Not surprising. :) We agree on most things. It's a pity we are so far away from one another. We could have many lively discussions over coffee, tea, or something more potent. :)
I agree the most American porn should be forbidden: it's disgusting to see those unnatural male and female dolls copulating like rabbits, but French porn for instance is pretty nice as well as Italian. I wander Mormons want to forbid porn but to have many wives is OK for them. What is the reason? It is a pure pietism.
Hypocrisy - this is also a foundation of religion, but one they choose to ignore. :) Can't comment about French and Italian porn, never watched it. In what way is it better? The story lines are more developed, more artistic cinematography...?
It looks more tender. Actors look humans not a silicon doll. Action is like something what usually people make not a kind of robotic motion. Recommend. Have a look at some 70s French movies.
These issues essentially come down to just one - are the concepts of good vs bad, right vs wrong relative or absolute. For those who chose to think they are relative porn can be good, religion can be bad. And vice versa. The relativity of values is certainly a predominant view in the West nowadays, so you're just going along with the flow...
Well, they are relative of course. :) Even something like "killing is wrong," can never be absolute. There are certain circumstances in which killing my be justified, most notably self-defense or euthanasia. And rarely in my life have I ever gone "with the flow" when it comes to ideologies. I'm usually swimming against it.
Well I'd say, they are absolute, of course :) The criteria however is the intention of the action, not the actual action. In your example both cases are not justified, as they are based on selfish reasons. Killing could be justified only if the reason for it is selfless (e.g. defending your family or country). But it's all been explained in much detail over the last couple of thousand years. I guess you never took the time to look into it.
"In your example both cases are not justified, as they are based on selfish reasons." Excuse me, but it's "selfish" to want to live? :)) In the case of self-defense against a violent or armed assailant, killing him or her may be the only means of survival. I don't think self-preservation is selfish.
You express yourself brilliantly! :) About your friend in L.A. who described the current dating scene as "most men are just looking for one night stands" - it is 100% true. And there are plenty of females who give it to them, at least here in the USA. :) So, perhaps, you begin to understand why I'm single for so long? I don't understand anything about the modern dating world. Soon, I'm going to write a post about this, celibacy and how sex is just a recreational sport now for most people, void of emotion. It's meaningless and not valued because it has become so accessible- you just need to flip through your mobile screen looking at Tinder, or some other online dating app, to find the next person to use and discard after your moment of selfish pleasure ends. This is a generation seeking instant gratification, and nothing worthwhile comes instantly. It takes time, effort and compromise to get to know someone past the physical shell. So, now you know my basic, and very pessimistic views, about modern dating rituals. :)) Yet, as a true

Not in this case, as we can see :)
