Can anything be done about pornography and it's many supporters ?

[MassimoTheChristian]

Porn and it's supporters are everywhere on the internet.

 

[Desk trauma]

No.

That was easy.

Moving on…

Porn and it's supporters are everywhere on the internet.

What can be done about it and its supporters? ......... what you do is bring critical thought to bear upon the very heart of the philosophy driving it; that is, you find its Achilles Heel and crush its axioms.

Porn and it's supporters are everywhere on the internet.

I think the thing is like most things: everything in moderation. No one is forced to watch it.

 

[MassimoTheChristian]

No.

That was easy.

Moving on…

That sucks.

That's not quite true.

 

[Desk trauma]

That's not quite true.

Who’s forcing you to watch it?

Non answer is a non answer.

That's not quite true.

It is trivially easy to avoid looking at porn.

Did you or @Desk trauma see what I said up in post #3?......................... somehow, I get the sense that neither of you did.

Sure did.

Now, who’s being forced to watch it?

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Sure did.

Apparently, you don't catch my Jungian drift, so in the same way that you've casually and trivially thrown out a red-herring, I'll just throw out my own comments before this thread gets closed down.

So let me guess: You're a behind the scenes producer of that material and you're just showing up to defend your production of it.

NO? Not close? If not, then let me guess again: You're a behind the scenes patron of that material, showing up to defend your support of it.

Am I getting warmer?

I’ve no idea what’s gotten into you today and I can’t be bothered to find out.

The only thing diving porn is money. Like most industries.

Nope.

So, you don't support it? It sort of sounds to me like you do, even if it's indirectly.

Now who’s being forced to watch it?

As I said earlier, you can spare me your loaded, slanted questioning. And it is loaded----loaded with libertarian assumptions and legitimizing inferences that, upon critical analysis, are dead on arrival. But, that's just my central point: the ideology that drives the production ISN'T legitimate.

Nor are the cash cows that derive and thrive from it.

So, whether or not anyone is "forced to watch it" or "look at it" is a moot point. It's a dead point. And those who resort to asking this same question that you do, however trivially, are merely attempting to obscure the obvious displacement of the ethical goalpost in view in this thread.

And guess what? I'm not playing your libertarian game ......................................

 

[Nithavela]

I understand that people doing things you do not morally agree with is stressful, no matter if them doing those things has any influence on your personal life, but I'm sure you'll manage. Chin up!

 

[Larniavc]

Capitalism?

Oh really? That's all that's driving it, ay? I think you know better than that. One doesn't have to read a little Ann Bartow to know this.

Beating that thesaurus awful hard to avoid addressing something you introduced to the thread.
