Pornography doesn’t exploit.

Is the love of money the root of many evils?
If there was BUCKETS of cash in being virtuous would the world be filled with virtuous men?

We're not discussing virtue. We're discussing exploitation.

BUCKETS of cash

And so you just don’t agree that pornography is exploitation?
And you just don’t agree that the love of money is the root of many evils?
If the world was filled with virtuous men what would happen?

What the heck is it with these off-topic assumptions that have no basis whatsoever in what the poster actually said?

freely consenting

Do you have any evidence that free will exist?

It's called Trolling. The purpose is to see how many people care enough about an off-topic and nonsensical comment made by a random person on the internet to disrupt their conversations to engage said person. It's a "fun" way of proving to yourself that you have power over other people and, therefore, are meaningful.

I don´t know that discerning consent requires "freewill" (whatever that may be) in the philosophical sense. Consent in this context merely means that you - without being directly or immediately forced into it by others - agree with what you engage in.

No.

It certainly is the root of many of what I, personally, would call 'evil'.

If the world was filled with virtuous men what would happen?

That depends entirely on your definition of 'virtuous' (and yes, on your definition of 'virtue'). What you hold to be a virtue, I might not, and vice-versa. For example, i see nothing unvirtuous about being a participant in the production of pornography.

i see nothing

You don’t see that Jesus says we are blind and that he is the good shepherd, and that we should follow him.

Your poll is flawed. The only correct answer is that some pornography exploits but pornography does not NECESSARILY exploit. Porn about young buxom lasses who love nothing better then to please man is exploitative. Pornography that is as much about the womans pleasure as the mans is not exploitative. Pornography exists in many different stripes, some are exploitative, some are not.

I think porn exploits and is a sin.

Then don't watch it. Problem solved.

Do not misquote me. Try to stay on topic.

Did you have a choice to ask that question?

Or were you forced?
