^Could you state the source of your definition? I'm curious as to where that particular one came from.

I looked pornography up in the Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus, and the deffinition I found proved to be quite different.

Pornography - n 1. Explicit description or exhibition of sexual activity in
literature, films, etc. 2. Literature, etc, characterized by this.

Oh, it was just dictionary.com. Explicit and Obscene are very similar, so they arent that different.

Ah, that would be why.
In cases like this, you may want to use a hardcopy for descriptions.
Chances of it being off are a lot less likely than that of the internet.
The internet is a pretty sketchy place for things like decsriptions.

Even for things like obscene and explicit. When I referred to my copy, they are very different creatures with little similarity.

Just a thought.

Well it didn't effect my point any. I was getting at that people define explicit and obscene in differnet ways, so its hard to set standards to something such as pornograpyhy.

I thought about looking it up, but I actually have no idea where my dictionary is. I may have left it at school over winter break, thank you for the alternate definition.

^No problem. I have nothing against your point either, I think that it is entirely valid.

I just wanted to make sure that the deffinition given was an acurate one,
so that misunderstandings wouldn't erupt from it.

If viewers and people in the pornography are at a resonable age then I dont have problems with it. Its not doing any harm to people!

I think all pornography should be banned because I feel that it is very degrading and pointless... I don't understand how people can even do that.. I have had bad experiences with ex boyfriends and porn..

porn shouldn't be banned, same reason as why Marilyn Manson music should be banned. Besides porn stars know exactly what they're doing.

i am however against slave porn, rape porn and child porn. But playboy type shit is fine with me.

I agree with Bibz. The pornography that involves harmful and illegal stuff is wrong but other than that stuff like playboy is okay. Plus even with pornstars before anything can be done they are made sure to be clean and have regular checks so they are safe. so overall aslong as it doesnt contain things like younger kids and rape then it does not bother me.

People in earlier posts have said the Pornography doesn't hurt anyone, so it doesn't matter.

But I don't agree, because look at all the sickos out there. They could kidnap a young girl, and rape her on tape, or force her to pose nude for a camera. She would basically be held captive, and her captor would basically force her to do explicit things on camera , or webcam etc. I have heard about it a few time on the news, so I know that it does happen.

Okay, please try to at least read the rest of the PAGE before posting.

Of course something along the lines of what you stated is wrong.
It would be wrong regardless of whether it was tapes and produced as porn
or if it was just done for the amusement of those involved.
What you described is called Rape-Porn, or Slave-Porn, or even Child-Porn.

These three kinds of pornography are illegal, because they do not have
the consent of all those involved.

I am against pornography. I have real issues with people who use others as objects for sexual pleasure. Yeah, I know we all need it people but we don't need to see it posted up on your Myspace, in a magazine, or in a video.

But one of the biggest reasons why I don't like it is because of people being used and objects. Women espeacially are used a lot just to get a Playboy magazine or something to impress thier boyfriends or whatever...I just don't like it. If they choose so...well...that's different. Than that's thier career choice.

Pornography I don't like and I don't want to see it...but if you like being naked that much and join a nude colony...well, that's nothing I really need to know...just as long as I don't need to see it and anyone isn't being used as a sexual object!

I understand we are animals but you don't see other creatures on this earth taking pictures of it, posting it on the internet and making easy money!


The only reason you don't see other creatures doing it, is because they can't.
They don't have the same type of intelligence to be able to use the technology we created.
Hell, animals are full of 'gang bangs' and 'gang rape' situations. They just don't see it the way humans do.
I gotta say that's a very poor comparison to get your point across.

I think one thing you have to remember is that the women in Playboy or in porn are CHOOSING to be there. It's their choice to be 'used' or 'objectified'. What right do you have to take their right to make that choice?

Yeah, I know there's ones that choose it as a career, and I'm not saying shun them to Hell for making that choice. If they're happy posing for pictures, than let them be happy. I didn't really make that clear in my other post because I was just referring to the ones that are pressured to do it when they don't want to, because they won't be "accepted" by some group of people. Yet then, once again it is thier choice to follow through with it...personally I wouldn't ever follow through on something like that, just because personally I don't like porn and doing things like that.

And as for the first thing you pointed out...well, yeah...of course they can't! You know that probably wasn't the best comparison on my part...lol. Sometimes I put some odd humor or something in my arguements that is totally irrelevant. Honestly, whatever I ment by that at whatever time in the evening it was didn't make sense!

TwistedWicked SAID that it was their choice to make, and she just doesn't agree with it. And personally I think it's your choice to make or watch pornography, and if you like it that's fine, just don't talk about it!
And second of all, Animals don't do it now, but what if they evolve? You never know what could happen in the next 2,000 years, do we? And I'm not trying to be rude, because I agree with parts of TwistedWicked and parts of Hail Of Bullets arguments, but you should really read the argument you're opposing before you post...

If peopel want to do it then i guess they ca. But i think it just should be private.
And i hate going to the Video store and seeing a shelf of porn videos. Hello...it's STUPID.

I've seen a piar of 5 year old kids pick one up.

WTF do they have it there for. Freaking hell.

1. I did read the argument and I actually agreed with what she replied with.
2. We're talking about now, not what's gonna happen in 2,000 years when we're all dead.
3. Why should people who like porn not be allowed to talk about it?
