Hey, everybody, isn't this marauder guy the one whose head was used to wipe the floor in debates or spirituality by bbar or someone else?
Just wondering.
Edit. Even the guy left the public forums for some months, if I record correctly. Sorry if I don't. Maybe it's someone else.

Please stay on topic.

There is some degree of subjectivity in any definition, of course. But when there are rules there is some attempt to define something in a way that is meaningful to the persons who are expected to abide by said rules. I suppose I'm asking for a "reasonable adult" standard.

If you got a threatening PM, perhaps it might be a good idea to "Send Feedback" ? Just a suggestion.

Here's the definition of "obscenity" the US Supreme Court came up with in 1973 (it's still the legal definition):
"(a) whether the 'average person, applying contemporary community standards' would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest,
(b) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual co ...[text shortened]... ban the sale of Playboy as "obscene" the court proceedings would be extremely short.
Originally posted by cheshirecatstevensFair enough. I have a couple of points to start. First of all, it seems difficult to define pornography when there are so many different standards about what it is. So let's first say that not all porn is created equal. Secondly, I would say that porn, whatever you may think about it, involves some level of "image-making." So if I accept this, I could say that a war started to make a country or a president look better fits a definition of pornography in this broad sense.
OK you start with your definition.

What are we to do with "applying contemporary community standards" when it is a "worldwide chess community" that we are talking about?
EDIT: Here's a legal definition of "prurient interest":
PRURIENT INTEREST - A morbid, degrading and unhealthy interest in sex, as distinguished from a mere candid interest in sex.
