Government liberaltarians approves of this kind of crap and then acts surprised when it happens.

Here's a sampling of some of the most recently available statistics on marriage and divorce in the United States of America:
The divorce rate in 2005 (per 1,000 people) was 3.6 -- the lowest rate since 1970, and down from 4.2 in 2000 and from 4.7 in 1990. (The peak was at 5.3 in 1981, according to the Associated Press.)
In 2004, the state with the highest reported divorce rate was Nevada, at 6.4 (per 1,000). Arkansas was a close second, with a divorce rate of 6.3, followed by Wyoming at 5.3. The District of Columbia had the lowest reported divorce rate, at 1.7, followed by Massachusetts at 2.2 and Pennsylvania at 2.5.

Must not be watching much porn in DC and Mass.
Do all men have it in them to become sexual deviants? Just add a sprinkling of porno, and in no time, you’re going to get yourself a pederast and/or a murderer?
No, it isn’t instantaneous, it is a progressing process. The inaccuracy that the media gives you is that, like returning vets, otherwise insignificant crimes, and so forth, the media sensationalizes, and brings out the absolute worst cases of the bunch.
Again, how far things take you varies from person to person, some people like me actually had it in them to frankly snap out of it, when I realized the kind of depraved behaviors that I would ultimately end up entertaining myself with should I keep going on the path.
I would estimate most people end up like me, figuring that there’s something wrong with what you are doing, you’re wasting too much time entertaining yourself with something that isn’t real, and the same sources that you entertain yourself with regarding man-woman sex also portray sodomy and other distorted junk as well.
I wonder how many people in Mass or D.C. cohabitate rather than marry? The whole porn deal also has its most extreme issue in a few cases where a guy dumps his wife for a girl, that’s not to say that I don’t doubt the statistics, but it’s flexible and open to interpretation in a number of ways. Again, statistics are “plastic” i.e. people can still come up with a variety of conclusions and question the source.
As far as the article goes, it is talking about the damage to 12- to 17-year-olds. This is a very vulnerable time in brain development, when the body is naturally starting to produce the chemicals for sexual maturity. Studies have shown that males, particularly, are more likely than females to become sharply aroused by visual stimuli, and around age 12 are quite vulnerable to “imprinting”, where a particular image or type of image stimulates the brain powerfully.
It is criminal for perverted and profiteering “sexual progressives” to warp children’s minds with debased images of cruel and unusual practices during their sexual development period — worse than the crippling foot-binding among the ancient Chinese.
Many parents do not know how to monitor the children’s activities, set up controls and/or check the search history. In our house, the television and computer were in the family room only, and a parent was always nearby or in the room when they were in use.
We also counseled our youngsters frankly about the possible damage to future relationships from this material and sexual relations without commitment or maturity; and we made phone calls to other parents whose children were trying to involve ours in watching this stuff. You would be amazed at the denials and excuses we heard.
HG always takes the libertarian party side. None so blind as those who do not wish to see.
Agreed. But when we discuss these things on Free Republic, invariably the argument becomes about adult consumption of pornography, and it's then you see the Nanny State element of the conservative mindset come to the forefront.
Good on you for keeping such a strong hand over these things for your children.
Untrue. Ideologically I believe in the primacy of individual freedom, and whenever there's a conflict between societal need and individual freedom, I typically come down on the side of freedom except for when the state can make a compelling case otherwise, and then, and only then, if the powers the state uses to encroach on individual freedom for societal good are strictly limited and completely finite. Perhaps more often than not that process makes me align with libertarian interests, but I am happy to depart from libertarianism when I think doctrinaire libertarian thought is illogical, unreasonable, or just plain anti-American. Take foreign relations, for example: I am first and foremost an American who believes wholeheartedly in American exceptionalism, and unlike other, more doctrinaire libertarians, I believe America should carry a very big and very powerful stick and not be afraid to use it when necessary.
I also have a strong belief in God and believe he expresses his will very nicely through natural law. I believe in the fallibility of human beings, including myself, and I am not so rigid in my beliefs that I cannot listen to opposing viewpoints and learn from them. I'm not afraid of intellectual growth. I also believe very deeply in the basic equality of all human beings, which is why you won't find a racist, anti-Semitic, or anti-gay bone in my body (poor choice of words on that last one). At the same time, I believe that evil most definitely exists in this world, and it's God's way of showing us the chasm that exists between human beings and Him, and it's up to those of us who want to do good to eradicate evil so that humanity, in general, can move closer to God.
In fact, I'd say that's the one true goal most people should have in life: live life so that you can close the distance between yourself and God. Move the ball forward as much as you can, so you can pass the ball off to your progeny in the red zone, not behind the 50.
If that makes me a Loserdopian (TM, Free Republic) or a Liberaltarian (also TM, Free Republic), so be it. But my primary "beef" with the "conservative" set here on Free Republic is that they are perfectly okay with using the same coercive powers of government that liberals would use on us to enforce socialism, or "equality of results," in order to try to re-create some unobtainable Utopia where there were no gay people, no booze, no weed or other recreational drugs, no porno, no divorce, no music other than country & western, and everyone went to Protestant church on Sundays.
The End.
Too many women don't even know what they want and are constantly unhappy under any circumstances.
Sure. It's all the woman's fault.
Don't they know that men are perfect?
Sheesh......
Imho, those that have problems establishing and maintaining relationships with the opposite sex often have difficulty seeing them as human beings. Men who spend time with pornography instead of women tend to be detached from them, emotionally and mentally.
Nobody is perfect and part of human nature is to never be truly satisfied with one’s current reality. A big part of that is the differences in human sexuality and genetic diversification that will never be truly resolved.
A male’s sexual nature is to attract an endless quantity of genetically diverse, desirable, adoring females all for himself and keep them all satisfied just by being himself. This was selected for because the more females a male impregnates, the more likely his genes will succeed far into the future.
A female’s sexual nature is to bond with that one impossibly perfect, strong, leading male all for herself. This was selected because a female can only be impregnated by one male. By selecting the best male and getting all of his attention, her genes are more likely to succeed.
Also, females encourage genetic diversity in a different manner from males. They are subconsciously attracted to males that are most different from the males in their own family or clan. Since females are vulnerable while pregnant or carrying babies, they evolved to use their sexual power to “tame” such males to protect and provide. This is where “opposites attract” and “nice girls love bad boys” comes from. These traits were selected for because in prehistory, females that bred with males that were most similar to themselves were most likely breeding with a brother or cousin. In those days, if you walked a few miles, the culture of humans living there was completely different from your own. The females that were successful in breeding and “taming” men from other clans were more genetically diverse and had more successful descendants. A lineage with little diversity is very susceptible to disease and defects.
As you see, marriage was essentially a treaty that balanced the impossible and almost opposite desires of both sexes. It allowed people to be mostly satisfied instead of constantly fighting, lying and seeking the impossible.
The treaty became unbalanced when society enabled women to provide everything for themselves and their children without having to consider any man's needs (”...like a fish needs a bicycle”). The treaty became further unbalanced with nearly foolproof birth control and the detachment of reproduction from sexuality. The treaty was burned when no-fault divorce allowed women to take a man's resources and children at a whim.
You now see men who will never trust a woman and never go beyond casual sex. Why commit and put everything on the line for one woman with no incentive to please you? They would rather sleep with an endless variety of skanks/prostitutes and talk with their single friends for human interaction. You now see women who think they don't need men. And on the surface, they are right. They can get rich on their own or fool a rich man into giving them a lifetime paycheck. Then they can get all the smooth-talking boytoys, beach vacations with friends and designer IVF babies they want. Go to any resort and check out the groups of divorced “cougars” going after college guys.
However, we are more than just physical objects or animals. I really feel there was something special and spiritual within the treaty that is marriage. Now it is gone and nomatter how successful we are materially or physically, we will always be fighting each other and truly “alone”...
