Do you think that pornography should be illegal?

I agree and disagree.

Agreement...
I agree because it is a bad thing for people to do. And even if it legal, it is against the Law so that if they do watch pornography, the are breaking the Law. I also think it should be illegal because in the Bible it says, PORN IS BAD!

Disagree...
I disagree because sometimes pornography is good. For example, when you are at a Sperm Bank, where do you think the sperm came from? You probably would suggest that the male used pornography to masturbate causing the sperm to come out. So, pornography could be used for a good thing.

I still think that pornography is relative. There are people who would censor great works of art because they consider them pornograhic. The types of porn I think should be illegal are (pedophilia, beastiality) at least as far as I know though that doesn't mean that they can't be found if one seeks them *gag*. Personal I just don't seek them or most other porn because I don't have to. I advise others who don't want to see porn to do the same.

there was a guy, I forgot his name...but he was a porn addict, as well as an insane mess or something like that, he went arround killing people and crap. he was put in prison and eventually given the death sentence, but while he was in prison he talked with the majority of the others in there. appearantly 100% of the people he talked to were porn addicts.
It's one of those things that america would be better off without, but we still don't get rid of them. the day porn is illegalized, will be the day after smoking and drinking alchohol are illegalized.

Why would the U.S.A. be better off without them? Don't you feel that personal freedom is important?

oh the age old question of "where do we put the line of freedom and safety?

for more freedom, you must sacrifice safety.
for more safety, you must sacrifice freedom. I believe that porn is one of those things that causes more harm than good...which it rarely causes any good to my knowledge.

Why do you believe it's something that causes more harm then good, and what basis of knowledge do you have to suggest that it rarely causes any good?

Personal experience isn't something to base legislation on. Okay, you had a negative experience with something. Other people might (and are) having positive experiences, where they're not addicted, and they quite enjoy the material responsibly.

It's like.. I hate coffee because it tastes terrible & makes me bounce off the walls.. when I come down from a caffeine high I feel *terrible* - like for hours I'm on the edge of throwing up. Doesn't mean I'm going to tell other people not to drink it.

yes but again you feeling bad due to caffeine generally won't cause other people harm. like i said 100%of the guys in jail that man talked to were porn addicts.

If you could give proof of this man or any of his inmates being addicted to porn, then maybe it could be taken into consideration.

So what? that's his own personal appraisal, not a study. Besides, From what I hear, there's not a hell of a lot to do in jail.

Additionally, if you're going to use this as an argument - you should provide a source. Some guy whose name I don't remember doesn't really stand up.

even if this theory that all inmates are pornaddicts is true it does not prove a point.

your way of argumentation goes against any statistical method.

if you want to prove the negative effect of pornography, you should take all porn watching individuals and make a reaserch about how many of them were murders rapists or whatever, and then compare the percentage with the one that occurs in the population not watching porn.

instead of taking a whole society you can take statisticlly valid probe numbers of random people belonging to both groups

The really only damage porn could posibly would be able to cause, is by the viewing of its youngest fans (12,13 years of age)

I've been watching porn since I was 5 lol, now by what way am I damaged? brain, loss of intelligence, penis lol

porn doesn't cause any damage, it just gets kids to wank and want to have sex, and wants wrong with that?

you can't really hide pornography from kids because at around 6-8 years old they will find out about it at school or friends.
