Those other industries have nothing to do with porn. There's literally no reason to bring them up UNLESS...you're trying to tie your argument for porn to them. You can't argue the virtues or goodness or lack of badness of porn by itself. You have to bring in another industry, find the seediness in it and use it as a defense that porn in and of itself is not that bad.
I wasn't trying to argue the virtues or goodness of porn. I never said there were any. But there is a very clear comparison between bodybuilding and porn, which you are now pretending not to see even though you've already acknowledged it. In the post I quoted from you, you mention G4P, schmoes, rampant death, drug use. Yeah, no comparison to porn whatsoever

And, once again, it wasn't even a defense of porn, it was just pointing out why someone who says something like "porn should be banned nationwide" shouldn't be taken too seriously. Why do you think the fact that I don't think porn should be banned means I'm desperately trying to convince you it's virtuous?
If you'd like, another time, I'd be more than happy to have an all out go at it in a porn vs. no porn thread. I have plenty of facts, examples etc. I know you don't want to make my argument for me but are you that morally corrupt that you can't see what's wrong with porn? (Rhetorical question).
Sure, let's do it. There's nothing stopping you from posting at least one fact and example here. I think the main reason you don't is because you are trying to play down the comparison to bodybuilding. It's painfully obvious why I made the comparison, anyone with 2 working brain cells can see the purpose of the comparison. But anything you say about the moral depravity of porn would most likely apply to pro bodybuilding... which you're perfectly aware of... which is why you're avoiding elaborating on it in any way. You've already conceded pretty much all of my points in previous posts, so it's just safer to kick the can down the road without stepping in it any further.
I think I'll be ok in moral highground department Al.
Why wouldn't you be? It was always imaginary, anyway.
