<p>lol. awesooome.</p>
<p>Freaking epic. Facebook group please.</p>
<p>ok its officail </p>
<p>this is gonna be a CC meetup</p>
<p>It's awkward enough just to eat lunch with people you only know online....</p>
<p>I guess I'll see y'all at meet-up 3.</p>
<p>aww there's nothing wrong with a little porn</p>
<p>just like there's nothing wrong with a little crack?</p>
<p>porn isn't illegal.
crack is.</p>
<p>It should be. Do you truly believe pornography is not harmful?</p>
<p>Objectification of women
Glorification of unprotected, loveless, often forced sex
Addiction to sexual images, rapid desensitization leading to a need to act out sexual acts
Availability to children, ubiquity on the Internet, -->physical and psychological abuse of children
Dissatisfaction with real-life romance and relationships
Lurking variable in the 50% divorce-rate statistic?
Inability to relate to women emotionally
Fostering of violent behavior (serial killer Ted Bundy, anyone?)</p>
<p>From a Senate 2004 Senate hearing news report:
"Mary Anne Layden, co-director of the Sexual Trauma and Psychopathology Program at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Cognitive Therapy, called porn the "most concerning thing to psychological health that I know of existing today."</p>
<p>"The internet is a perfect drug delivery system because you are anonymous, aroused and have role models for these behaviors," Layden said. "To have drug pumped into your house 24/7, free, and children know how to use it better than grown-ups know how to use it -- it's a perfect delivery system if we want to have a whole generation of young addicts who will never have the drug out of their mind."</p>
<p>Pornography addicts have a more difficult time recovering from their addiction than cocaine addicts, since coke users can get the drug out of their system, but pornographic images stay in the brain forever, Layden said."</p>
<p>Objectification of women--its their decision
Glorification of unprotected, loveless, often forced sex--no
Addiction to sexual images, rapid desensitization leading to a need to act out sexual acts--lots of things cause addiction...ban video games then
Availability to children, ubiquity on the Internet, -->physical and psychological abuse of children--too bad
Dissatisfaction with real-life romance and relationships--unsupported, doesnt matter anyways
Lurking variable in the 50% divorce-rate statistic?--doesnt matter
Inability to relate to women emotionally--ok?
Fostering of violent behavior (serial killer Ted Bundy, anyone?)--no</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>lol wteff? hahahaha</p>
<p>have a stat for how many porn watchers are actually porn addicts? (the ones who can't relate to women emotionally or become serial killers)</p>
<p>pretty sure the ratio for crack addicts:users is higher than porn addicts:watchers lol.</p>
<p>and yeah, most of your argument also applies to declaring rap and/or video games as "illegal"...no thanks.</p>
<p>anyways is the FB event made yet?!?</p>
<p>I made the facebook event group so anyone who wants to join PM me or send me a msg on aim: shifood</p>
<p>zzzboy: your responses are both underwhelming and alarming. I think I should add your mentality toward the subject to my list. I know that there are a quiet minority reading this thread that agree with me. I've already sent a letter to the campus events commission protesting this screening, and I encourage you who are too timid to speak out here to do so by writing (anonymously if you like) to the UCLA CEC. You can find their contact information on their website. Please be logical, sincere, and non-accusatory or derogatory.</p>
<p>salty,
you are very ignorant :/</p>
<p>Oh! Thanks for drawing my attention to that! :rolleyes:</p>
<p>SaltyBruin12, worst troll ever?</p>
<p>i know you mean well salty but you just sound like one of those people who say video games are responsible for violent kids. or that crazy man scerri owned</p>
<p>so salty im guessing you want to eliminate black people because they are the dominant majority of rap singers, and as we all know rap tends to objectify women as well.</p>
<p>salty, i'm not saying you have the wrong idea or anything... but maybe your energy would be better spent elsewhere. </p>
<p>as in, anywhere but CC :rolleyes:</p>
<p>besides, instead of debating the specific reasons why porn is negative, and how negative it is relative to other things like video games or music, shouldn't the real debate be whether it's appropriate for UCLA to be allowing its organizations to display content which is legally defined as obscene?</p>
<p>for those interested, here's the 1973 ruling of the supreme court (miller v. california) that is the current definition of obscenity:</p>
<p>"(a) whether the 'average person, applying contemporary community standards' would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,</p>
<p>(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law, and</p>
<p>(c) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." </p>
<p>i'm not a legal nerd, this is from my education and law class which i'm currently taking. and now i'm detecting a topic for my final paper... hmm.</p>
