Playboy magazine contains pornography, beyond any doubt.
A hypothetical, Miss B.
You're cleaning your teenage son's room one Saturday and find a Playboy magazine. Do you...
a) Throw it in the trash and rebuke him
b) Set it on his nightstand.
Yes, moreso than straight sex... but straight sex can be unsafe as well. I don't think the increased dangers of legal sodomy can balance the infringement on our individual freedoms if it were criminalized. Would we have a "Sodomy Police?"
Of course it is.
Or perhaps by "porn" you meant "hardcore porn." You have to be accurate in your descriptions, or your meaning can get lost.
(shhh, we need those crazy liberatarians to win)
I don't see things as moral or immoral. Moral is an opinion, isn't it? Society sets morality. In Fundemental Islamic Society a woman without a burka is immoral. I see things as right or wrong, and right and wrong is universal.
Do you not see a distinction between 1.) whether something is morally right or wrong, and 2.) whether the government has any business regulating it?
ohh, good point, alright alright, it is porn.
:-)
Prostitution is not something exclusively involving adults.
in this sense it is. Pornography is not something exclusively involving adults either, but in this discussion, it has been defined as such to avoid confusion.
The supposed 18 year old old,who claims that she's done "extensive research on pornography", is yet again proving that she is either a fill fledged moron, or really bad at play acting being 1)a female 2)18.
Call up the rest of RBKA...this is just the kind of thread that needs all of us here. :-)
Don't confuse me with context. 8>) IMHO, Playboy = porn. My wife says so.
That is the exact libertarian problem. They have more trouble than conservatives in realizing right from wrong and want most vices open to the public like vitamins.
IMO they are borderline anarchists.
Their civilization IMO would look like "Escape from New York" the movie.
I never said I did extensive research. I've read some essays on both viewpoints. Stop being rude.
Throw it away and punish him, the same think I would do if he was smoking but that doesn't mean I wish the government to stop those above the age of 18 from having/doing either.
She's supposedly all of 18.....don't ask her a hypothetical like that,she doesn't think that anyone outside of N.Y.C. (where she supposedly does NOT live!) is a stock broker/bond broker/lawyer/doctor/etc. and can't imagine HOW they make a living! ROTFLOL
With the proliferation of the internet, banning porn is all but impossible.
Feeling non sequitur today?
Never read "Harry Potter" but I know it's porn.
Pornography has 11 letters and so does Harry Potter.
Coincidence?
I think not.
