More importantly in terms of net domestic migration the overwhelming majority of people are going to the states in blue. Particularly Florida andTexas.

I have a perfectly fine moral framework

According to what?

Not everyone has the same beliefs and negative attitude toward it

Not everyone thinks female circumcision is bad either.

for some it can even have a positive impact.

Lol

I don’t believe in absolutist terms.

Do you absolutely believe that?

While your continued failure to comprehend my initial comment is astonishing

Your initial comment is indicative of somebody who hasn’t thought seriously about their worldview but feels confident about critiquing others.

You realise most of that could be flipped to say the same thing about religion too, right?

Lol okay. What is your worldview that’s so great it’s going to set me straight? Let me guess “live and let live dude…”

I’m a Christian. The Gospels are very clear about monogamy and that women are to be cherished and treated with respect. I respect women and recognize they are preyed upon constantly by our over-sexualized culture into dressing more provocatively, chasing impossible lifestyles and possibly having an onlyfans or whatever.

And religion has arguably done more harm to women than porn ever has or will, so if porn is evil, religion must be too.

Even if there was a way to quantify that claim (there’s not) and I argued from some tradition like Islam (which I don’t) you don’t even have a moral framework to argue from so your critique is meaningless. You don’t know what is harmful and what isnt. This proven by your next “points”.

With places like onlyfans surging in popularity, women (and men) are much less likely to be exploited these days.

Says who? Youth and chastity are being exploited. You don’t think showing your genitalia to the entire world at 18 will have negative effects to mental, emotional and spiritual health now or later in life? It’s nihilistic, degenerate and utterly devoid of meaning and promise. It is the basest form of entertainment, income and existence. It’s disgusting and everyone secretly knows it which is why your initial comment was a vague, limp-wristed platitude instead of direct defense of pornography. Something you still lack the conviction to say authoritatively because you know what I’m saying is true.

There’s a lot less degrading content out there

Like you would know what is degrading and what isnt.

many healthy couples who watch (and make) porn together, with no negative impact on their lives.

“Healthy”. Yeah that sounds real healthy. They are so healthy they have to resort to watching other people having sex when they should be spending time together making or raising kids. Who knows the conditions of the poor souls they are watching.

The fact that you think watching porn is healthy is an indicator that it has had a negative impact on your life.

You have no moral framework which is why this is fine to you. Porn is so disgusting and degenerate you have to be wilfully ignorant or totally blinded not to recognize it.

No one wants their daughter to grow up to be a porn star or their son to grow up to be a porn addict. That in and of itself should be enough evidence that it is a scourge with no generative potential for anyone.

The fact that you think that’s a burn just proves my point. If you watch porn you should seriously stop. It’s terrible for your brain chemistry, personal relationships, emotional health, vitality and spiritual state. It exploits women and severely damages the way men see women. Human sexuality gets hijacked and instead of having a loving relationship people are stuck in private viewing shameful images and pleasuring themselves for years not understanding that they are literally wasting their life and potential. People get addicted to the instant release of porn which harms personal relationships and longer-form activities that take continual effort and nuance and bring a higher order of pleasure and happiness. It’s probably good that porn frequently distracts people from having kids because undoubtedly the child would eventually be exposed to it purposefully or not by the parent at some point. So even if I accept your premise – porn is evil.

Go back to watching porn.

Profound.

If you have a position state it directly instead of hiding behind a low effort platitude.

Irrelevant to what I said.

Sexual desire is one thing. Pornography is another. Porn is evil.

This is depressing.

Again. It’s not about him or this story.

It has nothing to do with this story. It has to do with making assumptions. It could have been an article about anything else where people confidently proclaim something with absolutely no evidence. How you still don’t understand that is mind boggling.

I’m just pointing out the pre-programmed assumptions people make. Nobody knows anything about the shooter yet they are certain he’s a racist even though it’s never mentioned once anywhere while homophobia was called out multiple times. It’s less about racism and more about jumping to conclusions. Somehow no one is picking up on that.

I’m not defending anything. I’m just calling out OP for acting on his programming instead of the facts in the article which mention nothing about racism at all.

This is evidenced by you providing no evidence to support your claim despite that being the only thing I asked for and you could have used it to dunk on me and make me look stupid.

What races is he racist against? How do you know he was racist against his victims and not just a homophobe?

Are you saying this Hispanic dude in the San Antonio suburbs is a 16th century Conquistador living in a community of people he hates?

In the 19th century civilians could own canons which were peak military technology at the time.

Against who and how do you know?

moron

Okay where does it say the killer was racist? That should be easy for a smart guy like you.

Now that we know that the killer is Sigfredo Cejo Alvarez I suppose we can ask him. We all know how much Hispanics hate American Indians.
