umm, nobody needs porn to develop cynical attitudes about “love”. swap “porn” with “life” and that can do it too.
How about this. We establish a .xxx domain and force all porno onto it. That will make it trivial for the rest of us to block it.
Of all the things going on, porn isn’t on my list of things to be concerned about.
Amen to that
I have a friend with deeply cynical attitudes about “love.”
His ex-wife had way more to do with that than porn ever did.
True dat. However, since life today includes porn, it’s kind of a tautology.
Fwiw, I’m not cynical about love. Love is selfless service to those who can do nothing for you in return, and I see it every day in my church. I’m cynical about sex.
I believe pornography does debase society.
I admit when I saw several years ago that Britney Spears had accidentally? shown her privates that I looked.
After looking, I sort of wished I hadn’t.
I 2nd that
That sounds about as possible as cutting in front of MooseChelle Obama at the buffet line....
Agreed. Yes, it's damaging to some. So are a lot of other things.
There's always some nanny-stater who wants to put limits on everyone else.
Some folks just can't leave other people alone.
This is an interesting point. Why are children exposed to pornography? Because adults want access to pornography, and concern for children is peripheral. Why are children doing homework on the Internet? Because that's what's most convenient for adults.
Imagine a school that said, "In order to help protect our students from inappropriate material, this school will have all work done using books, paper, and pencils. Homework will be completed on paper. Research sources will be hard-copy published books and magazines. Note-taking will be done by hand."
Welcome to school in the 1980s (and all previous years), when we got much better test scores than students do today.
Taking the money out of it will help reduce this evil. Porn degrades women and degrades a natural sexual relationship
cynical about sex? sure it’s not cynical about women?
also don’t confuse agape love with romantic love. the stuff you’re describing in church is agape, not romantic.
What is the correlation between murdered black boys in Chicago to porn?
could also be filio/philio? love (brotherly). The NT translations really were innacurate when just using “love” to replace the terms that were different, on purpose - agape like God’s love, philo - brotherly, friendship, and eros - romantic w/sexual component.
i seriously don’t know. maybe i’m missing your point?
A savvy parent can do wonders to limit exposure (no parent can stop everything or pretty much anything).
However, this is an issue about which I simply don’t care. Adults do stupid s**t. Let ‘em. It’s also a First Amendment issue.
This is tying to carry the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, one bucket at a time, walking from West Coast to East Coast.
