In Paleocon's world, there would be a lot of people in prison...

Everybody except him.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Everybody except him.

And Jesus

Wait, Jesus would probably be in prison too for not being Catholic enough.

From what I understand porn has been shown to damaging from minors to adults. In adults and teenagers it can cause sexual malfunction, depression, isolation, self image issues and other mental issues.

Back in the day it was normal for kids to be around adults who were having sex, the family had only one room, there were no secrets. The kids survived. Of course childhood was not really a thing back then either, they were adults in training, and there was not much interest in keeping reality from them.

I dont have much interest in the futile task of trying to keep kids away from the reality of human sex, however porn is getting increasingly violent, and there for sure needs to be some strong messaging about that before these kids start having sex. I find it interesting that the trend is for kids to delay having sex compared to what previous generations did, I wonder if porn is a part of the reason, but at least they will know what to do when it is time to do it.

Rule 34 says otherwise, there's gonna be at least one person that likes Manilow

Now on a serious note, just because you and others want to restrict basic freedoms doesn't mean we should let them. Thats not what freedom is about and not what it should be about

Maybe there is someone somewhere that likes Manilow. There are dirt eaters on the planet, too. There's just no accounting for poor taste.

I have no desire to restrict freedoms. OTOH, I also have no desire to see us pandering to our lowest common denominators, either. If reason, among other things, separates us from the animals, that is only proven when we actually employ it. Otherwise, we're no better than dogs or alligators.

 

[Paleocon]

It is society's duty to parent all children.

If you're going to expect others to accept your communist viewpoint, you should try actually arguing for it.

Incarcerated for watching porn... hmmmmm.

That would require a massive public works campaign the likes of which would rival the effort to construct the federal highway system in order to build the necessary facilities to house the additional... I don't know... 50 million inmates that such an action would create?

Great idea!

You're assuming that a sixth of the country would be willing to go to prison for pornography. That's debatable.

I find it odd how we infrequently address that topic in society. It is very true too.

 

[Paleocon]

You will understand that you were in a position of being very plyable at the age of 7. That fortunately you had a good family and school and peer group around you.

It is important that kids at the age of 7 understand when it is OK to say to an adult that they don't want to be touched there. It is important that Kids know what to do if somebody does touch them where they don't want to be and that it is not their fault and that the adult or who ever will be caught if they tell the teacher or who ever.

Sweeping such subjects under the carpet is the peodphile's dream.

You must lead a rather sad life. Thinking it normal for teachers talk to 7 year olds about sex.

 

[Absentglare]

That's funny, i was thinking that it must be sad if someone thinks talking about sex is magically harmful.

 

[Paleocon]

To a 7 year old? Absolutely, it's inappropriate and people who think otherwise should be held in suspicion.

Why ?

There's nothing wrong with describing sex in general as a form of intimacy that adults engage in.

 

[Diving Mullah]

It's from ABC News so everything that matters is blurred out but its still not suitable for work imo.

If you have kids, or are going to have kids, you need to be aware of this. This is exactly the type of reason, among many, that I won't let my kids have their own cell phones or get on the computer without me being able to watch what they're doing at all times. But unfortunately no one can be around their kids 24/7 once they start school and start getting more independent. At the very least TALK to your kids about this stuff. I didn't realize that it was starting at such a young age for this type of stuff but now I do and am going to be taking appropriate steps as best I can. The wide use internet age has really changed how this stuff should be handled.

Kids have been exposed to porn since the dawn of time. My time was VCR and Movies and before that Magazines, now internet, future, virtual realing, really really into future...Sex Bots!

Kids learn to masturbate around age of 7 or 8, what do you think they imagine when they are doing the deed! Why we are so freaking uptight about Sex is beyond me. Part of attraction to porn is because it is taboo. Sex is as basic as shaiting and eating. Treat is as such and we won't have any issues

It's more like they learn to touch themselves. What they are doing is not really the same thing.

 

[Henrin]

I find it odd how we infrequently address that topic in society. It is very true too.

The effect it has on women was a big topic some years ago, but the effect it has on men is pretty much ignored.

 

[P0wel1b4]

It's a failure because it's not serious. If the government were serious about curbing drug use, they would among other things, secure the border (which would practically end heroin and cocaine use in the US).

Internet porn could practically be eliminated if the government put its mind to it. Just require ISPs to report it (as they are presently required to report child porn) and it would become very difficult to watch without risking incarceration.



That has no relevance to the topic at hand, at all.

Even though it'd be a violation of the first amendment which you seem to forget chronically, and as far as I remember there hasn't been an amendment added to the constitution to ban the production of pornography, and even then, during the 30s IIRC, when it was illegal, drawn pornography was counted as art, which was protected by the first amendment.

 

[Winchester]

For most people is viewing porn harmful in the long run?

 

[P0wel1b4]

Wow! That mom in that video is the problem. I know she thinks she is addressing the problem, but she isn't. She's making it worse. Kids don't have good judgement. You can't turn over something as primal as sex to a child that has no filter, no self control.

I know 30 year olds that have no filter, I mean, if you give one of my friends that if you give him a beer, he won't have one, he'll have 10 and then will be trying to trade your wife for an International Scout, personally I'd like an older k5 blazer with a solid front axle or a Jeep but that's a different story for a different forum.

Anyway, age doesn't affect if a person has a filter or not in every case is what I'm trying to say

Well then I'd like to see an alligator or a dog fighting beside me when Ragnarok comes.

You're assuming that a sixth of the country would be willing to go to prison for pornography. That's debatable.

And then what about the people who didn't know they were being filmed?

 

[Paleocon]

Why ?

Don't be daft. You know what was meant.

Even though it'd be a violation of the first amendment which you seem to forget chronically, and as far as I remember there hasn't been an amendment added to the constitution to ban the production of pornography, and even then, during the 30s IIRC, when it was illegal, drawn pornography was counted as art, which was protected by the first amendment.

The first amendment is stupid. And in any case, pornogrsphy as speech has only recently been legalized.

And then what about the people who didn't know they were being filmed?

What about them?

 

[P0wel1b4]

What about them?

Would you send them to jail for something that they didn't know they we're a party to? And as for porn being speech, it's protected as a form of expression. how would you feel if someone criminalized Catholicism and its tenants?

 

[Aunt Spiker]

Our society has really gone down the drain. People who make pornography should be incarcerated or executed.



Parents should talk to their kids about this. There should be no "sex education" in school.

They taught sex education in the 5th grade when I was in school . . . long after I had sex, sucked a boy's **** for the first time, and had my ass fingered.

And that's reality for a lot of people, not just me. Everyone else just lives in a fantasy land where sex doesn't exist until the age of 18.

I think a lot of guys are unaware of how early girls discover they can orgasm. Guys really exist, when they're boys, in a sexless world where penises are funny things and used for peeing. Girls often come into awareness of personal pleasure a hell of a lot earlier than any boy.

And yet somehow so many people either forget this or just don't know it.

 

[humbolt]

Well then I'd like to see an alligator or a dog fighting beside me when Ragnarok comes.

Okay.

 

[Paleocon]

Would you send them to jail for something that they didn't know they we're a party to?

No. This is one of the dumbest arguments I've heard.

Drug use is illegal, people aren't liable for their drink being spiked. Incest is illegal, people aren't liable for being raped by their relatives. Etc.

And as for porn being speech, it's protected as a form of expression. how would you feel if someone criminalized Catholicism and its tenants?

You're begging the question rather badly. Who says Catholicism and pornography are equal?

Also, how anyone feels about it is entirely irrelevant.

They taught sex education in the 5th grade when I was in school . . . long after I had sex, sucked a boy's **** for the first time, and had my ass fingered.

I'm so sorry you had to go theough that as a child. I mean that, I'm not being sardonic.

I think that being abused like that may have given you a warped sense of normality. That sort of thing isn't acceptable.

when did she say anything about it being anything but consensual? Maybe I missed something in her post? Or is it that I'm not a closed minded prude like you?
