Trafficking Prostitution-America Hijacked by Porn

Doh!
For some reason when I read CBN, and even when I typed it, my brain was saying CBC. :rolleyes:

But in any case, I'm sure there was a symposium talking about all that and even if it wasn't put on by CBN or some other religious group, it's certainly up their alley (no pun intended).

It happens, don't worry about it.
 
I don't think so, but only because when I say "God" I mean all of them. The holy wars in the middle east have been going on since...well forever.

Sometimes it's about resources.

Sometimes it's just a fuckin' lunatic that managed to put an army together....

It's almost always about resources. If you think it's about something else you should probably take a step back and check again. The Crusades are supposedly about Islam vs Christianity. . .except if you look at where the Silk Road is.

Sure the idiot ground troops might have believed this shit was about religion but the leaders were seeing $$.

Muslims don't hate us because we're Christian. They don't hate us because of our freedoms. While it doesn't help they don't even really hate us because we keep meddling their affairs. They are a bunch of poor mother fuckers who don't have enough shit. And when Europe didn't have enough shit those fuckers turned on each other in an almost predictable twenty five to forty year cycle without end.

On the subject of Muslims you can actually see the difference pretty clearly between European (especially French) Muslims and Muslims in the US. Here we pretty much integrate them, it's not perfect no, but they aren't heavily discriminated against. Result? Attacks are few and far between, hell our radicals lately have been self deporting to kill other Muslims. That's how cool they are with us over all. France. . .well not so great.

I'm sure there ARE people who have been killed over religion. Just like I'm sure that somewhere a some Crip killed a Blood because of colors and not because you can't have other guys hustling your street corner. But lets be honest, the root problem here was "I'm selling drugs here homie" not "Man when I see red I just wanna see a nigga bleed."

The fact that the 1% have to feed the idiot peasants a line that goes a little deeper than 'go kick ass in the name of my check book' doesn't actually alter the causes.
 
So your position is that CBN made up the symposium and what was said there?

Well, there's this:

Experts at the symposium, titled "Pornography: a Public Health Crisis," revealed an America where the vast majority of men consume porn, making for an ever more violent culture connected to prostitution and sex trafficking.

Any causal linkage there is probably bullshit.

I agree with you.....

But in the real world if the fear of and faith in Allah weren't something to rally behind for a fight there would be no middle eastern conflict....we could do battle though bidnizz like civilized beings and make some money.

But NOOOOOOOOO the Allah worshiping savages sayz fuck that kill infidels!!! Because religion........like it or not religion has historically played a pivotal role in making most wars happen on some level and a pretty decent chunk of them in the past few hundred years. If you were to classify political ideology as a religion, and I've read some compelling arguments on both sides of that POV, it would pretty much mop up the rest of the field.

Gotta fight for gawd n' kuntry suuuuuun *spits* ya hear meh boy?!?!?!? Gawdn n' cuntry!!

Anything less than that invites questions of "why exactly are we doing this?" and that is not good. That might even be com-yew-nizim *spits*
 
I disagree. Blacks manage to kill each other just fine over the colors you wear, Europeans largely over the language you speak, same with much of Asia. Shit have you ever fucked up and called a Cuban a Mexican or vice versa? Thems fightin' words.

I gaurantee you if religion were completely destroyed tomorrow with no trace left behind the Trekkies would declare war on the Jedi who would ally with the PC Master Race against the lowly Console users. Joe Montana, hallowed by thy name, would lead all the Football clubs to destroy those David Beckham fuckers who don't understand that football is played with your hands.

It would take us at most five years to figure out our new team alliances and get back to the same problems.

The Middle East is fucked up largely because of European interference. And lack of resources. Sure the religion isn't helping but it's a symptom, not the root cause.

Sometimes, yes . . . but sometimes, I think, religion is just a pretext for a conflict with more temporal, material motives.
 
Like I said, I think the number of wars that are ACTUALLY because of religion or even killings are minimum.

Lets look at America today.

I promise you if American unemployment was at or near 0% (like it was say during the World Wars when we invited Mexicans in) and companies were literally fighting for employees. I mean straight up you walk into Wal-Mart for your job and there's a guy from Target in the parking lot "hey man, I'll pay you $30 an hour if you quit right now and come with me." style that we'd be like

Mexicans? Where? I don't see them anywhere. The race is an easy way to single out a group but the issue is a huge chunk of Americans don't have the amount of money they feel they rate.
 
I disagree.

I think we are talking about two different things....

You are on about ACTUAL causes of war....poverty, ignorance, fear mongering on the part of some asshole (this is where religion LOVES to make it's grand appearance), disease, racism etc.

I'm talking about what the war mongers use to rally the troops and make the war happen for like ever.....Gaaaawd!!

And they need it because most folks aren't willing to go get their war on because some rich guy hundreds or thousands of miles away either gets butt hurt, greedy and or is grossly incompetent.

Sometimes, yes . . . but sometimes, I think, religion is just a pretext for a conflict with more temporal, material motives.

Absolutely....as Sean pointed out they always have been. But you can't get joe to leave his wife n' kids to go kick someones ass and possibly get whacked in the process until you put that fear into him. Gawd n' cuntry son.....gawd n' cuntry!!

We do it to our own troops...."Fighting for freedom in America folks!!" what a load of shit....the current US service members and those for quite some time now fought for nothing but a bunch of defense contracts. So Taco Bell could take a stab at a new market....pizza hut....subway....McD's.....Wal Mart...Harley fuckin' Davidson.

Had there been a legit military concern or human rights crusade or just a good fight there are dozens of better punching bags the US could have gone after.

Okay, yeah, I can grant you that that's the story they sell the grunts. And even that the grunts buy it.

I stand by my statement though that if religion went away the rich would convince us that if Star Wars: The Force Awakens is released Lenard Nemoy will explode destroying all Star Trek Universes.

Oh I agree.....they would just be the new religions used to get the lemmings to run off the cliff.

Juju at the bottom of the sea....fuckin' aliens...anything that's bigger than them.
 
Yep.

Which I see where you're coming from, just to me that means that "God" isn't really the root cause of that.

Not in the same way that religion does seem to be the root cause of this hatred of porn.
