if someone spits in your face are you going to respect them? no

human race... things have changed and evolved use your common sense and use your knowledge.

respect is obviosly something that needs to be earned or else why do we have inmates in our prisons?

Putting it simply so that you can understand. Porn is immoral, wrong in every sense of the word.  It is degrading to sex, both male and females.  Has done nothing positive for our society, not to mention the world we raise our children.  It's done more harm to little children growing up today than you will allow your mind to comprehend.

What about married couples who record themselves having sex for their own enjoyment? That's called home-made porn.

What about a woman who takes sexy nude pictures of herself for her husband or boyfriend and sends them to him because he is in the military and can't have her in person?

What about my boyfriend and I, who draw porn for eachother, of eachother?

What about when a consenting couple buys a porn DVD together with intent to watch it together for enjoyment together?

What about a wife/girlfriend who buys a magazine or dvd for her SO's birthday as a suprise?

All these things you aren't considering. At all. It's almost as if you deny they even happen. That there's no possible way that these things could even exist. Porn does less harm than you insist it does. It can be enjoyable by consenting adults, who are responsible and know how to excercise control and set limits and boundaries. Both men and women watch it, both men and women enjoy it, and not every single person who ever used porn exposes it to children. That's a humongous blanket statement, and an unrealistic generalization.

You really should try opening your mind just enough to consider that maybe porn isn't always bad, and ins't always going to mean the demoralization and destruction of someone's life. My boyfriend is a good person. He's one of the most caring, smart, and loving persons I've ever met. That's why I fell in love with him. He and I share porn. Does that make him an immoral and bad person? No. In fact, it's added some spark to our relationship, one which we have been in for almost 2 years and he and I were both virgins the first time we had sex. See? Porn has not made him an immoral person, nor has it destroyed our sex life. Also, I have a three-year-old niece that has never been exposed to porn. Never. She's doing just fine.

I think you are scared to admit that you might be wrong about some aspects of porn.

Hello Dr. Phil, My name is JaLeesha, I am 20 years old and I am a junior in college. Today by far was the day, I made sure I watched your show. This topic is such a controversy among blacks and whites. I will be candor, I use the word with my friends and when I am making a gesture towards a male who promiscuous and no good. I feel the word only has power if you give it power. My grandmother and I are at different stand points on this word, she feels the word should never be used and thats a pejorative word used towards blacks. For myself it a cultural norm, I hear the word in songs with rappers and in my environment in school. Reluctantly, I was not raised in a home where the word frequent my parents lips. I have become cultured over the years and have grown beyond what people seem to see the surface meaning. I feel as black people we have created negative to a positive. I think what some people fail to realize is that its all about the generation you come from. My grandmother came from an era in time where there was segregation, my mother came from a time where there was segregation to integration, and with me I have been able to experience the Idea of the melting pot. I am from the south, a small town of North Carolina now to hear that word used there I would honestly get offended. White people fail to realize its just something that is uncomfortable. We often can tell when people are trying to be funny and being racist. I will admit, I have had friends throughout middle school and high school who have used the N-word. Consequently they were white, my reaction wasn't so much as hate, but it just did not sound good coming from someone who not of my ethnicity. I agree with Sheryl Underwood completely, she is the perfect example, I feel she was a great representative for black people especially black women.  Paul Mooney and extraordinary actor, I have seen several of his acts and each time I walk away laughing. I feel with time as generations tend to go on the word will become less of an issue.
