jub I admitted VERY early in this discussion that I was never going to be able to objectively prove that pornography hurt any specific woman because that would take access to the woman that I did not have, and that at any rate she might not allow. However, my moral compassion for humans is intuitive:

wow... that's a weak argument. i must say, its very good of you to admit your argument is based on nothing more than "intuition", i'd love to see you argue a case in a court of law.

I do not need laboratory proof or empirical studies to know that some things are beneath the dignity of persons.

now thats a priori. that is all you have to stand on?

I cannot prove the objectification of women in pornography on matierialistic grounds (which, I assume, are the only grounds which you would respect) I can only endorse that theory on the grounds of being, I hope, a human being.

ROFL!

hey, im willing to take any logical argument, no matter what the form.

a theory without an iota of proof, interesting concept.

The only thing I know about porn stars is that it would cause me great pain if one of them was my daugher, my mother, or my sister.

so what exactly have you been arguing the past 9 pages? you just claimed to know nothing about porn stars or the industry, but still feel qualified enough to remark upon what is dignity? luvluv, you continue to amaze me.

Lady, on the same take you would have to be against those romance novels that girls seem to like to read - it gives them the wrong idea of what a romantic relationship is all about. Also against all the violent movies - gives the wrong impression about guns, driving cars at high speeds, etc.</strong>
