ephemeral November 3, 2005 Share ephemeral Member November 3, 2005 My post rings of the fact that he is blaming porn for the failure of marriage, (his brother's) job, and moving this to a society issue. Porn is not the end all, say all, cause of such problems. Sorry to say, but the rabbit hole is so much deeper then that. actually Duma, his post was specifically directed at folks who had a problem with porn and might want help getting over that problem. He never blaimed porn. http://www.x3watch.com <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh no? hey guys this stuff has messed up marriages and my brother lost his job over it. I'm not having the discussion of whether or not you should or should not look at naked folks, but simply providing a link that may be helpful for someone with a problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The bold part is the subject matter of my post. After ppl had made a few jokes about it, his post is to suggest that porn isn't a laughing matter. As he said, it has "messed up lives." I must repeat myself, porn didn't mess up his brother's life. His brother had issues prior to porn. Porn is not the cause and affect of his problems. Finally, I will defer from taking on your "unnecessary" post argument. After all, such conclusions will only result in animosity. I simply want to state the other side... as this topic found itself in a "general chit chat" area, there can be no unnecessary post - except those that are orginally posted - as all others are solicited. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> dude dont say stuff you cant back up. how do you know he had issues prior to porn? did he say he did? and actually, porn can definitly make you lose your job. porn rips apart families, which leads to bad work. porn at work is being paid for time you're not working. co-workers walking by while you are looking at porn are affected...seriously.

Norguard November 3, 2005 Share Norguard Member November 3, 2005 (edited) Duma, by your same reasoning, an alcoholic shouldn't be fixing his alcohol addiction, should he? Do we change to suit his 12 hours of drinking a day, and his propensity for hitting his wife and children, when they tell him things he doesn't want to hear, or does he change to suit the way the rest of the (currently) sober world works? Why do we even need AA or rehab clinics, if alcoholics and heroin addicts shouldn't be fixing their narcotic addictions, but rather dealing with regressed depression, due to traumatic childhoods? It's no different than a credit card. You can't pay off the debt, until you pay down the interest. If a bad marriage is what drove you to obsess over porn, you aren't going to be able to fix the marriage until you deal with your addictions, are you? If your children drive you to drink 12 beers a night, before you sit down for dinner, you aren't going to become a better father to them while still drinking half a case in between the main course and desert.

wayfarer November 3, 2005 Share wayfarer Member November 3, 2005 This thread should be re-established in the political asylem pronto!!! The link that Preacher provided was for help only. This has turned into a VERY different thread than was intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConGregation November 3, 2005 Share ConGregation Member November 3, 2005 This thread reminds me of 'pot' threads. Just casually mention pot in a bad light and you will get womped with "There is nothing wrong with pot" and "You judging me cause I use pot"... Preacher's b-i-l is a normal guy. I know that because any normal guy likes looking at naked pretty ladies. If you don't then check your pulse and sexual persuasion. But like any VICE, it will only grow and lead to more things. I have known guys that have been so enslaved by a sin that they lose all sense of judgement and decorum. This might be the case of Preach's b-i-l. I will stop there... want so bad to throw gas on the fire This is a great post by Preach just because the internet makes it so accessible. Thank you Preacher!

TheGeek November 3, 2005 Share TheGeek Member November 3, 2005 Porn is one of many ways to seperate you from relationships. Trust me have gone through this at a young age, dont get me wrong it does the same thing for adults. I have gone though the strugle with porn many times, and it keeps pulling me back in. Thats because porn is adicting, thats reason number 1 that its wrong. Why do you think that cetain drugs are illegal? because they are dammaging to you, porn is the same way. For these reasons. 1. It changes how you treat women and how you look at women, dont tell me that you dont check out women 5 times more when you look at porn. 2. It takes over your time and in a result it can get "one" fired. 3. One adicting thing leads to another adicting thing. 4. Porn gives you a tempory high, drugs do the same thing. 5. One that does porn on a regular basis is usaly unable to socialize to people on a regular basis. Such as not being able to cary on conversations because you have a too "one sided mind". 6. One that does porn usaly has trouble making eye contact. Thanks for posting this topic preacher. Your now my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblegum Bandit November 3, 2005 Share Bubblegum Bandit Member November 3, 2005 Thread locked and closed, if you want to debate it further, take it to the PA. Chit chat is not the place. Preacher made an attempt to post something he thought might be helpful to some, for that imo his post was more than worthwhile. However, as I said, the debate to follow was not becoming of this forum. Topic Closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
