Why world wont block porn?

It seems that in todays world too many people care about nothing as much as they care about money, and there's a lot of money in porn.
Just like tobacco and alcohol, getting people hooked on porn at a young age ensures lifelong consumers and, therefor, lifelong profits.

 

Yes brothers, for the same reason they won't block junk food, cigarettes and alcohol! We think governments rule the world but the real truth is big corporations do, because big corporations means big money, therefore security for the elite. The bigger the income for these industries the bigger the taxes, the 'healthier' the nation will seem. People are suffering and although governments say they care, how many really do? Set an example and block this filth!

 

To keep the people under control spread between them sex, drugs and ignorance, look around you and see how the people closing to animals.

Rights Reserved " freemasonry and the politicans "

 

We don't want government censorship of the internet like in China. We can fix our issues with mindset and willpower.

 

Bro help me out

What is programmed blocking, whether on an individual or collective level?

It's a kind of automation.

Automation = don't have to think about it.

Don't have to think about it = being unconscious

Even if the powers that be are benevolent, it still keeps you from taking responsibility for your own behavior. And that means being taking care of like a child.

The world is not going to change for you, but you can change yourself. But when your change is deep enough you start changing the world around you, that's what true leadership is.

 

IMO, banning is not going work very well. The US Prohibition era is a prime example!
Tax, on the other hand, works wonder! Vices, be it drugs, prostitiution, porn, are ludicrous businesses! Tax the shit out of them, and use that money on damage mitigation and prevention program is better!

 

I agree with you but you're forgetting one very important point, the addiction more often than not takes root at a very early age, we're seeing kids as young as 10 on here. Often when kids become 18 years old they are looking at what, 5 or 6 years of daily use in the review mirror? At that point the addiction will have completely taken over, it won't be a matter of choice but one of necessity.
The developing brains of kids that young, especially prone to this stimulant must be protected by legal measures. All these kids will care about is the pleasure of it, most of them won't be aware of the negative consequences nor will they care. Most of the harm is being done in that 14-18 years old age group. The rewiring process almost simultaneously takes places with the development of the rest of the brain. And so it will be harder to overcome the addiction at a later age, it will be a part of the addict, an identity almost.
At 12 or 13, you can't buy a beer but if you have an internet connection you have free access to another drug. Doesn't make sense. It's not normal but above all it's pretty dangerous. Kids that young simply don't have that kind of willpower.

 

I'm new at this,but I quit drinking 20 years ago. Same premise, one day at a time,keep active,talk with others for help,seperate from temptation. It's how all addiction is broken.

 

Parents are supposed to police kids. Not the government. No to censorship,yes to personal responsibility.

 

Nothing I said contradicts this nor did I say we shouldn't have laws about it at all, it is a matter of a broader overall perspective.

I also don't think you're qualifying for anything beyond age. Again in general it is true, but at the same time kids that young from challenging backgrounds do come through successful in life but obviously there's going to be helpful mentorship and the like.

Which brings us back to what can help them. Is blocking porn the only thing? Or even just one thing, saying they don't have the discipline also doesn't help them. I realize you were talking to me but at least pointing out the reality of the world and the way reliance on automation effect us is a beginning in terms of useful thinking to understand.

 

Addicted people are apathetic and apathetic people let others lead and don't challenge.

 

And leadership in caring is one thing we can all do. This has to be distinguished from the belief any general measure like blocking or laws can take care of everything though. We obviously have to deal with practicalities at every level. A general measure without caring for all the details of life is just not taking responsibility for the rest of the details, which is why everyone has to practice self care and not rely on others. Mothers who do everything for the kids is one good example of enabling such apathy rather than encouraging people to move towards a solution.

As the world in general gets worse the only thing we have to counter that is real caring for the details rather than trying to change the institutions that are failing. Sadly I don't think people necessarily even pay enough attention to notice let alone really support that kind of dynamic.

 

"I also don't think you're qualifying for anything beyond age" .
Not sure what you're trying to say.

 

Just that. Kids of the same age may have different levels of being at risk depending on things like family life, other mentorship, peers eetc.Going by time whether it's number of years alive or number of days in reboot is far too simplistic.

 

Level of maturity. I understand.

 

I agree that porn ought to be controlled, the situation that anyone with a device can access any amount of totally vivid porn without any restriction is ludicrous. Unfortunately, any such suggestion is equated with censorship and repression.

I run my home network through OpenDNS which keeps porn off it, but on 4G networks it's impossible.

 

Not just them but the maturity of the family and community. After all they have to get that from somewhere.
