WATCH OUT FOR EROTOTOXINS GUYS!
 
Sometimes I just want to cry, the link says it all:
http://www.overlawyered.com/archives/002575.html

she is a kook, but since we need a debate, why do people consider pornography bad? I can't understand why looking at naked pictures of girls/guys you will never see in real life would make you a bad person.

DISCUSS!

... Erototoxins. :lol: What a tremendous pile of bullshit.

Unless you have some kind of tentative grasp on reality, or are some kind of obsessor/stalker pervert loony, I can't imagine how pornography could possibly be "damaging".

It's funny that in that article, they compare the porn industry to the tobacco industry, then go on about how porn is dangerous and toxic and they're going to remove it from society. When did porn overtake fecking TOBACCO as a health hazard?

EDIT: What in the world is a "snuff movie"?

porn doesn't kill. i just rots your brain. come to think of it , that would kill you.

You better watch it... watching to much porn will turn your lungs black... It will go less fast if you watch cencorded porn but it will happen eventualy!

There is nothing wrong with porn (excluding snuff movies), so no worries all you 12 year olds, you can keep downloading porn from Kazaa, no problem at all! :P

Your caps make baby jesus vomit up the intestines of the muslim he just ate.

Erototoxins? What will they think of next?

A snuff movie is one featuring a person's death/murder for someone else's sexual gratification; I think it featured on an episode of CSI, once, and also the main theme of that movie "8mm" with Nicholas Cage in it (which freaked me out BIG time). I think it's an urban myth, but plenty of people reckon they exist.

@ the artice: *giggles stupidly* What a load of absolute tripe. :D They'll be telling us sex is bad for us too, next. Reminds me of people that sell "DNA activation kits" to activate "100% of your DNA!" (without considering that that theoretically means your eyeballs will turn into fingernails etc).

Add technobabble, make your nonscience believable!

They hope to raise at least $3m to conduct MRI scans on victims under the influence of porn and so prove their theories correct.
That bit just cracks me up! "Oh no! Help me! I'm under the influence of porn!!!"

Oof, I reluctantly reply to this. The lady probably is a "kook" just trying to back up her personal opinions and such, but meh.

While I don't think porn is necessarily bad, I definitely don't like it myself. I think a lot of guys have problems with drawing the lines between the fantasy stuff of pornography and the real women of reality. I also find it highly over-rated and some guys make too big of a deal over it, as if it's some sort of vital necessity even when they have girlfriends.

When school was in session, I got so pissed off at some of Luke's friends for accusing him for being "whipped" because he doesn't watch/look at it. Ironically, I don't think any of them were getting any "action." [/end short, personal rant :dodgy:]

I don't care what anyone else does or thinks on the subject really. As I said in the masturbation thread, whatever humps your camel.

Blah, I shouldn't be replying to threads when I'm this tired.

What do opinions have to do with this? You can't just come up with some fictitious neurotoxin, stuff like this should leave the mouths of unbiased researchers, not people with an agenda like this wierdo. For her to make a claim like that would be not unlike me claiming that I have discovered Bushotoxins that are released when you support Bush.

God only knows what she hopes to achieve by making herself look like a total moron. Hopefully she won't manage to get anywhere with this.

*Man breathes into a breath tester*
*Beeping is heard*
Officer - "I'm sorry sir, our machine indicates that you're driving under the influence of porn, please step out of the car."

Only religious retards and overprotective mothers would fund that moronic research.

Gave me a great laugh though.

A faked killing usually filmed by a crew of special effects wizards. Usually a total orgy of blood and guts. Some are claimed to be real, but apparantly these rumours are only spread by people who are turned on by the stuff, with the desired effect of adding to the illusion.

I haven't read it, but i get the gist. I hate people like this, these people are the sort of people that make me want to die as soon as possible. If society carries on in such a way, God has my permission to destroy the world before i conquer it.

CheeseOfGlory 07-30-2005 08:44 AM

I suppose it's true that some people now have unachievable standards of beauty, but considering all the other advertising and fashion we see does a lot more damage than pornography from time to time. Plus people who can't differentiate between fantasy and reality are what I like to call "morons".

Plus I would think that pornography helps to reduce rape and other sex-related crime. But the true answer is to decriminalize prostitution in the United States (I know there is one county in Nevada, but that doesn't really count)


luke has eaten too much whipped cream?!

Statikk HDM 07-30-2005 12:06 PM

Facs, thats exactly what I thought.
Whats next, erototoxins used as a legal defense?
"I'm sorry I stuck up the McDonalds at knife point your honor, but just minutes before I keyed myself up to commit the crime by stroking it to some hardcore rug-eating."
Whats with conservatives and pulling words out of their asses? This goes on the list with "Islamofascism" and "Guaranteed" and "Operation" as words that show everything someone just said or typed was b.s.

Munch's Master 07-31-2005 07:43 AM

Erototoxins? Erotocrap. This is just dumb, I'm not personally into porn, I prefer real women to pictures, but she thinks looking at naked women can be damaging? So does that make sex wrong? If so, she's saying it is wrong to reproduce and continue the species. Yeah crappy nature example I know, but I'm just illustrating a point. I hope she presents this to a larger audience, they realise she's wrong and she makes a complete fool of herself.

Meh, I don't like hard coreporn, just non moving pictures and such. Man, back the ancient age with the greeks, they stuff like this all the time, not the "controversy," but the porn and stuff. Ancient Japan and Greece were probably the two most liberal countries of the B.C. In fact, it was considered noble to be homosexual, and it should be today :p.

Yes, I am taking this FAR off topic.

God Jacob would've loved it back then. He would go on a big ego trip.

Erototoxins? Don't make me laugh, if that's true. Me and Sugar-Muffin [Rich] have infected you all several times over. Because, you know, everyone here's just so sexy, it's hard to keep constrained.

I just can't believe that some people would really believe this and would really fund this reasearch!
