I like porn.

[evets]

Damn. I read the whole article, and didn't see any graphic descriptions.

Where's the graphic material?

“The purveyors of pornography repeatedly challenge us to prove that pornography causes violent crime,” said Rep. Harris. “I challenge them to prove that it does not.”

Have the makers of chocolate milk PROVEN that it doesn't cause violent crime?

What Average Joes can do is not buy and look at the stuff. But...

Encourage your local and national representatives to make laws to protect Americans from obscenity.

Uh oh.

[Strategerist]

In cities where prosecutors have gone after pornographic shops and other sexually oriented businesses, all types of crimes have dropped.

Crime has generally dropped all over the country, and I suspect "all types of crimes" dropped even in places where prosecutors didn't go after porno shops.

The local porn shop is going to wither and die anyway long term; everything is the internet.

Depends on what kind of porn your looking at. If you just like boobies then I don't see any "next step". Alot of guys have looked at Playboy all their lives and never raped or groped any woman. They just like to look at naked boobies very once and while.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Nothing new under ths sun.

James 1:14-15 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

As the article says, a fleeting though gives way to fantacizing which in turn gives way to pornography which gives way to obsessing which leads to rape and child molesting. If the fear of the law doesn't stop them, then the law must be much harsher. I'll volunteer for the firing squad and provide my own gun and ammo.

Oh, Katherine, I thought you were smarter than this.

And the Ted Bundy stuff was debunked long ago.

What the ‘Average Joe’ Can Do About Porn…

He can rent it. Buy it. Download it. Make it. Sell it.

Others can add their observations as well.

[hopespringseternal]

It probably starts a long way before porn.

[Modernman]

“The purveyors of pornography repeatedly challenge us to prove that pornography causes violent crime,” said Rep. Harris. “I challenge them to prove that it does not.”

Pornography does not cause violent crime any more than guns kill people.

Some people use porn as an excuse for their crimes the same way some people blame their crimes on alcohol.

“I’ve never met a police officer yet who investigated a pedophile that did not find pornography. Every one of them said pornography is always on the scene.”

I've found tons of hardcore porn at meth labs. OTH those maggots have been known to sexually abuse their children in some cases.

[Monterrosa-24]

The porno industry tends to support the Left and make war on the Right. There are some exceptions but Larry Flint and his ilk like to wrap themselves in the American flag only so they can claim the 1st amendment.

Lots of the big wigs in the industry dish out multiple genres like lezbo, homo, regular hardcore, etc. Then others pick up some specialty areas ("see the cute blond and the dog"). Nowadays the only thing that gets prosecuted regularly is child pornography. Those prosecution efforts need to be kept up and the next bit of strategy to follow should be fines for legit media like PBS that violate what should be shown on regular free TV.

[AntiGuv]

I've known what to do about porn since I was about 12, but thanks anyway!

[Dilbert56]

Many things are addicting. I happen to be able to have one, two or three beers and then stop. Some people can't.

I think a distinction should be made between pornography and child pornography. When the officer said every pedophile had porn I wonder if it was child pornography. That's different, and sick.

[Outlaw76]

"Where should we start? Maybe with this statement from Phil Burress, president of Citizens for Community Values in Cincinnati, Ohio: “I’ve never met a police officer yet who investigated a pedophile that did not find pornography. Every one of them said pornography is always on the scene.”"

I've never meat a police officer yet who investigated a homicide that did not find air on the scene.

Silly generalizations make the rest of the argument unworthy of my time.
