Arizona Denounces Pornography as Public Health Crisis

[The New California Republic]

I said we'd tax advertising on and for porn sites. Porn is bad, but guess what? People are bad, so let's make some money off it.

What if there is no advertising on the site?

It's a drug

No it's not.

and it has the same effects as physical drugs.

No it doesn't.

It makes you more irritable, less confident, and more importantly it wastes time.

Evidence? Evidence? And evidence?

Plus, by satisfying your sexual desires, it removes any impetus for you to get out and actually look for a real partner, which means people don't get married and start families(or do so at lesser rates) thus causing societal collapse.

Fucking hilarious. Porn has existed for a long as mankind has existed and society hasn't collapsed, so kindly lay off with that completely hyperbolic lie. Please man, don't patronise us with that type of shit.

It's always existed, but 20 years ago, how easy was it to get porn? The difference between now and then is back then if you wanted porn you had to go out to an adult video store or buy an "entertainment magazine". Nowadays, all you gotta do is do a few clicks on the internet. That's what will cause societal collapse. Not the mere existence of porn, but its ubiquity.

Very easy actually.

And again I see no evidence to back up your claims. You are adding 2 and 2 and getting 5. Your conclusion does not follow from your premise.

And on the other end when there's repression you get priests being quietly transferred to another parish.

Porn isn’t bad though.

And why not? It's a drug,

Its not

and it has the same effects as physical drugs.

So does anything that makes you happy. Porn, video games, tv, and sex just to name a few all help release endorphins which make you relaxed and happy

It makes you more irritable, less confident, and more importantly it wastes time.

We must be watching different porn. Porn has never made me irritable or less confident. And yes it’s great for just wasting time, that’s a positive.

Plus, by satisfying your sexual desires, it removes any impetus for you to get out and actually look for a real partner,

Um no it doesn’t. I watch porn pretty regularly. I still get to bang a lot of hot dudes. My sex life hasn’t taken a hit due to porn, stress and work has done that.

which means people don't get married and start families(or do so at lesser rates) thus causing societal collapse.

People not getting married doesn’t cause societal collapse and porn isn’t the cause of people not getting married. Also newsflash sex outside of marriage is a thing

Don't bother Therm, he isn't answering even half the questions I am asking him; and even the ones he does answer he isn't really answering fully.

I mean, NS also wastes time. And even if it causes people to not look for a partner, which is hardly the case (masturbation is very different from real sex), it's a good thing that it would be lowering reproductive rates. It's high reproduction that causes societal collapse, not the other way around.

And the poor reproduce way more than the rich, which means uplifting everyone contributes to birth control.

Why would you want to reduce reproductive rates? If anything, the developed world needs to raise its reproductive rates.

And finally, I got some evidence here:

See what I mean? Why go out and have sex when you can get that same stimulation without even getting up?

Not evidence at all. The main reference to pornography on that article is the following, and forgive me if I dismiss it "out of hand" so to speak:

the far-right Proud Boys group has a “no wanks” policy, which prohibits masturbating more than once a month. The group’s founder, Gavin McInnes, who also co-founded Vice Media, has said that pornography and masturbation are making Millennials “not even want to pursue relationships.”

[Zuhayrian]

Arizonan here.

On the actual declaration itself, it's bullshit, pure and simple.

On the necessity of the declaration, it isn't needed, because there are more important things to do in the AZ Congress.

Surprise surprise it’s the racist cunt of a shitstain. It’s sad that people actually believe him and think he’s not a neo-nazi cunt

I mean, for the menfolk that is a prerequisite for it...

Um, because the world is on a dangerously fast trajectory in terms of population and we'll run out of resources if people continue reproducing at the same rate.

Well, you can still do it without getting it up, it's just harder (or not as hard, I guess?).

[The Black Forrest]

So......they passed a bill to say "we think porn is bad".........Sorry it's on you Arizona citizens.......you voted for that bunch.......

[US-SSR]

Attempts to ban or restrict porn are as unlikely to succeed, and as damaging, as attempts to remove fantasy and imagination from human sexual experience. To the extent porn provides an outlet for otherwise unfilfilled desire it, and those involved in its production, provide a public service, not a public health crisis.

Proud Boys: cliques of incels who don't jack off enough. Explains a lot really.

[The Rich Port]

Wait, hold on, you wanked yourself white?

For the record pale skinned individuals can get vitiligo. It just doesn’t show up as well

It's also not how vitiligo works, or any autoimmune disease for that matter. Or how masturbation works for that matter.

Masturbating doesn't increase testosterone levels.

After the Projared debacle I'm inclined to agree.

(Joke)

What does the Projared debacle have to do with pornography?

...

*Don't look at the pictures floating aroud with him on twitter capische*


Which...I think counts.

I agree. I nearly had a stroke looking at those pictures, that is a health crisis.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

I agree. I nearly had a stroke looking at those pictures, that is a health crisis.

So, ban porn?

No, just ban Projared.

[Page]

No, just ban Projared.

Ya know, if he sent those things not knowing they were underage...but he didn't care if they were. There's making the mistake of not verifying, which, fair, both sides of who's guilty in that argument are equally valid. Then there's not caring period, and using Tumblr jesus christ for that.

Which brings up another porn thing:
Tumblr.

....

Nuke it. Nuke it to the ground.

Tumblr already nuked itself by banning porn.
