Oh come off it; you make your own choices.
.....

Really these are your own choices and the consequences are for you; I make my choices and I'm pretty happy with life but I wouldn't pretend that my choices are right for you.

You & I are of above average intelligence and education (despite my DM addiction) there are a whole raft of people who are being sold to and don't realise. I also when younger lusted after things advertised and a lifestyle I couldn't maintain. It is insidious and sad.

Free will is necessary and censorship of adverts is frequently bad but there is a line between the two and IMHO its in the wrong place.

You & I are of above average intelligence...

Well Mich certainly is.

I'm not sure what your argument is. It's hardly controversial to posit that the majority of American/Western people are unhappy with their appearance

Why are they uncomfortable with their appearance? is it because of images of beautiful people in mags or is perhaps because they stuff their faces with fatty crappy food and sit on their arses in front of the telly doing nothing?

I think I'll stick to what I know.

I think my parents might have had to learn a few things quickly when I asked about the pictures.

Free will has an important companion called self discipline. How are people to learn self discipline if the moral decisions are taken from them?

And look how you've turned out!

And look how you've turned out!

Indeed. But I'm a well adjusted pervert with a happy monogamous relationship.

Indeed. But I'm a well adjusted pervert with a happy monogamous relationship and a new subscription to Necrophile Today.

Well Mich certainly is.
