ORIGINAL: subspaceseven " Trueman said youth access to pornography amounted to "a major, major problem," and even caused males in their twenties to develop "porn-induced sexual dysfunction." Just a thought or two, on this portion. I don't really indulge in porn, myself. I'm not saying "never". I'm saying extremely rarely. I have no desire, by-and-large, to restrict access to porn to others but, let's look at that statement ... How many times, just on these boards, have we experienced people that come to us with a "porn watcher mentality"? Surely, you've seen people post very similar descriptions of people that come on here, ordering all of us to bow down to their awesomeness? So, while I don't think that porn affects all people that way, I certainly buy a phrase like "porn-induced sexual dysfunction" because it seems to be pretty accurate in some cases. Certainly, being able to actually obliterate all versions of pornography would be a huge deterent to this happening but doesn't porn come from someone's idea? Doesn't it originate with someone saying: "I should take a picture of/write about/make a video about ____________. It would be HOT!" So, banning porn would be about as effect at fighting PISD as banning alcohol was at fighting alcoholism. I would remind you that all political groups have a platform or a mission statement or a code of beliefs. I think I remember the dems talking about balancing the budget four years ago. Has the current democratic president presented a budget in a while? Certainly, the budget wouldn't be balanced, anyway. We're nowhere near out of the woods. So, just because a group has a list of ideals, doesn't mean that those ideals will come to fruition. Also, there's laughable ideals everywhere, if we look hard enough. Peace and comfort, Michael Edited because there's no "P" between the "O" and the "U" in "Should". Damn my stubs! "platform" also has an "r" before the 'm"; not an "e"
