Porn (no links allowed obviously)

[One Brow]

Pornography objectifies humanity, and it should not be pre-supposed as something that is good for society. And I am disappointed to see pornography promoted on this website through this thread.

I have similar gripes about fast-food restaurants, which are far more immoral than much of the porn that is produced.

You are obviously free to your opinion and feelings but I don't get how this thread presupposes it is a societal norm or should be accepted as good. I was merely looking for those who also view it as entertainment to share some suggestions.

There are a million things we can discuss about pornography and it's place in society. Every human (accept the rare outliers) is a sexual being. That is a fact.

Do you share the same sentiments in every thread with references to movies or music that could be argued to objectify people or promote a message you deem morally and ethically irresponsible or unnacceptable? Doubtful.

No. I do not post in every thread. I've avoided threads involving abortions, homosexual marriages, contraception, and other topics that have been previously posted on this board. I simply do not have the time to consistently post on this message board.

Also, I am interpreting your casual manner of bringing up pornography as a presupposition of the issue's amorality. If I were to ask the question, which tax accountant in town do you go to in order to cheat on your taxes? I am automatically assuming that there are tax accountants that help cheat on taxes, and that I am speaking to an audience that treats the act of cheating on taxes in an amoral manner, one in which the act can be spoken of freely.

This thread promotes the use of pornography. It is logical to assume that you would promote something that you deemed moral, or at the least amoral.

How is fast food more immoral than an industry that objectifies men and women? I would like to read your opinion.

Well, that's just the slightest bit judgmental, don't you think? I'd say more, but I don't want to complete derail this conversation, and as you say, you don't have time fir a detailed discussion anyhow. The short version: the rules of natural law morality are based on arbitrary determinations, and I see no reason to think of them as being fundamental, and therefore see your depictions here as mere high-handed preaching.

I see no problem with his query. Your analogy and logic do not seem sound.

Cheating on your taxes is illegal and unequivocally not analogous to asking for recs for porn sites on the web. This thread is no different than me asking what people's favorite alcoholic beverages are (as there is a legal age restriction), or favorite R-rated movie is.

Anybody that doesn't like porn or bacon is imo a liar. I wonder if there is any good bacon porn out there. "Peppercornhole" "BLTT" "Smoked Sausage" Ok maybe that last one doesn't count but it all sounds delish to me.

You speak as if the actors and actresses in porn are forced to participate. If you want to talk about how the media in general objectifies men and women your main gripe should be with network TV.

The fast food industry takes advantage of low-skilled people, offering them little in the way of benefits and generally no future, and basically treating them like disposable cogs. Not too mention the way it treats animals, the environment, etc.

There is a great deal of porn (I would suggest most porn) that depicts adults basically having fun with each other. I agree that rape films, snuff films, etc. are objectifying. However, I see the way Connery-Bond treated women as being much more objectifying than most porn.

Very well. I apologize for derailing this thread. Hopefully this topic can be restored to its proper place. One which openly promotes a business that objectifies men and women while promoting sexual immorality.

Let's not go overboard, there. I'd agree that *almost* everyone likes some sort of porn.

Being legal in society does not make something moral.
