Your right. There is strong evidence that porn is harmful.

I think you misinterpreted what I wrote. I said there was a strong negative correlation between the availability of porn, and rape and murder.

These crimes have plunged since Ted Bundy's day. You need to explain how porn causes violent crime when its increasing availability is associated with a decrease in rape and murder.

I’m not talking legal porn, but illegal. The violent...kind. To be honest, I don’t know what all is in the illegal porn, and I don’t want to know. We all know that porn is a b$g business. I can’t help wonder who controls these numbers and why after 1990’s they suddenly change. I found this on FR

thttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2658135/postshread :

Dobson was one of the 11 liberal and conservative members of the U.S. Attorney General’s 1986 Commission on Pornography. They couldn’t agree on anything, said Dobson, except when it came to the link of violence in pornography and violence against women and children. The vote was 11 to 0; everyone saw it.

Bundy said, “I’ve lived in prison for a long time now, and I’ve known a lot of men motivated to commit violence just like me, and without exception, everyone of them was deeply involved in pornography.”

The FBI’s own study on serial homicides shows that the most common interest among serial killers is pornography. Of the 36 convicted serial murderers who had killed multiple numbers of people, 29 of them, or 81 percent, listed pornography as their predominant interest, to the level of compulsion.

uh speaking as an engineer. you would be wise to remember that their are “lies, damn lies and then there are statistics.”

it would be incredibly hard to create an unflawed statistical correlation of the phenomena you are conflating.
