Good one, Dimensio. I have serious problems when porn is pushed in our kids' faces against our will. I (and they) see it in the QuickCheck in our suburban NJ community, it's sent in our E-mails (and I cannot allow our kids to use our E-mail unless we check it first), it's common to pop up on the computer screens by accident, it's increasingly on TV, even during family hours, naked (and aroused) men and women peer out at us from a great many newsstands in New York City, it's widely distributed in our public high schools (and school officials do little to stop that), and finally, it's visible to kids in our town public library as people get their porn fixes on the public dime. I think a lot of damage has been done to kids. It's sad.
You left out "thinking for yourself."
From within plain and simple. From the family unit to the churches, it is the hidden sin that no one has to know about but has absolute outside consequences. It has destroyed families, marriages, pastors, men and women alike. By causing us to give into our most base physical needs.
But of course, we 'want' to do it, there's not a law against it, so it's okay right? There is a higher moral law that this nation once followed but no more. We're too advanced socially to do anything like that, aren't we?
You wish...well sort of...he's mighty uglee. I've been around him at a club in Lauderdale a dozen years ago. He was sweaty and stinky....probably snorting a lot of local blow.
Seriously, I'm ambivalent on this topic. I do agree our morality is pretty shabby and many folks...liberals in particular have substituted feeling or thinking good for being "responsible". This other trend of earth/goddess/Gaia paganism which elevates plant and animal life over humans also troubles me as immoral. Why do more folks fret over brutalized pets than they do over dead babies?
Yep, we are FUBAR morality-wise but I'm reluctant to place all the blame at the feet of abandoning sexual mores. It's a lot more than that. The Porn explosion is in my view more a symptom than a cause.

No it's merely a coincidence that you find child porn with molesters.
LOL! Dude, I'm sorry....
See, see what you have wrought by linking to porn!
Babylonian and Junior's dads will never be the same.

Junior's dad's deceased, so odds are he won't be changing anytime soon.
You may like to believe that, but it's not true. Humans have always been promiscuous, no matter what church they belonged to or how piously they preached their own chastity. It just used to be kept much quieter in the past.
Name a decade, name a century, it doesn't matter. Husbands and wives were still cheating on each other, and single people were having sex with multiple partners.
Hey, remember Caligula?
