You're taking that quotation of mine out of context. I was answering why I think I'm well adjusted despite seeing all those supposedly harmful images DBT wants to censor.
Explain precisely what you mean by censorship in this context, please.
It's a good idea to stick with the issues and not attack those who debate the issues in good faith. Am I wrong about the porn laws being ineffective aside from politicians getting elected by pacifying the voters?
I'm hesitating to respond to that because it appears to be a trap.
I don't need to talk about myself because you keep doing that for me.
I agree.
It definitely would be if you were trying to promote something illegal like kiddie porno.
What's your evidence? I hope it's statistical and peer-reviewed, not some other personal anecdote.
That's an interesting point. I used to be a graphic designer, and I learned that designing an ad or any other graphic meant for public viewing is very tricky business. People generally ignore ads and do not respond to them by buying the product promoted. But of course an effective ad can increase sales and no doubt many cigarette ads do increase the sales and consumption of some brands of cigarettes. Anyway, here we are years after the censorship of cigarette ads, and people still smoke and get sick from smoking. Yes, the problem is not as bad as it used to be, but to credit censorship is not necessarily fair because other factors may have achieved the progress.
Why are you asking for that evidence?
You made a claim of fact:
Why do you want me to say that?
Aren't most laws based on public sentiment?
And with that, I've got to wonder why anyone is trying to change Unknown Soldier's mind, because clearly, it ain't happening.
My arguments are just too good for that. Try to argue logically based on the facts, and you'll have the success I do.
Who wants to censor information on suicide? I was censored getting information out on suicide. When that happens, lives are lost.
