[AntiGuv]

That is incorrect. God is an Absolute, the Bible is an absolute and the teachings are an absolute. So if God tells you what is right and wrong, who are you to decide which is false and invalid?

That is your opinion. I regard your opinion as false and invalid. Absolutely so.

[TightyRighty]

These guys, including myself, are tired of hearing the same old tired excuses and find it easier to watch porn than to beg for sex from their wife who would find it more pleasing to go visit her parents or spend time with her friends' kids or something.

It sounds like you just plain stink in the bedroom! Maybe you need lessons or something because it sounds like the porn ain't teaching you anything.

[Freebird Forever]

So according to you, anyone who believes porn is immoral is the "Christian Taliban".

Don't be a twit.

You are free to hold any view on any topic you so choose. Just don't force me to hold the same viewpoint.

Folks like you are no better than the worst leftist scum.

And Heaven is full of folks just like you, huh?

[WKB]

I like porn




Do you watch it with your children and grandchildren?

[conserv13]

...particular gift from Satan.

Are you saying porn is a gift from Satan?

Thanks Satan!

[Zavien Doombringer]

secondly, Porn is not good in any context. Therefore, by an absolute, is porn bad or is it good? What is bad cannot be good, not in part but the whole.

[MarkL]

I think the logic here is that, since all pedophiles look at porn, anybody who looks at porn is a potential pedophile.

And since Ted Bundy looked at porn, everybody who looks at porn is a potential serial killer.

Do I have that right?

Yup! You've got it... That's why when a man with a penis rapes a woman, then all men are potential rapists (per Catherine McKinnon/Andrea Dworkin). Since all female prostitutes have vaginas, all women are potential prostitues.

That's the way these people think.

[Melas]

As the article says, a fleeting though [sic] gives way to fantacizing which in turn gives way to pornography which gives way to obsessing which leads to rape and child molesting.

Well, obviously by your logic above, we need to outlaw fleeting thoughts. We should pay especially close attention to our friends and family, and if we see one of them having any fleeting thoughts, we should kill them.

[Antonello]

If the fear of the law doesn't stop them, then the law must be much harsher. I'll volunteer for the firing squad and provide my own gun and ammo.

Apply that same plan of action to gun control and you won't be able to provide your own gun and ammo.

[TightyRighty]

Yes, thanks for sharing but I was addressing someone who seems to have chronic problems in the bedroom.

[Zavien Doombringer]

hmm, in any case, you are entitled to your opinion.

However you don't believe in absolutes then. God is the supreme absolute. to not believe in God, you don't have a standard for truth.

[conserv13]

I too enjoy watching damaged, molested girls coked or tweaked out of their minds...

I go to the strip clubs for that.

[chris1]

If your definition of cheating is focsung attention away, how about all the attention so many women divert from their husbands in favor of the following:

1. Shopping;
2. Visiting friends and their kids constantly;
3. etc etc.

Most guys will agree with me that they, not the woman, if often the one with the short end of the stick in this department and are left hanging whewn it comes to their needs being met, not the other way around.
How many guys ever say the following:

1. I can't I have a headache (See a doctor)
2. I can't I'm tired (That's funny, you seemed fine running around the mall)

3. I can't I'm not in the mood (Can't you make a better excuse than that?)

4. I can't I'm busy. (Boy, updating your PDA really must be vital!)

And on and on and on. And you question me? Ha!

Ask a guy to be honest with you and he will tell you exactly the same as I am.

By the way, I never looked at woman with the hope or desire that she would help me cheat. I don't cheat, period.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No, I did not and it is absurd to even think that.

[tacticalogic]

A crowd of people gathered on Capitol Hill last Thursday to hear experts* in obscenity law and sexual crimes speak

snip

Encourage your local and national representatives to make laws to protect Americans from obscenity.

Perhaps these experts* can tell me under what Constituionally enumerated power I should be encouraging my representative to have the national government enact pornography legislation.

[AntiGuv]

secondly, Porn is not good in any context.

That is your opinion. I regard your opinion as absolutely false and invalid. If you think you can persuade me otherwise, then feel free to present a rational argument to that end.

Therefore, by an absolute, is porn bad or is it good?

Porn as a class is not one or the other. I already said that. Just as sex as a class is not one or the other, or driving as a class is not one or the other, or if we want to get silly, trees as a class are not one or the other.

What is bad cannot be good, not in part but the whole.

Obviously you are wrong. That is because your opinion is false and invalid and moreover because you are presenting a circular false dilemma. My response just above clearly and rationally illustrates why this final statement is false and invalid.

[k2blader]

The term "Christian Taliban" is exactly the same rhetoric we see from the worst leftist scum, so the statement stands.

And Heaven is full of folks just like you, huh?

Maybe. If I can I'll let you know when I get there. :-)

[Modernman]

Do you watch it with your children and grandchildren?

Do you give your kids scotch to drink or give them your cigars?

Or, could it be that some things in this world aren't meant for kids?

[steve-b]

Puh-leeze -- a half-dozen people all independently infer the same thing, and you deny that you implied it?

[chris1]

I know that, but tell that to a man whose every once of life and biology tells him differently?
