You dont have to watch it if you dont want to
You have the freedom of choice
This isn't about the well being of me as an individual. I care about what's good for other people, I don't view whats moral and what should be banned on whether or not I can personally not do it, its about whether others doing it is good or not
But even if that was so, the well being of me as an individual depends on the well being of the collective
I dislike individualism for this particular reason
Because it views all moral propositions thru the lens of "Will it hurt me, and can i just avoid it"
Yall wanna ban porn but not REGULATE guns
Wilddddd
What do you even define as moral or immoral
guns in and of themselves arent immoral
????? So
Guns really don't do anything without a human
Im pointing out how your analogy was bad
and useless
The man with the gun is what counts
Something is moral insofar as it's in accordance to gods will
Something is immoral insofar as it goes against gods will
@Sentient23 Sometimes Laws are put into place that do not reflect what is moral, but exist because human failings in pursuit of what is moral can fail. For me personally, for example, I am in theory for assisted suicide. But because of a conflict in interest, it is in the interest of insurance companies as well as doctors to recommend/push assisted suicide on patients even when they may not need it
@Sentient23 oh no
Here we go again
I didn't say that laws constitute morality
😭😭😭
That's their purpose
Which is why I would ban pornography
Because pornography is immoral. Not only does it harm the spiritual aspect of an individual, but it also destroys them mentally
"The entire point of banning something is to legislate that which is immoral lol"
Ni
Yes
you think that it is immoral
I dont
So?
How do you know you're right???
Pornography is immoral. It just satisfies the carnal mind
Who says uts objective
just because both of us have equal conviction doesn't mean both of us are right lol
I know
Which is why it should be banned
I'm saying why are you treating morality as if its objective
@valencia/Vaida That and it can cause addiction
Because i'm convinced its objective?
How
Because I'm a Theist who believes in a moral god
