Pornography is not some innocent indulgence. It is dangerous and harmful. It cannot ever produce a net good upon its user. It's not like playing a sport or game where effects incidental of the enjoyment are beneficial to the participants. Pornography is always bad.
And once again, we go from here to there with nothing in between. A good argument starts with a set of facts, and then gradually introduces more facts and commentary until the conclusion is the natural outcome. Your arguments start and end at the same place, assuming facts that you never introduced and that, arguably, aren't even facts.
My opinions are just as good as anyone else's. You are free to do research and substantiate or dissubstantiate them. I'm not interested in finding and providing that research in this context as noted elsewhere in this thread.
I don't need to "do research and substantiate or 'dissubstatiate' them". Your opinion does not matter to me. You said something, I think you're wrong. I am going to continue advocating the awesomeness of porn, and there's nothing you can do about it.
It seems like most of the educated world agrees with me, so right or wrong, I probably win.
And finally, I disagree that your opinions are any good. A good opinion is based on provable facts and personal experience. Your opinions are based on neither!
(My opinion is better, because I have personal experience with porn. You speak in absolutes, but are clearly wrong, because I look at porn and this action hasn't adversely affected my life in any way. If your argument was correct, my life would currently be ruined.)
