In Japan porn is huge. There is a scene in last year's movie "Lost in Translation" where the female American new visitor to Japan is amazed to see men openly reading porn magazines on the subway. What is the murder rate in Japan? Is it hog wild?

Now we ain't Japanese, thank G-d. I'd expect that our response to porn is different than theirs. But this theory that porn eventually results in murder -- it's bunk.

Porn can become murder to the soul -- that is more often the case, and the porn industry is not a long-lived one for those in it. Still, the thesis is here is that porn means murder, and that's not true, and easily shown so.

I dearly want their to be less porn! It is taken TOO lightly in many places. It is a real problem. But it is not murder, and to overreact this way to it will hamper the battle against it.

Are the Japanese reproducing themselves at replacement rates? They're not, so I rest my case.
