NO

Side Score: 3

The youth of the past didn't have porn sites. Today's youth are jerking bacon at a pace that would make any pig squeal.

Side: YES

Yes, the youth of today are doing exactly what the Liberal media conditions them to doing.

The messages from the Left, from sit-coms, from hollywood, is a no fault anything goes culture. It tells kids they are responsible enough for sex.

It tells them that if you are not drinking, having sex, taking drugs, etc. then you are a nerd.

There have always been a certain number of kids who rebel, but today it is everywhere because it is no longer considered rebellion. Today it's called being who you are and that you should love yourself just the way you are.

LOL, what bleeding heart drivel destroying so many young people's lives.

The main reason for this immoral self love culture is the break down in our family unit(caused by what I described above).

Kids are rebelling left and right from the lack of fathers and love at home. Case workers make terrible parents.

Side: YES

The youth of today will be blind by age 28 from staring at those phones and looking at rabbit porn all day.

Side: YES

yes, with internet making it very accessible for any one to jack off, the only thing that works in this generation is self - censorship, any kid today can have access to content that is adult - oriented, I feel this is where parents should step in, to make sure "pleasure" isn't an addiction, given that many of today's youth could be more effective provided the resources given to them, there is an equal responsibility of parents to make sure that the innocence of youth doesn't stand in way of their child's achievements. This includes teaching discipline and self control right from a very young age. But on the other hand,we do have people making most of their youth, even with pornography being common with everybody of today's generation. Youth cannot be blamed for all this, as it is simply accessible to them, and who wouldn't want pleasure?? I'm pretty sure if internet would have developed 5-6 decades ago, to the extent it has today, the youth back then would've also faced the same consequences as today's youth are facing.

Everybody is more interested in pleasure than work, if we're all being honest. It's biochemical. Pleasurable activity feels good, for everyone, no exceptions.

That's dopamine, serotonin and GABA for you.

Side: YES

The youth of every generation have been more interested in the pursuit of pleasure than academic work. The same goes for most adults.

I think you should elaborate more on what you mean by "pleasure." Sure, everybody would rather be enjoying life than doing work, but who say academic work can't be fun? Doesn't reading bring pleasure?
