Internet Porn: good or bad?

[SSJ4Sephiroth]

Well, considering where i am, i would have expected someone to have already asked this question, but no one has. so, im assuming im going to have to ask it myself. is internet porn good or bad, and do you think it has a bad influence on kids. im sure all the board members have an opinion on this, especially all the parents. now I, for one, having seen firsthand what this can do to a good mind, am firmly against it, and believe that it has an exremely negative effect on minds. it has turned my friends into just big perverts, where a good mind used to be. but enough blabbing on my part, its time to hear what all of you think about this subject.

If a rapist and/or child abuser spend half his day looking at these sick things instead of doing it in real life - I'd say that they are actually quite positive.

However, in psychological terms, it doesn't work like that: people get motivated instead and thrive on internet porn to "fuel" their desires to do the things they won't do as human beings in reality.

For example if you saw that 'raping' is "cool" on the net, and you had that same belief, you'd be more likely to do it in real life? Simple!

So my view? I hate it, it is disgusting and open up a gateway to kiddies when a child says "Mummy! (points at the woman's breasts) what's THAT thing!

But you have to admit, it is not a form of heavy crime. There is no obligation to view the crap, but if you want to - it is solely your own responsibility.

Hopefully this new "government internet security" policy, will be better than we'd hope it'll be.

But then there's the issue of privacy? Who's up for that?

Bad, it's just like online gambling - people can't control themselves and spend a fortune surfing all these places.

If you REALLY wanted porn, just go to a video store (here in Australia anyway). Not that I need any...

Well what ever turns your crank. I think that it is a terrible thing. ONe example well maybe two.

A friend of mine sat down on the computer with his young boy. And was about to start to do a school project. It was about the beaver. Being a Canadian this was a great animal to do a report on. Well I am sure you can see where this is going. The typed beaver into the search. Needless to say the kid had lots of questions.

Next store I heard which I can not say I know for sure that it is true 3rd party info. But a person was sufring porn and downloaded a few pictures after he did this a screen popped up and said you now have the clap. And bingo no more computer.

But each to there own. I would like to see more intervension by other groups to help sensor the net. I know to some sensor is a nasty word. But we are in a day and age that there is people that take things to far. And not only on the internet. Ok my two cents you all stay

I'll thank you NOT to go insulting us just because we haven't posted in your bloody poll, thank you!
.
Too much generalisation here anyway. Child porn is bad, rape fantasy porn is probably bad, others I couldn't care less about
.
Happy now?

I don't need watch porn neither on TV nor on internet.
Somebody need it for achievment sexual thrill - is that bad? - but if in this mood to someone hurts - now is that bad!

Go to a video store - easy way - but someone is ashamed and wannabe anonymous internet look more easily.

Children should not watch porn neither on TV nor on internet. If porn watch children, it is very bad!
