      Alot of the arguments are centered around children, so it does affect them more

      Can you cite any evidence that arguments are centered around children, and that it affects them more?

      Seriously? Do you actually doubt those two things, and you haven't heard people talking about children accessing porn throughout this discussion?

      Scroll through the matt Walsh thread, he is the most prominent voice in this debate. See how often he talks about children. There's a difference between asking someone to quantify an opinion and being obtuse to win a war of attrition

      I spend most of my time working through the original research literature, and I did not find any evidence for the claims there.

      But you did find the claims then, which is the first thing you wanted a citation for, so why would you ask me to scroll through thread after to show you something you already saw?

      I had never seen these claims in the scientific record, that is why I asked you for citation. But Walsh, as far as I just saw, is completely irrelevant, as he doesn't refer to scientific sources. He is uttering opinions.

      Huh? I said alot of people are centering thier arguments around children, and instead of looking what people said, you said I didn't see it in my book. If you never saw anyone arguing that can you show me the person claiming "porn effects every adult but me"?

      The most prominent figure on one side of the argument is irrelevant, even if were not even arguing the claims yet, and are talking about what the claims are?

      If you are making thus far reaching calls as he does on a phenomenon that is related to a large corpus of scientific research, and you don't refer to that research, you are irrelevant.

          I see two possibilities, you spent a bunch of time fact checking the claims of the anti porn side without trying to find out what those claims are, or you knew exactly what I was talking about when I said peoples arguments are centered around children accessing porn

          I'm kind of starting to suspect your doing more of a parody of logic rather than actual logic.

          Huh? Just to be clear. You think " pornography is dangerous for every adult but me" is a better representation of what the anti porn side is saying than "children have to much access to porn" ?

          Anyways I will make clear what I'm stating - people in this debate are claiming that porn is more harmful children than adults -spending 7 seconds googling "affect of porn in children " reveals a mountain of studies stating that it does -you are say citation please 1/

          As a way to make communication onerous, not because you think my claims are unsubstantiated. Which part do you think I'm making up?
