Pr0n's Effect On Society

Rytis writes "An article at the Financial Times is analysing the growing impact of internet pornography, the phenomena itself and the problems that it causes to our society. Surveys within Great Britain have shown that more than a half of 9-19 years olds have seen pornography online. From the article: 'To some men, Haynes argues, clicking on porn is simply a way to pass the time. It's a hobby. Once they'd idly play solitaire; now they idly click on a porn site. Others, though, succumb to addiction: Most addictions are to do with internal emptiness, wanting to fill up dead space, and addiction is always destructive.'"

Or you are a saved man. The only man who never lusted after a woman (or a man), was Jesus Christ. My every desire is to be as much like him as I can.

Bullshit. Jesus H. Fucking Christ (who should have been impaled instead of being crucified. Imagine how funny churches would look with that Jesus Christ with that pole coming out of his arse!!!) jerked-off like any normally-constituted male. Not only he lusted after Mary Magdalen, but he had sex with the apostles. Best proof is that during the last supper:

Jesus spread his buns and said, Eat, for this is my body .

All that aside, would you rather have a wife that had slept with a dozen men, or one who had never lain with a man in her life. Maybe you would rather have the former, but I'll take the latter. If for nothing else, than I'm less likely to have STDs.

You must be a hardass sonovabitch busybody control freak, don't you? You are frustrated of not having enough control on your life, and you find the bible's relatively wide acceptance a perfect excuse to exert control over other people.

But still, the best way to protect yourself from AIDS is to stop sleeping around. Find your mate, and stay with that one mate for the rest of your life. And never worry about AIDS.

And pass all that great sex that would definitely make you a more bearable person!!!

Time to start a flamewar here. This is the way it is: God gave us some rules about sexuality in the Bible. If we follow them or not is up to us. But we can't go complaining to God when the rules he setup to govern our lives come back and bite us. People say "How can you beleive in a God that would allow AIDS". When the fact is God hates things like porn and homosexuality. Disobey his laws and you reap the rewards. What's really sad, is when your kids or your family have to wreap the rewards for you

There is no god. Just the elucubrations of control freaks just like you who need excuses to hate things and people they don't understand.

Moses, Jesus H. Fucking Christ, Mohammed all had delusions of grandeur and managed to get "talked to" by god when they deprived themselves of oxygen while climbing mountains.

I heard of three brothers the other day. Their dad was a pastor. One day the man was found outside a strip-club beat up and robbed. He seperated from his wife (although they are still married). The three brothers made a pact. The decided that they would never do to their wife what their father did to their mother. So they agreed that if any of them fell into porn, or any other type of sexual sin. The other two would come to their house and beat him to a pulp. That's the way I see it. Porn hurts families.

Boo hoo hoo, cry me a river. If there weren't so much assholes like you who hate sex (because you can't get enough??? - that's the "sour grapes syndrome") and had laws passed banishing sex clubs and strip joints to unsavoury areas of town, people would not get robbed going there.

But on the other hand, I don't think the government has a right to regulate porn. The government can regulate the effects of porn. Rape should not be tolerated, etc. But getting rid of Porn is a heart issue. It must be done away with by convincing people one at a time of it's evil effects. Not by the government's heavy hand. Otherwise we get a repeat of the 20's.

Yeah! So why don't you shut the fuck up and let those people who actually ENJOY (oh, sorry, the word "enjoy" is alien to you) pr0n, and stop harping about it and shoving your obsolete stupid assinine ways down our throats?

Oh, and crawl back under that rock you came from, anonymous coward.

This is the way it is: God gave us some rules about sexuality in the Bible.

That's right. God gives people matching parts, and hormones to produce a sex drive, and to top it all off, God makes sex feel real good. Then God tells us not to have sex out of wedlock. "Little Johnny, here's a lighter and there are some fireworks --- they make a beautiful show and a cool sound. I'm going into the house for a couple of hours. Now don't you light those fireworks."

If we follow them or not is up to us. But we can't go complaining to God when the rules he setup to govern our lives come back and bite us.

Right. Little Johnny isn't aware that the fuse to the firecracker also leads to the stack of dynamite two feet away --- placed there because I'm such a kind and loving father.

People say "How can you beleive in a God that would allow AIDS". When the fact is God hates things like porn and homosexuality.

Once again, God could easily have fashioned peoples' minds to avoid homosexuality and porn --- but CHOSE NOT TO. Draw your own conclusions.

Disobey his laws and you reap the rewards. What's really sad, is when your kids or your family have to wreap the rewards for you.

Oh no! I left the stack of dynamite too close to the house so little Johnny gets to blow up Mommy, little sis, and the cat too.

Let me ask you something: What kind of sick, twisted, psychopathic entity do you worship?

Left to my own devices, I self regulate my addictive substances and whatnot. Sure I go through binges with coffee and pot, and even alcohol sometimes. (of course by binges I mean times of relativly heavy use, not like drinking to the point of alcohol poisoning or drinking for days on end)... but they are rare and I tend to use them just now and again.

Sounds like you're in denial. You talk about how outside factors drive you to drugs and drinking. That's the classic "it's not my fault, I can't help it" plea of the addict. You need to get a grip on your life and get your addictions under control before they destroy you. I'd say "before they control you", but that's already happening.

This is coming from the adult child of a recovering alcoholic, who got to watch his younger brother overdose and die in front of him. So I know whereof I speak. Go get some help before it's too late and the people around you have to go through the pain of watching you destroy your life.

If pornagraphy is the best the internet has to offer then I say we shut the whole thing down today. c'mon it can and does to alot better. What about music, what about community, what about ect.

Pornagraphy ( by this i don't me art i mean images that are intended to sexually stimulate.) is a blight. It has the effect on people especially men of making them selfish.

When you look at pron are you thinking " I wonder what that woman is like. I wonder if she likes what she is doing? I wonder what type of human being she is?' NO

You concern I waon't claim it involves thought is it feels good to be doing what I'm doing and I like what I see. YOU ARE BEING SELFISH AND NOT CONSIDERING THE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS AS ANYTHING OTHER THEN OBJECTS FOR YOUR PLEASURE.

Guess what, when you do somehting over and over it becomes a habbit. Then if you are really with a woman that habbit is repeated. You treat her like the porn and the porn like her.
She becomes less human.

when women are less human , sooner or later so are is the your outlook on men. All humans become objects for your use and pleasure because of your reinforced habbit.

Not that this is wholly a male problem. Women have thier parts but as I'm not a woman I'm not going to speak as directly to that.

In fact, I have seen a friend who went from addiction to drugs and particularly pot, to replacing that complete lifestyle with religion... and boy did he replace it.

What a way to narrow one's world even further. Religion. I feel sorry for him.
