True. Women are the most dangerous addiction known to men. We just can't help not staying away from them like we should. Once you've seen someone of the fair sex, you are scarred for life.
I said I would stop when I needed glasses . Well I had Lasik surgery yesterday!!!
Sugar, caffeine, and chocolate may be addictive to some people, but those addictions don't lead to sex crimes and murder. Go to a search engine and type in 'porn addiction", and you'll discover just how addictive it is. Here's just one of many sites:

Do a little more research and discover for yourself that almost every serial killer was a porn addict actualizing his porn induced fantasies.
Porn as "freedom of speech" is a corruption of the term. There is liberty and then there is 'license'. Porn is the latter, not the former.

Senator Brownback get on with reforming the tax code and stay out this garbage.
You mean like Jimmy Swaggart and the hookers? Its always a classic when the types warn of hellfire and brimstone along with the threat of eternal damnation and then get caught hanging out in the seedier parts of town.
The key word here is not "opiods," which is intended to scare the feeble-minded. Rather, one should focus on "endogenous." In other words, produced internally. You know, like endorphins? Because that is what we're talking about here.
Basically, this pseudo-science mumbo-jumbo is saying that to some people, looking at porn makes them feel good.
And it took a government panel to find that out.
Well, don't have to worry about a ban because it's basically hopeless on the internet. You'd have to cut the US off the internet internationally which is a non-starter.
I think it's true that if you view porn, you are essentially storing that image in your head for the rest of your life. The same applies to any item you view, be it pornography or breakfast toast. It is a question of cognitive recognition as to when you present that data to other parts of your brain and starting "thinking".
Smaller government, less rules. This is nanny state alert.
Too much junk in the trunk to be Ann. (Though Bob Beckell may have been picturing her wearing something similar and weilding a cat-o-nine-tails the other day on Hannity!!)
Heck, if women are so BAD, why did God invent them? No more Ann Coulter pics on FR. :(
Yup.
They realized Ashcroft is leaving and he won't be there and focussing on their obsession over other people's thongs and tear away bras any longer...
This is there way of 'taking action'.
He says he want a "strict constuctionist" interpretation of the Constitution, too. Do you think any of these people are talking about getting a constitutional amendment to ban pornography?
" I always foresaw that difficulties might be started in relation to that power which could not be fully explained without recurring to views of it, which, however just, might give birth to specious though unsound objections. Being in the same terms with the power over foreign commerce, the same extent, if taken literally, would belong to it. Yet it is very certain that it grew out of the abuse of the power by the importing States in taxing the non-importing, and was intended as a negative and preventive provision against injustice among the States themselves, rather than as a power to be used for the positive purposes of the General Government, in which alone, however, the remedial power could be lodged.

If pornagraphy = perversion, then the majority of the world's population are perverts. Pornography is prevalent in all cultures, throughout history and across economic or social lines.
Exploitation is another matter. Rape, violence, child abuse and non-consensual acts have no place in society and should not be peddled.
Consenting adults however should have the right to view material produced by other consenting adults. There should be a strict line on how this is available and kept out of children's hands and minds.
Attitudes that differ from this are what causes people to associate the red states with that 'old time religion'. Which I for one think is a very small part of the conservative block in this country. The liberals would love to paint us all as Bible thumping moralists. The fundamental core of our freedom is keeping the government out of our lives. This should be kept in mind at all times. In addition, I believe that what you do in your life is between you and your maker. I don't need the government confiscating my Playboys thank you and I don't think I am going to burn in hell for checking out a Penthouse occasionaly.
Umm, that's not her trunk....
Unless Ann is an MG
The possibilities are endless.
My mind has now left the gutter and is washing along somewhere in a trunked storm drain, headed for sea.
It ain't BS.
Take it from Ted Bundy himself:
