Comparing pornography to heroin, researchers on Thursday called on Congress to finance studies on "porn addiction" and launch a public health campaign about the dangers.

"We're so afraid to talk about sex in our society that we really give carte blanche to the people who are producing this kind of material," said James B. Weaver, a Virginia Tech professor who studies the impact of pornography.

Internet pornography is corrupting children and hooking adults into an addiction that threatens their jobs and families, a panel of anti-porn advocates told the hearing organized by Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., chairman of the Commerce subcommittee on science.

Brownback, a father of five, said when he was a boy, the typical kid's exposure was limited to occasional peeks at dirty magazines illicitly obtained by a buddy.

You sorry tirades are getting more boring and predictable all the time.

Unlike your cliche ridden insults, huh, Mr Anonymous Superiority?

That post was a joke. I got multiple emails from people who obviously don't recognize sarcasm when they see it.

At that point, Brownback's duty was to have the sergeant-at-arms hustle her out for attempting to pilfer the taxpayers' money.

The Capitol Hill parasites are paying back their $20 churchgoing true believer donors by holding inconsequential "hearings", posturing, riding their High Horses, just like their STUPID party sanctimonious supporters right here.

And all while the defense of Western Civilization against the barbarian hordes crumbles into neglect....

I have to admit, I'm surprised at the dismissive replies I've seen.
