Natural concerns *natures* not the natural world (in this context)

2020-03-12 13:12:42 UTC  

I'll respond to that in a bit

2020-03-12 20:18:16 UTC  

My laptop is dying, and my charger is no longer working. I'm not gonna be on my computer for a few days

Don't know if I should put this in philosophy or serious, but I was having this discussion on another server.
I would consider pornography immoral. But I don't know if I would ban it, simply because I do not think you can legislate virtue

2020-03-13 22:26:39 UTC  

And someone asked me: what if someone makes their paycheck through drawing/participating in pornography? And I do not know what is more immoral: those whose subsistence depends on the creation immoral material, or those who use the immoral material in the immorality

2020-03-13 22:26:55 UTC  

Even if you don't think pornography is immoral, I'd be curious to see what you think about this

2020-03-13 22:42:40 UTC  

I think this might be more of a serious topic

2020-03-13 22:44:04 UTC  

The entire point of banning something is to legislate that which is immoral lol

2020-03-13 22:45:07 UTC  

Its equally Immoral but I would say that its more immoral to make pornography, since you're making souls into becoming sinful - basically subverting them

2020-03-13 22:45:37 UTC  

I mean

2020-03-13 22:46:04 UTC  

I dont think pornography is inherently immoral

2020-03-13 22:46:10 UTC  

I think there are problems within it

2020-03-13 22:46:41 UTC  

Of course you don't, liberal

2020-03-13 22:46:51 UTC  

okay

2020-03-13 22:47:00 UTC  

It's a job

2020-03-13 22:47:09 UTC  

Isn't pornography inherently degrading of women?

2020-03-13 22:47:16 UTC  

not necessarily

2020-03-13 22:47:21 UTC  

It can be

2020-03-13 22:47:34 UTC  

Depends what categories

2020-03-13 22:47:42 UTC  

And girls watch porn too

2020-03-13 22:48:17 UTC  

So what if its a job lmao

2020-03-13 22:48:25 UTC  

Just because its a job doesn't mean its not immoral

2020-03-13 22:48:40 UTC  

Well I dont think that it is immoral in the first place

2020-03-13 22:48:45 UTC  

Pornography is immoral because it promotes weakness, and the pursuit of immediate pleasure

2020-03-13 22:49:00 UTC  

If the society is drugged up on this, it will fail and die

2020-03-13 22:49:02 UTC  

You dont have to watch it if you dont want to

2020-03-13 22:49:13 UTC  

You have the freedom of choice

2020-03-13 22:50:25 UTC  

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

2020-03-13 22:50:34 UTC  

I dislike individualism for this particular reason

2020-03-13 22:50:52 UTC  

Because it views all moral propositions thru the lens of "Will it hurt me, and can i just avoid it"

2020-03-13 22:51:25 UTC  

Yall wanna ban porn but not REGULATE guns

2020-03-13 22:51:27 UTC  

Wilddddd

2020-03-13 22:51:58 UTC  

What do you even define as moral or immoral

2020-03-13 22:52:02 UTC  

guns in and of themselves arent immoral

2020-03-13 22:52:16 UTC  

????? So

2020-03-13 22:52:23 UTC  

Guns really don't do anything without a human

2020-03-13 22:52:27 UTC  

Im pointing out how your analogy was bad

2020-03-13 22:52:34 UTC  

and useless

2020-03-13 22:52:39 UTC  

The man with the gun is what counts

2020-03-13 22:53:30 UTC  

Something is moral insofar as it's in accordance to gods will
Something is immoral insofar as it goes against gods will

2020-03-13 22:53:34 UTC  

@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
