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

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!

Yeah, I'll manage. And if I find the going gets too tough, I'll just get Louis.

Just remember that once you get Louis, there is no coming back.

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

Beating the thesaurus? .... I'll just take that as a cheap attempt at humor.

And actually, I introduced TWO things to the thread; and I expect both of them to have relevance to this thread at the same time (... I was going to say "concurrently," but I want to avoid using a big word for your sake ... )

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.

This may be a prime example of something I occasionally read on this site: ignoring the profit motive and over valuing the ideological motive behind the issue de jeur.

Did you intend to say "de jure"? ... and where RIGHTS are concerned, being the unconforming philosopher that I am, I have a different praxis about how to mesh out a social definition of it all. I don't just assume that what's given is either true or legitimate, unlike when I was 7 and not cognizant or discerning that things could be otherwise.

What is being inappropriately assumed. Your philosophical-fu is significantly more advanced than mine so I freely admit I may have missed something.

Ann Bartow

Do you mean Hannah Arendt?

Do you mean Hannah Arendt?

No, I wasn't referring to Hannah, although she is notable. Rather, I was referring to Ann Bartow of Pace Law School.

The only thing I know about her is her exiting from her place of work even though she had tenure.

I’m not sure what that has to do with porn.

If you have a degree in psychology but still can't do a simple interdisciplinary google search or journal database search and see the relevance, then I think we're done here in this particular thread.

I'm sure other Christians here have their own perspectives to share ........ I wouldn't want to hog all of the screen time.

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

Even if it were eliminated, pornography will still be produced in the mind. God knows our thoughts.

Oh, please. I’m not here to do your presentation for you.

 

[2PhiloVoid]

Oh, please. I’m not here to do your presentation for you.

And I'm not here to beat my head against a Stonewall, either.

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

Who’s forcing you to watch it?

Do these pro-pornography atheists have anything on-topic to add to the thread, or are they just going to continue to derail it?

What's there to add?

No, there's nothing that can be done about pornography. Learn to live with a world where porn exists.

Why do you guys support it ?

 

[Nithavela]

Why do you guys support it ?

It's not support for porn to state that there is nothing feasible to be done about it.
