Which the oncologists I posted said they hadn't seen proof of.

I don't know, I've been around heavy pot smokers, before and after. There is a clear change in their overall behavior. And I know people who swear that their kids were perfectly normal and then one day their kids got a vaccination and suddenly they had autism. I just don't buy into it, and when...

I don't buy it. I just showed oncologists who advocate its use and praise its benefits for helping with quality of life and managing side effects, say maybe it can help with some cancer, but the idea you should use it in place of chemo leads people to die.

Absinthe is a fantastic booze, you take that back. Pot isn't amazing for you either and it comes with negatives too. Everything Bacle said about curing cancer is factless propaganda almost as bad as anti-vaxxers because it scares people off things that work but are painful and with heavy side...

Absolutely it can be. Pharisees and that type of behavior would be an example where they make religion into a vice, where it becomes purely about following the rules and lacks all intent and becomes a way purely to show moral superiority over others. You don't think porn can cause any issues...

Access to drugs and a dependency formed through abuse by a pimp.

I think if you are taking people with a drug habit and/or washed up failed LA actors, actresses, singers, etc. and offering them money to do degrading things because they are in a state of desperation that it is exploitative.

Is it more or less exploitative and scummy?

I never said that. I argued that there exists negative effects, that doesn't mean I am arguing that zero positives can be found. I said that in the very beginning, and my post there is what I was originally arguing. No, not an opinion piece article. That was by Psychology Today which reputes to...

Actually I proposed that it is possible to find positive and negative effects within pornography, and said that you don't have to necessarily reject all studies outright that don't conform to your predisposed position. I pointed out even the most harmful of drugs can hold positive effects, that...

That's really what I want to get at here, that it's a vice and its topsy turvy shit to try and make it a virtue. Doesn't mean it should be illegal. But with laws do you think we should have anything better for keeping it away from kids?

Sometimes. They also tend to be drug addicts and exploited heavily, and many apparently paid exceeding little.

Socially? A whole hell of a lot of people in influential parts of the left right now. The No-Nut November meme just got labelled an Alt-right conspiracy, a ton of people are arguing porn is a social good and anyone with an issue with it is a problem. In this thread Terthna, who is arguing...

Legalizing gay marriage is completely and totally separate from the view that homosexuality is a sin, and even that is somewhat less clear cut than this topic. If you ask that everyone be totally fine with viewing and making pornography on a moral level, then yes, you are asking that.

Examples I can think of don't tend to be as completely biblically grounded as this one. Most of those are schisms on papal bulls or disagreements on the nature of Christ or how the bible should be distributed and read. This one cannot be abandoned without abandoning Christianity as a whole...

Being convinced in your interpretation is not the same as picking and choosing which passages to follow. I am also not utterly convinced and am open to other denominations entirely. However, there are some things extremely and clearly spelled out that you cannot justify around, and this is one...

The second definition of the word you. I am saying you to mean adherents to Christianity. You cannot validly totally disregard things in it based on just picking and choosing what you like and dislike. used to refer to the person or people that the speaker is addressing. "are you listening?"...

No, you really don't get to just pick to disregard whatever you want. That's how you get liberal christianity and Pete Buttigieg's brand. This passage is massively clear. I can't say I know exactly why the Apocrypha is the Apocrypha but I am sure there is a reason, and there was debate and many...
