The impetus is on you to prove the link, that porn causes rapes.
You have failed to do so, since the evidence shows that as porn became more mainstream, the reporting of rapes plummeted.
To insist that somehow rape would have plummeted more had porn not been around is a curious position. I can't wait to see how you prove it.
Ooh, rape is down 60%. Well, geez, so is smoking. Now what? And who said porn was up? I guess you just assumed that, huh? Is violent porn up, or porn in general?
My post dealt with the assumption (from the author) that porn was tied to rape. My point was that if it were true, then legalizing porn would lead to increased rapes.
Given that, I'd rather arrest the pornographer before the fact than the rapist after the fact.
I'm not interested in getting into a pi$$ing contest on statistics.
