Drug Legalization; your view?

[Factorial]

I use the word 'we' and I will continue to use the word 'we', unless maybe you're physically broken and are no longer interested in the opposite sex.

Don't gays like porn?

[count2infinity]

I'm simply saying to compare the "need" for sex to the need for food is ridiculous, and this "need" for sex has nothing... absolutely nothing to do with porn. I have nothing against porn except for its tendency to make males look at women as pieces of meat. I think it's clear in your posting record that you enjoy that sort of thing. Good for you. But don't try to say it's a necessity for life.

Oh, you got me there.

Mmmm, women.

There are different kinds of categories and some are disgusting, even violent (unfortunately, that's where the industry has been pulling in recent years), yet there are websites and companies that put out high quality 'women-oriented' films where it is sensual and loving and many even feature real-life couples showing people how to, you know, have a nice, close, time together. It's really not as cut and dry as you put it.

I do feel that we need that outlet, one way or another, as it begins to gradually deteriorate one's well-being. As I said, try going without it for a while. It won't kill you, but even doctors will tell you that it is very beneficial to have a nice, regular, x-life. I do have a problem with those who consider sex to be dirty or gross or against some beliefs. It's not like that unless you make it and that becomes that individual's problem.

[Sarcastic]

btw, all you need to do is google something like 'health importance of sex' and spend the next couple hours reading how much benefit it brings, health-wise. This is off medical websites. So, yes, I would say, we need it. Dirty movie or not, that's for somebody to decide themselves, but it overall is an integral part of being human.

[count2infinity]

sex =/= porn. I think you are confusing the two. Did I not say I understand the human desires for sex? If not, yes... I get it. I'm human, too. But that has nothing to do with porn. Saying porn is needed because sex is needed is like saying the food network is needed because we need to eat. If that's your thing, cool, but it's not a necessary thing to have. I don't even want porn to be illegal. You're just making some very odd assertions.

During puberty the mind is obsessed about sex.

We do have a pretty nifty food porn thread on this site.

Russell brand is a smart smart person. I'm surprised how much I agree with him so often.

Being beneficial is not the same thing as being necessary. I feel it's important to draw a line here because defining something as a necessity can be a bit of a slippery slope towards justifying some pretty rank actions and/or attitudes.

I'm all for porn, btw. Since I've lived in Encino I've been in checkout lines at grocery stores with Ginger Lynn and Lisa Ann..... and I'm perfectly happy that I recognized them.

[columbia]

Did Ginger Lynn flash her card to get an AARP discount?

[tifosi77]

Ms. Lynn is only five years older than Mrs Tif. So, no.

[Gaucho]

Did she flash anything else?

[columbia]

Well, you can join at 50.

[Eismann]

Based on his comments, I would think Eismann would be all for making alcohol illegal again. Oh wait, he uses alcohol so that would be problematic.

I really respect your reasoning at least on most things, Factorial, but this is 100% wrong and disappointing. I feel like I've been talking to a wall on this subject, and is why I've turned snarky on it.

Drugs are great, pot is great, do more of it, make all narcotics legal, none of anyone's business. You win.

[shmenguin]

Yeah. Come on. It's not that he's saying that alcohol should be legal cause he likes it. He's saying it should be legal because its prohibition, incidentally, ended first. That's much more sound.

[Eismann]

Yeah. Come on. It's not that he's saying that alcohol should be legal cause he likes it. He's saying it should be legal because its prohibition, incidentally, ended first. That's much more sound.

No, I'm not. That goes back to alcohol vs. pot and it isn't what I'm interested in. Moot, anyway.

Drugs are great, pot is great, do more of it, make all narcotics legal, none of anyone's business.

[shmenguin]

No, I think I got it. Bad things are bad and shouldn't be allowed. Certain legal bad things are too pervasive to remove. They may be worse than bad things that aren't currently legal, but oh well, what can you do. Doesn't mean we should let more badness into society.

That sums it up. And in that regard, yes. You think alcohol should be legal because its prohibition was lifted before pot's and before you had the ability to protest.

No, still not close. Moot, anyway.

This is like that creationism debate a couple days ago.

[Eismann]

This is like that creationism debate a couple days ago.

Yeah. I'd say you have to add 'drug policy' to the list of stuff not to discuss at cocktail parties if you want to remain somewhat civil.

My bad, dudes. Wasn't my intention to go off like that.
