Hence your screen name. Dead is dead. Sucks to be you
Are you saying that automobile manufacturers have never been held liable for the problems that occur from the use of their product? I seem to remember quite a few cases.
What percentage of the population watches "porn"?
What percentage of the population are sexual predators?
It seems many on this thread are confusing CHILD pornography with ADULT pornography.
I think that you need to be more specific in defining pornography, then.
Is Playboy porn? Penthouse? Hustler? R-rated movies (just sex, no violence)? How about violent R-rated movies (no sex). How about non-violent X rated movies?
I guess the problem is where is the line drawn. One man's obscenity is another man's pleasure.

No but by being a customer in the larger market, and keeping up demand, you help make it available to the sickos who really do harm. Of course it's your right, but you are in denial if you think the porn isn't affecting you in some way.
Abortion is murder. So you're saying porn is murder ?
What color is the sky on your planet ?
Lines need to be drawn or we will spin into chaos. Moral relativism leads to chaos.
Shifting lines in the sand are a tool of the left to break down society.
I don't care what other people do BUT I want a holy,christian marriage and pornography has no place in it. Think about the number of things in porn that are bad for a marriage. Plus, if it doesn't occur to you that a husband watching porn and not paying attention to his wife is disrespectful then I wonder.
And do think it was right?
Yep watching abnormality on tv is indeed part of a normal lifestyle... NOT! I agree with you.
Suppose the brain is like a muscle in that it adapts to its environment.
If you lift weights repeatedly, and stress your muscles, they will respond by making such a lift easier.
If you run thoughts through your mind repeatedly, especially ones that are obsessive, after a while it gets hard to stop those thoughts.
Now, how do we control thoughts? Should we even try?
I say no. But we *do* inform people of the consequences of engaging in pornography, and we *should* be able to define it as destructive to society and thereby ban its sale and distribution.
If someone wants to imagine sick thoughts..or even draw them for personal use (destruction) I guess its a free country. If they want to distribute their sickness, it should be within the right and responsibility of society to stop that.
Now how do we define pornography? I think that anything that links children, violence or animals or sex in any combination is subject to consideration as pornography.
Abortion is murder. So you're saying porn is murder ?
What color is the sky on your planet ?
The point being that if you replace the word porn with any other illicit or immoral behavior you get the classic leftist argument that anyone should be able to do anything as long as it is regulated by the state.
They're both wicked in my mind. Has no place in a marriage, not a christian one anyway.
Prostitution is socially unacceptable.
Pornography is just videotaped prostitution.
If prostitution is illegal, videotaping prostitution should be also.
I never said it couldn't. But could it cause someone to get violent? Well, sure, I suppose it could, if you're a muslim. But civilized people... Hmmm...
So tell me... If I were to send you an email with a photo of a naked woman, would you then go out and rape a woman?
Maybe you should be locked up, or maybe we should just outlaw email, or maybe we should just have everyones' eyes put out.
