assuming this is in reply to me stating that it scares me that he thinks we can educate people to not be self serving occasionally, what argument do you have?

 

how do you propose we force people to serve the needs of their community over their own needs at all times?

not only is this idea silly but i don't even think it'd be desirable, sometimes people should focus more on themselves than others, particularly when they are in a weak position comparatively

 

to give an example that strikes more at home i've seen people on this forum joke often about using pornography, which is a selfish act that leads to the exploitation of women, what are your thoughts on that? should everyone be prevented from using pornography so women are not exploited?

Pornography in and of itself isn't sexist against women I'd say, but the way the industry is run definitely is. And preventing people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem, much like banning drugs and forcing people into jail for possession and use of them hasn't worked.

lol are you being serious right now? pornography isn't sexist?

pornography reduces women down to sexual objects for the consumption of men primarily, there is pretty much no other field i can think of that's more sexist

 

" preventing people from watching porn isn't going to solve the problem"

isn't going to solve which problem?

destroying the pornography industry destroys the exploitation of women perpetuated in that industry

 

i didn't say preventing people from watching pornography, i'm talking about destroying the industry which can easily be done by stopping people from being able to build websites that sell pornography

if people have the medium through which they distribute pornography destroyed then the industry would collapse, you can't compare that to the drug trade since porn relies on websites that are published for public consumption
