Years ago, I read that vice cops who been out on the streets a long time will you that anytime they bust a sex offender, they will find reams of porn in his house and that the crimes he committed were inspired by his porn collection.
I'll bet if they looked a little deeper, they'd also find that the sex offenders also ate an awful lot of junk food. And I'll bet that if you checked out Skilling's and Lay's homes, they both had LOTS of expensive stuff. I guess having all that expensive stuff caused them to commit all that fraud, huh?
Let's say it all together... Corellation is not the same as Causation! In fact, you could turn it around... I'll bet Skilling and Lay didn't have as much expensive stuff UNTIL they began their fraud. I wonder if it was the "sickness" within the sexual offenders that drive them to porn, and that not being satisfying enough, they moved on to "real people." After all, if there wasn't any porn 100 years ago, there must not have been any people doing the same things as todays "sexual offenders," right?

Yes. One reason I take the position I do concerning pornography is partially due to what I have heard from friends of mine who either are policemen - or who assist in child abuse investigations.
For what it's worth - I also think it should be illegal to sell products like Grand Theft Auto to children and teens.
