WHO CARES

about dignity of pornstars!!?!?!


about phycological disorders?!??!


damnit i need some porn....never had to whack one out this bad in my LIFE

[Mr.Bill]

Lowcrawler, Im pretty sure I speak for all of us when I say,


I could of live a longer, and much happier life... Without knowing that.

:-D

[Malevolent]

I agree with Mr.Bill on that one.

[That Annoying Kid]

CForrester, A+ for you, That's something most of us here (I think ) can do. :-D


And for the record, the reason Pot is banned, is because you can actually make a real cheap paper from pot, REALLY easily, so they banned it so that companies can get a profit and make sure no one else can do it.


Other wise that whole "drug addiction" thing is a bonus they used to cover up.


God, I love history.

sactly, Forrester hit the nail on the head. Take any 16 + male and ask them if they masturabate on a regular basis, if they say no they are lying. Adam Carolla said it in a very interesting way: If you leave me alone with myself for more than 30 minutes, the odds are very good that I will beat off. The part that I found amusing was how Dr. Drew immediatly commented on what that says about Adam :p

Mr. Bill even though it's O/T, if you replaced marijuana with the tobacco that was grown in the 13 colonies I would bet MUGA that dojer would be legal in this day and age, and everyone all would hide in alleys and dark spots and smoke tobacco .


and dignity of porn stars....  o_O  v_v

all I'm going to say is that chances are the actors made a concious chose for themselves to be in the "films" so it's a moot point

[JohnTheGarbageman]

THC is a hallucinogen, nicotine is a stimulant. I doubt people would be getting their soft stimulant fix from tobacco, its just not quite as interesting as marijuana. Or can you imagine someone saying "Hey, you've got to try it - you'll feel slightly energized and fidgety, like having a coffee" ? :p

Not that I personally care a whole lot, if we were going to devolve down the legalisation road I'd have to agree that adverse health effects aren't strong enough in marijuana to warrant disallowing consumation and posession.

teehee.. i killed a kitten!

which is ok because im DEATHLY allergic to cats.

cats=bane of my exsitence

I sense an interesting and enlightening discussion here, illicit substances are a multi billion dollar industry that could be easily capitalized upon, taxed, regulated, etc. Not to mention it would be much easier to address problems of abuse and treatment. Picture a world where you want to smoke a little bombski but can still be a productive active member of society, get good grades, pay taxes, etc then go right ahead. You had a hard day at the office and want some affect regulation with that yowder? take a line or two but if you get out of hand here is all the local places to help deal with your problem.

if other peeps are down for some discussion forums status talk on this subject just say so and we can have TLM == NSF discussion forum part deuce

but this is a thread about porno and becoming free from it so I'm not going to hijack any more

[snapback]37482[/snapback]

Actually, it doesn't really fit in to any category.

Cannabis is unusual in that it produces effects similar to those of many different psychoactive substances. The drug does not easily slot into any of the normal psychoactive groups (depressants, stimulants, hallucinogens) and displays characteristics distinctive to all three. A group of people using cannabis may swing from introspective states of dreamy detachment to high-energy conversation and collective euphoria.

By the way, catnip is a hallucinogen if smoked. Catnip tea is a relaxant. (I have catnip tea sometimes. It's very nice, but some people might find it to be too bitter.) I haven't smoked it yet, though.

[Dubbilex]

Caffeine is very destructive, though. It's a little difficult to notice because it's so incredibly widespread, moreso than porn, and nearly constantly being consumed. For example: People get so addicted to caffeine that, if they can't have their coffee in the morning, they feel drowsy all day. They're irritable, on-edge and depressed. Caffeine becomes a part of their life. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that caffeine is physically addictive as well as mentally addictive. (Porn isn't physically addictive.) Read this for information on how caffeine works.

I think a movement to help caffeine addicts doesn't exist (or exists and is very small) because of the fact that caffeine has become so integrated in to peoples' lives that it's incredibly difficult to remove and most people just plain don't care. More people care about porn addiction because the Church opposes porn and masturbation and so many people have been brought up to think that porn is wrong. (But not caffeine.)

So it's not necessarily because porn is a bigger problem, it's just getting more publicity.

Caffeine has been proven to help prevent diabetes.  DOES PORN PREVENT DIABETES?

I, along with many others, sure hope it does.

No, but it helps prevent prostate cancer. :p

I don't know about you, but I can masturbate without porn just fine.

Compare the pro's and con's of porn with the pro's and con's of violent media if you must, but don't go telling me about the medical benifits of porn.

[snapback]37512[/snapback]

actually, looking at porn has been proven to increase your heart rate enough that it can almost count as cardiovascular exercise. about 30 minutes per day can increase your ALE by 2-10 years.

Wasn't that on ebaums world?

God forbid you do something strenuous like walking up a flight of stairs as an alternitive...

[sonic]

So the next time I feel the need to masturbate, i'll just walk up some stairs, thanks swift!

Brainiac, though, put this to the test, and found it not to be true. While looking at porn WILL increase your heart rate, it cannot measure up to genuine exercise. Sorry guys.

In fact, pretty much EVERY attempt to find a replacement for exercise has failed. It's amazing how much effort people will use on trying to be lazy.

Suggested sports are rowing, swimming and skiing. I'd vote for rowing, as it includes social life too.

Surely, you jest!  Geeks will work 'till the end of time to find a replacement for excercise that's both easier and more hedonistic.  It's already been written.

[Mr.Bill]

Heres an idea


Get 2 spare computer cases, mod then to have a bar connecting the two (reinforce if needed) and use those to do weights

Once your good with those, start adding old harddrives, and heatsinks. Bam, Your keeping fit, AND staying nerd.



But people! really! weed was banned because of the paper industry!

Sorry for being simplistic about the matter, however a fair sum of substances don't smoothly fit a single of the 3 basic categorys. Thats why they're called basic categorys. The borders are just as wishy-washy with MDMA (ecstasy), which is also either described as hallucinogen/stimulant or more fittingly as "something entirely else".

Its my understanding we were discussing the effects of the commonly consumed varietys. Either way though, you're completely right



Edit : Even alcohol is funny. The biggest, most common party drug around, yet its a depressant

Most drugs have some sort of primary function, and on TOP of that function they fit into one of the three catagories...  It gets complicated when the primary function and the general catagory conflict with eachother, but they usually are still knowticable... The intended effect being distinct from the secondary side effects.
