I consider that to be LIFE…we live in a balance of Yin and Yang, not all good or all bad. That is our reality.
There is no “best good” unless looking outside of our reality or looking at our species on a grand scale…which most of us avoid daily. In that concept God would be the “best good”.
It may be the “best good” for your daughter to be a lawyer…but hey, she wants to play soccer…so is it the “best good”? Does that make soccer EVIL?
That is how you came across before.

Well, certainly there are degrees. And yes I agree that the “best good” can be impossible to fully know or judge. But, to me, the degree of bad/evil is judged by distance from it either way. And while I can’t say for certain which exact actions are exactly in line with the best good, I can have a broader idea of general direction and I can certainly know things that are miles away from it.
And lawyers are evil. [/quote]
Ok, I will say this…EXTREME PORN WATCHING is for people with a dysfunction or addiction. I think you can be exposed to it too much.
Soon, your Saturday night becomes sitting on the couch in front of a Hustler DVD instead of even trying to meet real people.
I do not agree in labeling all porn as “evil”. That strikes me as someone who has never actually watched any porn.
I think it can have POSITIVE uses even in relationships if for no other use than to expose the couple to different things they can try. I think it is a negative if the man in the relationship is watching porn OVER having sex with his woman. That may point to problems internally.
In short, I think your initial reaction is what I see most often…and is the most illogical and emotion driven.
No, I seriously doubt most women are treated like shit in porn today. Some of these ladies literally RULE the industry in their own way…something that would have never been seen in even the 60’s.
You may not like it, but to call it EVIL is irrational.[/quote]
See, here we are having a decent rational discussion and you seem to start back up with the personal attacks.
You are using a different definition of the word. I’ve already agreed with you in the context of your definition.
There is little illogical or emotional in what I’ve said.
Edit: and as normal your irrational bigoted assumptions about me are way off the mark.
