CreateDebate is a social debate community built around ideas, discussion and democracy.
If this is your first time checking out a debate, here are some quick tips to help get you started:
Arguments with the highest score are displayed first.
Argument replies (both in favor and in opposition) are displayed below the original argument.
To follow along, you may find it helpful to show and hide the replies displayed below each argument.
To vote for an argument, use these icons:
You have the power to cast exactly one vote (either up or down) for each argument.
Once you vote, the icon will become grayed out and the argument's score will change.
Yes, you can change your vote.
Debate scores, side scores and tag scores are automatically calculated by an algorithm that primarily takes argument scores into account.
All scores are updated in real-time.
To learn more about the CreateDebate scoring system, check out the FAQ.
When you are ready to voice your opinion, use the Add Argument button to create an argument.
If you would like to address an existing argument, use the Support and Dispute link within that argument to create a new reply.
I'm only voting on this side because the other says it should be outright banned.
Porn CAN be beneficial but it depends on all the variables involved. Who is making it, what are they doing, who is watching it, what does it mean to the person watching, etc? There are some married couples who film their own and watch their own. And there are some porn stars for whom it's the only way they can earn a living. And there are people who may be inclined to take much worse real life actions if they didn't vent their desires by watching and masturbating, etc.
I'll grant that in the vast majority of cases the examples above aren't what's going on. So yes most of the time it really isn't beneficial. But, "most" is not enough reason by itself to outright ban it. Furthermore, I would not be surprised in the slightest if the most vocal opponents of porn actually have their own skeletons in their closet, whether it's other perverse sexual materials at their fingertips or if it's direct sexual activity of questionable nature so they hide it.
Ok what about the viewers? There are so many who want to stop it but can't ...including pastors. Several Pastors themselves have confessed.....and they are now out of ministry.
Its eating a lot of people up who can't quit.Both theists and atheists.
No one knows they watch it, and no one asks them to stop but they want to and they just can't.From child to adult
Let's ban video games because some people get addicted and waste their lives away.
Let's actually ban create-debate because some people get addicted to playing multiple personalities all day and night or even copy pasting other people's debates instead of doing something with their life.
Do you know the difference in torture and guilt between a food addict and a game addict? A game addict and a porn addict? A porn addict and a drug addict? Etc.
I don't think you feel the intensity of the motion
Can't is only a word and it limits human beings , I have personally known people who have defeated the most dreadful addictions by believing they can .. every journey starts with a first step no matter how small
What is addiction but a persistent desire to do something?
Anything wild can not overcome desires, though. Due to our civilised species, that comes as a threshold advantage. We can properly evaluate the stakes.
Yet, it amounts for just a bit less meaningless existence.
There are some social limitations on what you are supposed to do.
(If you can make your claim without using circular reasoning, go ahead. Else try something else. The way I see it going, I don't think you have any logic in it.)
I don't know why Am always explaining things to you megamind!!
1.its about Por.....
2.With that question, am trying to make you admit its not morally good.(thats why you wouldn't Encourage your children to watch porn, and why you won't let mom see you watching porn, if it were something good or beneficial as you say it, why would watch it away from mom unlike football or wrestling)
3.The question was personal: derived it from your answer and it still has everthing to do with the topic(its about 'porn')
I edited that to explain things better. Your irrelevance can be shown now. That isn't a hurry. I guess I did it where you couldn't keep pace.
So, do you want to say, what is more socially decent is the absolute morality?
Well, I'm not surprised to hear that from a convenient zombie.
But, if social acceptability defines morality, then what defines social acceptability? Or does it lie 'outside the realm of your possible understanding'?
You are the megamind of all morons. I made a statement based on your comment and you edit and tell me my statement is irrelevant? You don't even know what you wanna talk about. You are making arguments parralel to the motion. Man!! What are you tryna prove here....you make simple motions sound like we doing rocket science.....is that how you talk everywhere with your mom, friends, siblings etc. Without book knowledge would you have been a better human than you are now(i think so).....
I don't think you are contributing to this debate rather, your own motion(invisible to me:probably in your own mind).
I made a statement based on your comment and you edit and tell me my statement is irrelevant?
I edited it just after posting it, but you had clicked by then. (And you couldn't notice that something had changed when it showed your comment.)
you make simple motions sound like we doing rocket science
I hope you get better soon. So far, it's been so simple that even a pigeon could understand. I can't make it like your extraordinarily shallow claims, though.
Without book knowledge would you have been a better human than you are now
Better as in more convenient? You can only be more convenient as a slave without knowledge (and extreme reluctance to have any of it therewith).
I don't think you are contributing to this debate rather, your own motion(invisible to me:probably in your own mind).
Though it did begin from me saying about the nature of addictions, I can still easily handle all of your claims.
Say, I would continue watching instead of closing it, and even encourage my children to do so. Then what? Can you lead anywhere with that?
"I hope you get better soon. So far, it's been so simple that evena pigeon could understand. I can't make it like your extraordinarily shallow claims, though."
Am talking about your approach not comprehension. And you are usually away from the motion.... ......i was talking about whether or not porn is beneficial....
And you were Fully into defining addiction without giving any revelant contribution to the motion. The result(beneficial or not)of the addiction is the main thing here.
I asked a simple question about mom and child. You were to just Yes or No and elaborate a little maybe....but you went wayward talking about restrictions and some statements i will consider irrelevant in relation to my question.
"Better as in more convenient? You can only be more convenient as a slave without knowledge (and extreme reluctance to have any of it therewith)."
"BOOK KNOWLEDGE" i said....i hate misquoting.
Ok Socrates father of philosophy was in school......but all he said had nothing to do with school knowledge. He was a natural, infact he never wrote.... He was just talking....school is just the basics for knowledge(there are illiterates i know who are better thinkers than so called scientists)....
Socrates consulted an oracle and was told there was no one wiser than he is as at that time. He disagreed with the oracle and started a survey....at the end he realised even the commoners were wiser than the so called wisemen and intellectuals in his society. School makes people delusional(especially the less intelligent). They think they have found some greater source knowledge that the whole world is missing and so they put their all into it.
I am always challenging my teachers and they hate me asking questions...i just don't accept theories....i have a question in every line of a theory....All true geniuses are modest....they prefer being an ordinary person than a person caught in the midst of scientific theories. From albert, leonardo to whoever it will be at the end of the world. Science is just a hobby to them . Only the dimwits see science as a big deal and put their whole being into it. They feed off of the simple people's(the true geniuses) theories and then they call themselves intellects.(ridiculous).
Nothing you say is extraordinary to me...just that you make chicken slaughter look like a Dinasour slaughter.(in terms of approach not comprehension. You are overwelhmed by whatever crap you think you know and lost and still don't realise it.)
Maybe am disadvantaged with my English comparing it to yours(the problem i think).....
But if you and i only are to be in a competition where we will be taught something new in order to apply practically in the competition, i'm gonna beat you 10~0. Not because am intelligent but because you think you are but just delusional.....knowledge ain't shit to me.....its not about the nicest constructed tenses.
"Then what? Can you lead anywhere with that?"
I thought i explained this already? Do you read thoroughly what i type?
Am talking about your approach not comprehension. And you are usually away from the motion.... ......i was talking about whether or not porn is beneficial....
And you were Fully into defining addiction without giving any revelant contribution to the motion. The result(beneficial or not)of the addiction is the main thing here.
You shouldn't try to jump to results, else it will always be shaky and irrational.
I asked a simple question about mom and child. You were to just Yes or No and elaborate a little maybe....but you went wayward talking about restrictions and some statements i will consider irrelevant in relation to my question.
Those statements were to show how your question is irrelevant in relation to your topic. That whatever I reply, you can't lead to a conclusion.
Ok Socrates father of philosophy was in school......but all he said had nothing to do with school knowledge. He was a natural, infact he never wrote.... He was just talking....school is just the basics for knowledge(there are illiterates i know who are better thinkers than so called scientists)....
I know about Socrates. Father of philosophy? That'd be an exaggeration. It already seems that you don't know enough to make claims about him.
How do you prefer to gain knowledge? It must be a funny, primitive way.
Not because am intelligent but because you think you are but just delusional.....knowledge ain't shit to me.
That's what I call wilful ignorance.
But if you and i only are to be in a competition where we will be taught something new in order to apply practically in the competition, i'm gonna beat you 10~0.
If we are to battle using our knowledge, I'm gonna destroy your existence to the extent that you can no longer acknowledge a survival instinct inside you.
"You shouldn't try to jump to results, else it will always be shaky and irrational"
So you talked about everything and left the main thing?
"I know about Socrates. Father of philosophy? That'd be an exaggeration."
Ok let me say it this way .....Socrates father of western philosophy....satified?
"Those statements were to show how your question is irrelevant in relation to your topic."
Have you read all comments?Did you read thoroughly? Did you understand? Did they stick in your megamind? Or they sublimed?
"How do you prefer to gain knowledge? It must be a funny, primitive way."
Your are ridiculously ridiculous..........
I learn everything in humility, but i don't force them into my head so i can claim to be omniscience......
"If we are to battle using our knowledge, I'm gonna destroy your existence to the extent thatyou can no longer acknowledgea survival instinct inside you."
You have never had anyone insult your race so blatantly as i did....
Another Moron got hurt and came in disguise as in coming to contribute to almost all of my debates(weird how he finds interest in all of em) just like you do; smearing yourself all over my debates in order to get something against me so to start insults with no bases...........
I call him megamind and his skull bloats!! Lol...
Now i pitty you both....Haters are not God, Haters will never succeed.....
Two allied morons(twins).....One called Dimwit and the other Megamind(opposite~delusional shallow Brainer).
From now onwards i'mma start banning you whenever i sense your moronic genes vibrating.........
So am you giving you all one more channce to comment on this particular debate before i ban you. Democracy starts now....
No , the person in question came to correct you as you are not capable of defending any points you make because your a Ghanaian cabbage .
Haters are not god ? Yet god hated over a million people to wipe them out in the flood according to your fairy story ; somthere ya go.... wrong again :)
You're like you fellow Ghanaians a coward who cannot defend even one of the several questions you asked , you like your father a pathetic coward ....but hey he has a fish pond :)
Now you know how it feels. When you said i was tryna impress people with a lie when i wasn't. I don't even try trying to impress girls and they hate me for that not to talk of people here i don't know.
". My you are angry and hate filled , is life treating you that badly"
Hateful about? Can you tell me?
Remember hommies of rap ascension twitter &fb;, hora_republic instagr.,
Why would you try to impress girls if they hate you for not trying to impresss them ?
You've admitted you hate whites and called them pigs , you've admitted you hate our countries .... do I really need to go on ?
Homies of rap ascension please don't tell me it's Christian rap if it is I think you will have a very limited audience .... funny how you said god hates rock music because its demonic yet he likes rap why and how do you know ?
"You've admitted you hate whites and called them pigs , you've admitted you hate our countries .... do I really need to go on ?" i had never insulted any white untill you.
"he likes rap why and how do you know ?"
I said that?
And about the Rock.....did i say i read it? Or it was coming from me personally?Your are true Dimwit.
"Homies of rap ascension pleasedon't tell me it's Christian rap if it is I think you will have a very limited audience"
Do you know the difference between Hip hop(rap music mainly) and Rap(the art)?
Artistes who do hip pop here are not making money from it.
But over 70% of our artises here are rappers.( so what are they rapping?).....
You don't know my plans so stop making absurd suppositions..
Again more lies you insulted all whites read your posts fuckwit .
More lies re -read what you said or don't I couldn't give a fuck you're still a retard , rap is not an art you fucking idiot it's a bunch of fuckwits who cannot sing shooting their loser mouths off ......

You need some Hail Mary....Mother Of God(continue)..........
"Oh yeah forgot the whole world is waiting to hear a bunch of lazy work shy Ghanaians do .... Christian rap :) good career move retard ....."
Who said my(our) rec. label is about christian Rap? Aren't there other issues that can be addressed in rap? And who Said its only about rap music?(its just our main priority among other ilks of music, so we named it so!)
Again!!!
You don't know my plans so stop making absurd suppositions.
I'm an atheist fuckwit prayers are for losers ... like you .
It's is Christian rap you've admiited it stop lying , yes the whole world awaits Ghanaian Christian rappers sorting the world with .. crap sorry rap :)
I do know your plans you said yorur a CEO with a large company , you forgot already ?
I told you about theft. CNN declared the winner of Our election yesterday 7dec. While our EC has not yet declared. And Ghanaians are so conscious about theft. They think CNN is tryna stir up a fight in Ghana so that some peace keeping robbers will come and steal our oil, Gold, Diamond, Bauxite, Cocoa etc.
There is no comment by Wiwi you cannot help lying can you ?
If we take your raw materials it's only because you're a bone idle nation like Nigerians who refuse to do an honest days work , you should be thanking us for using the resources you have not the intelligence to utilise yourselves .... you're welcome :)
You moron. If there was no Wiwi then how did you reply to my comment over there. You disguised your name like a Ghanaian.
You named yourself 'Kraman' meaning Dog in 'Twi'.(What a coincidence when we have been talking about dogs).
You also used your usual vulgar language. Ghanaians have a way of insulting and its certainly not your style.
Plus no Ghanaian will call himself a Dog......a Ghanaian would rather call himself Devil 'Bonsam'.
Quite unfortunate i can't send screenshots here.
I calculated the time i posted that comment and when i told you about it and when you replied on that other website, the time you replied here and the number of hours ahead of those comments.
And you also never had your own comment. You only replied to only my comment a few minutes after i had commented and that reply also came after i had told you about it.
Whether you are a theist or an atheist pornography is terrible for the heart and mind. it gives the viewers a false view of what intimacy looks like. Intimacy in a relationship in not sex, intimacy is sharing feelings and literally thinking as one for the benefit of the other, and sacrificing yourself for your significant other. Sex can no doubt be involved in a relationship, but it is not the backbone to any good relationship. Pornography creates an unreal image that no man or woman can ever fulfill leading to self esteem issues and depression. Also, pornography leads to infidelity and lack of commitment in a relationship, which are two of the leading causes of divorce.
Do you realise that porn is under the category of entertainment? Porn overall doesn't need to be realistic in all its aspects. If you wish to have or watch this "real" pornography that is, why not just galavant out amongst your righteous SJW friends for "real" sex. I can only surmise that your reality or knowledge of the dictionary are distorted. Pornography isn't one of those mentioned "leading causes of divorce", if there is such a thing. In fact porn might even give suggestions to better make ones sex life more exciting. Other couples do watch porn by themselves,
