that cats already out of the bag, there is not putting in back in.
Wrong. It needs to be eliminated.
....because every problem gets solved when the government passes even more laws than we now have. (And the FBI can spy on an elected president with no consequences.)
I know it when I see it......................
And what else would you regulate? We are already fighting censorship by the big social media and search engines. Do you want the government to get involved in what amounts to 1st amendment speech?
Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a piece of art featuring nude figures, and pornography? Is there a difference?
In A Pilgrim’s Regress, C.S. Lewis wrote about a man who ordered milk and eggs from a waiter in a restaurant. After tasting the milk he commented to the waiter that it was delicious. The waiter replied, “Milk is only the secretion of a cow, just like urine and feces.” After eating the eggs he commented on the tastiness of the eggs. Again the waiter responded that eggs are only a by-product of a chicken. After thinking about the waiter’s comment for a moment the man responded, “You lie. You don’t know the difference between what nature has meant for nourishment, and what it meant for garbage.”
Ravi Zacharias notes that while both art and pornography utilize nude figures, the purpose/motives for portraying the naked body are definitively distinct. Pornography utilizes nude figures for the pure purpose of stimulating the baser instincts of individuals; instincts that will not be satisfied by that alone. Art, on the other hand, utilizes nude figures for the purpose of highlighting the beauty of man. While pornography engenders lust, art engenders admiration for the glory and beauty of the human body, and thus the glory of its Maker.
Pornography is a symptom. The disease is spiritual. And the only real cure is God.
Mainstream media causes more problems, in my opinion.
If the government could regulate CNN and MSNBC and the NYT and other outlets and force them to stop lying and accurately report the news, that would be great, I think that should be a top priority. Once that problem is solved, we could consider other regulations.
Though small, there’s a group of men trying to get men to return to what should be important to men. No porn is a part of that...FWIW.
( on Twitter)
Sex is icky and no one should ever be naked...
Haven’t we had enough evidence that if you put government in control of vices, you only create more victims.
“Government needs to save us from ourselves” means you’ve already lost the argument.
There is this innerweb thingie....
Nude modeling is one thing, porn is another.
Porn is gay.
All of it.
100%
Realize that and it loses its appeal.
But, I doubt you'll perceive such. Addicts are always illogical, defensive and very protective of their habits.
Porn tax in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5...............
"Acts of capitalism between consenting Adults."
Or do you really have so much faith in government that you'd let them regulate what happens in your bedroom?
So.... Sounds like you have some issues you need to work through. You are projecting a bit there...
I used to go to a chatroom and one of the chatters posted a picture of the statue of David by Michelangelo? The room owner banned the picture, which I thought was laughable, but then some have dirty minds.
“Sounds like you have some issues you need to work through. You are projecting a bit there...”
No. Watching “aroused” men taking care of business, with close ups, is gay. I won’t go into further detail, but the focus is obvious. Comedian Ron White did a bit on that. Pretty funny.
