Pornography is that which harms the soul. That's true of all people not just minors.
The question then becomes what should be classified as pornography. Justice Stewart famously said "I know it when I see it". My definition is close: "pornography is that which harms my soul". That means that what is porn will differ for different people and probably by age as well.
- the_doctah 4y ago>Pornography is that which harms the soul. I believe they were asking for research or something measurable, not platitudes.
- intrasight 4y agoMy point being that it's not measurable, which is another reason for governments to not be involved.
- saberience 4y agoPorngraphy harms the soul? What exactly is the soul you're referring to? Something metaphysical? Do you have any science or data behind this assertion?
- DonHopkins 4y agoI think what he's trying to say without actually saying it is that pornography is something that makes your eternal soul go to hell if you view it.
- wkat4242 4y agoThen don't watch it. Let us have ours.
- intrasight 4y agoWhich, in case it wasn't clear, is exactly what I'm saying. What harms my soul differs from what harms your soul. The government should not be in the business of preventing the harm to one soul.
- wkat4242 4y agoAh ok sorry for my misunderstanding. In that case we are in agreement.
- Aachen 4y agoWith that reasoning you can also put witches in prison indefinitely for "harming your soul". Sounds like logic from ages past to me
