And I trust cancer basically disappearing from people's bodies.

Have to admit that weed stinks though. ;) All kinds of them where I live, and if you happen to step on one, bleh! Not as many as you'd think. And mostly negatives come from smoking it, because smoking anything is not really all that healthy for your lungs. :LOL: Dude, I know people alive...

It's also had some notable effects in combating cancer and in dealing with numerous other medical conditions, but research into it and its effective ingredients has been retarded for decades thanks to the work of moral busybodies who use the circular logic of "It's bad because it's illegal" and...

Usually quite a bit of money, the women especially. A great example of this is Emily DaVinci, who paid for her undergraduate degree by doing porn. Apparently she's a fairly prominent lecturer with a PhD at some university in Texas these days, working in the nanotech field. I guess most...

Depends. It would be easy to say that it could be considered more scummy because sex/nudity is involved, but I'd argue that there are other industries that exploit the people working for them as bad or worse, and that since it's business as usual for them rather than an exception that the court...

Sure, but then so can any industry. Doesn't change my stance on porn overall, especially as I see this as justice being done. And one of the positives of it being legal is that it can be regulated and watched like any other industry as well, so that people like this have legal recourse rather...

You come up with some of the worst comparisons. Like what you said, really has no connection to the topic at hand other than what might be in your own imagination.

As it applies to human sexuality, yeah. At best it's a rationalization for your argument that finding someone sexually attractive is somehow sinful. Freedom. But does not wanting Judaism to enforce their social stigma against eating pork on everyone who isn't a member of their religion the...

Me rolling my eyes is my reaction to that entire spiel. I don't really have to. Others have already illustrated that the studies you are holding up are obviously biased. Nothing takes away from that. So by your logic, we should all stigmatize eating pork, or we don't want Jews to exist...

:rolleyes: You aren't really making an effective argument against the studies you're holding up being unbiased. Yes, I understand that you think you can somehow have it both ways, but you can't because there are enough people like myself who see no reason to stigmatize porn. Arguing that this...

I don't see porn as a problem. There, I said it. :D

Because making people ashamed of a natural aspect of themselves is pitiable, because it's not really something you can rid yourself of. All your studies have been based in a biased viewpoint, and this has been pointed out by others. You pulled out the Bible for what amounted to an argument...

Part of me pities you. In order to make that possible, it'd have to be legislated, particularly for the reasoning that you're using. Remember, you're the one who went from trying to argue science (however flawed as those studies might be as they have obvious agendas) to pulling out the Bible...

I thought I already outed myself an atheist and a secularist. I don't hate Christians or Christianity per say, but I don't want religion to be legislated, which is why I've verbally slapped down The Name of Love so hard in these threads. So I'd say your argument is pretty disingenuous. It...

Nope. They'd just set up new sites, use the stuff people already have on their computers, make more stuff, and keep right on going. You'd inconvenience some people for a few days and that's about it.

Stigma is something that is socialized, not biological in nature. Advocating for it is what gets you called a moral busybody, FYI. ;)

I'm not even just talking entertainment - I have little doubt that most industries have questionable morality and beliefs and also engage in some questionable practices. I guess I look at that and come to the opposite conclusion, which is that sex ed should cover those social and psychological...

Hardly the only industry guilty of that. This is why good sex education is so important. Yet conservatives screech the same way about that as liberals do when I suggest that we should also have gun safety courses in public schools.

I'm going to have to press X to doubt. If one is not in a relationship this is hardly a problem. And while it may come as a shock to some people, some couples actually watch porn together to help get them in the mood, and for ideas, if you know what I mean. ;) So I'm not really seeing much...

How?
