123. I have as much right as you to put forth and defend my point of view.
Why are you lecturing me?

If porn is so damaging then why is it that the more enlightened the society, the more readily legal porn is available?

Note, I'm not necessarily claiming that porn is not damaging but rather asking a logical question.

If you'll look at my first post again you'll see that I know my position will anger a lot of people, but that does not mean that I'm deliberately trying to anger anyone. I've just found that trying to rationally discuss some subjects angers people who have a strong emotional reaction to that subject.

Obviously you feel very strongly about the subject we are discussing, which in my view is all the more reason it should be discussed in a rational manner.

For what it's worth, I'm both a parent and a grandparent with three prepubescent grandchildren so I do have a dog in this particular fight. I want what is objectively best for my grandchildren, not what knee jerk position will make me feel the most righteous.
