quickie definitions: Pornography. Noun. { from the Greek pornos and graphos meaning writings about prostitutes} 1) Literature, images or film designed with the purpose of exciting one's sexual or erotic feelings. 2) Stuff you look at whilst beating the proverbial bishop. Art. Noun. { from the Latin ars, artis meaning skill} 1) Literature, images, film or some other medium such as sculpture or engraving designed to express a feeling or record an emotion or express some eternal truth or aspect of the human experience. So, porn can be art, I suppose, but only if you don't jerk off over it but instead enjoy it for its artistic value...  |

Hmmm... I suppose the most obvious question next is 'Who does that?' I'm sorry, but I can't imagine someone truthfully typing in 'porno' in their search engine and waiting for the results so they can begin to evaluate the artistic value of it all. That's not the point of porn, that's not what it's designed to be used for. I don't cook Ramen for the purpose of admiring the scent of cooked Ramen. So yeah, while I definitely see your point, and see how its legit, there's no way, practically thinking, that it applies to reality. Sorry man, nice shot, not good enough.

you could admire the scent of cooked ramen, just becuase u don't do something doesn't mean that others don't do it. and jerking off to something does that classify it as porn. you will seldomly find things in life that only have one qualification or purpose. you can use objects and things for other uses besides what they are designated for.

But chances are that wouldn't be the main purpose of cooking the Ramen. You'd cook it to eat it, eventually, right? unless you plan on throwing it out. I see what you mean though.
A little off topic. Sorry, eskimo, I see it now, but it wasn't very apparent before. Oh well.

I just thought i bring this one back, its a good topic, a very contriversal topic.
As for me, I do think its wrong because its just sick, and sad that so many people have to download pictures just because they are imature and have no life.

I just find this all around wrong. I wish people didn't "sell" their bodies to be used in magazines, so that other people would look at for the sake lust, which is just wrong.  I HATE PORN! |

Do you realize that posing for nude photos, taking parts in porn videos, and prostitution (somewhat related) are all very very very high-paying jobs, scratch that, careers? Some people are good at acting, and I'm sure if you are good at selling sex and making it look exhausting and super-pleasurable, then that is a talent. some people want to "sell" their bodies, so why do you protest what others want to do? if they were being sold into sex slavery, i could see you arguing and saying it is wrong. there is nothing wrong with porn, if you don't like it, then you don't like it. sure, it is a mortal sin and all, but what about people that don't believe in any religion, is it a sin for them? right and wrong are definite things, while sin is totally theological. so when you say something is wrong, you better make sure it is without a doubt wrong. |

Nicely said, Mannn. I think this thread should be closed because it really has nowhere to go from here. |
