Why is pornography bad?

LOL! The man was sitting in prison looking for a scapegoat to blame for his madness and you need to ask whether he had a reason to lie?

But even if he had no reason to lie, he's one guy mouthing a personal opinion that is not in line with the findings of several scientists. How creditable can that possibly be?

Several scientists? Are there also several scientists who have findings opposite those of your several scientists?

The reason that I think it is "bad" is because it is addicting, and it can seriously affect your life.

In that case..

Food ...is bad
Love... is bad
Exercise... is bad
TV ...is bad
The internet..is bad
Art...is bad
Sex..is bad

According to your stated standards(addictive and life influencing).
Everything...is bad
However I`ve already said this on this thread..doesn`t matter, nobody "thinks".

So...it's good to be addicted to things, including those listed by you?

I don`t recall implying this.
I don`t even know how you got that from my reply.

The point is just because something can be addictive(virtually everything) does not mean that it is "bad" whatever that means.

The world isn`t so black and white.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
If you don't agree with it, don't watch it, but I don't like it people will go past that and try and stop it happening, when it doesn't hurt anyone and people are willingly choosing to watch or partake in such things.

Not that I think we should ban porn - but I find this statement a bit ironic considering the recent brouhaha within the porn industry over a very popular porn star testing positive for HIV. Wonder how many people have been hurt by that?

Probably far fewer than people have been harmed or killed through the career choice of bus driving.

Most definitely fewer than those who have contracted HIV through common sexual activity.

No, we most certainly are not and what a moronic thing to say.

Really?
Do you gain economic assets through the use of skills or assets you personally posses?

If you do you are exploiting yourself for gain.

You`re a whore.
We`re all whores.

We all exploit our assets for personal gain.
We all sell ourselves, this is the nature of our culture.

Some people simply see no ethical difference between exploiting sexuality and exploiting looks, skills or other talents.

You don't know what "bad" means? :D

Addiction is never a good thing, be it heroin or alcohol or gambling or food. What's so great about addiction? How is it good for you to have an addiction?

Certainly I know what bad means.
I`m unsure if others in this thread do however.

If there is some medal somewhere for "Missing the point" you`ve got my vote for the gold.

I will state for a second time.
I never said addiction was good.
I never even implied addiction is good.

I grow tired of explaining the intent and context of the written word of your native language to you.

I will do it one more time though just so it can`t be said I didn`t give it every effort.

The post I replied to stated that pornography is "bad" because it is addictive AND has a relevant effect on your life.

If something can be deemed bad by such shallow thoughtless standards then almost everything that exists in our world can be deemed "bad" by those same standards when one considers that everything has the potential to be addictive and can have a relevant effect on ones life.

Do you think everything is "Bad"?
