A Science-Based Case for Ending the Porn Epidemic

[The Rebel Poet]

There is no doubt that the internet and modern electronic devices have altered people’s brains, especially younger people. The instant gratification, rewards and addictive nature are well known, especially by the apps and websites that provide such services. Facebook and others have admitted as much. People sit around and interact with their devices instead of interacting with each other, or going out and doing something. Males are probably more addicted to video games and porn, women to celebrities, fame, fortune and trying to make their lives look glamorous and exciting. Constant selfies on Instagram or whatever apps they may use. And no need to mention those that are addicted to politics or trolling the internet.

What has it caused? A generation of depressed and anxiety ridden kids on drugs because they have no real lives, and nothing can compare to the false lives on the internet.

Solution? Get off the internet, and extremely limit your children’s access.

Lol, people said the same things about books and newspapers.

Good ones have a libido that's not hooked to the Mastercard.......

What "they" would that be? Socrates railed against the written word when it came to be a "thing", but books and newspapers are significantly older than Murica...I'm having difficulty guessing at where you got this.

That doesn't mean they were commonplace in the U.S. until, basically, the twentieth century.

Besides, cats are older than **** sapiens, but curmudgeons still bitch about them.

I didn't say "they"; I said "people."

Socrates railed against the written word when it came to be a "thing",

Just answered your own question.

but books and newspapers are significantly older than Murica...

I never said anything about America.

I'm having difficulty guessing at where you got this.

Like I said you answered your own question. If I recall, Malesherbes complained about people not interacting with each other because they always had their faces down in a newspaper.

That doesn't mean they were commonplace in the U.S. until, basically, the twentieth century.

Besides, cats are older than **** sapiens, but curmudgeons still bitch about them.

Why did you asterisk out the "hоmо" in "hоmо sapiens"?

 

[acptulsa]

I never touched the asterisk key. Maybe you're just extra special. Let's see.

That's interesting. Suppose the quotation marks fool the computer?

"****"

I guess Supporting Member status makes the difference?

Take your delicate repressed Puritan sensibilities out of my government. Consenting adults aren't victims."Sex Trafficking!!!!" is the new terroriost boogeyman.

The Sex Trafficking Panic ; "The victims are the sex workers…getting harassed and locked up in cages by the cops.

With all due respect, fuck every single thing that the non-libertarians here on Ron Paul Forums want to mandate in the name of the common good.

Anyone capable of critical thought can see that porn is not expression. It's human trafficking and exploitation.

Anybody capable of critical thought can see it's none of your business. Don't watch it if you don't like it. Leave other people alone. Why is that so terrifying???

Want to ban porn? Molon labe.

Porn was the reason the internet was invented.

This belongs here.

 

[juleswin]

LOL,, Porn has been around since mankind learned to draw..

I doubt the Social Controllers will eliminate it..

I dunno if you have check in lately but the kind of porn and access to it that children have today is nothing like cave man porn. I am not saying that it should be banned but I disagree with anyone arguing that the porn we have now is anything like the porn most boomer had growing up.

It depends on how good your imagination is. Video games are a lot more detailed with better graphics than when i was a kid but we had good imaginations. We played tetris and galaga and duck hunt and mario for days. Having better quality video games doesn't change what you are doing and what parts of your brain are connected. Just because its rock and roll doesnt mean its not music or its the devils music. You can enjoy rock and roll and classical music.
