me with all their scientific words, but if they're talking about the money shot, I don't think the actors are aiming for the actresses' brains. But I could be wrong...
Simply put, this is the most ridiculous statement I've ever read on this site...and, believe me, there have been plenty of ridiculous things to see here the past six years.
What does porn have to do with a big gray crain-like bird?
this is your brain on heroin
this is your brain on porn
this is your brain on free republic
see any difference? i couldn't :-)
heroine sounds like fun, I'll be sure to stick it in the vcr at the next bachelor party.
