Is pornography morally wrong?
@freemo It's the cancer of society
@voidabyss Cancer isnt exactly the same as being morally wrong. But feel free to elaborate why if you want to discuss it.
@freemo Smoking lead to cancer which lead to early death making smoking morally wrong.
Porn lead to sex addiction which lead to diminishing productivity and unhappy relationships making it the cancer of society.

I am going to take this as an axiom and assume its correct for this discussion. Its not, its completely wrong im sure, but to save time lets just assume it is right for the sake of argument.
> Smoking lead to cancer which lead to early death making smoking morally wrong.
Smoking isnt morally wrong, nor is early death. Why would something automatically be morally wrong simply because it results in a earlier death for you, thats your choice, its your life. It may be a bad decision, but that doesnt make it an immoral one.

If you assume that self-harm isn't morally wrong then we agree to disagree.
No im not assuming anything. You are the one claiming self-harm is wrong, I am notasserting it either way. You are the one who is obligated to explain why logically self-harm is immoral.
@freemo Wow, for me, it's self-evident that self-harm is morally wrong, I just mention if we can't agree that simple principle, then we agree to disagree.
@voidabyss We arent agreeing or disagreeing. If it is self-evident then it should be very easy to explain why its morally wrong. I'd be interesting to hear that argument.
@voidabyss To be clear i am not asking you to explain it because i disagree or am saying it is or isnt... I am asking because just because something feels true and obvious, doesnt mean it is. As humans we have instincts that tells us things are right because we had to evolve to think that simply because in the past it was needed for survival.
Humans can get obvious common sense thigns wrong all the time.
So even though it may "feel" obvious to you and me that self-harm is wrong, how can we actually check our own feelings to see if they are right or not?
