Attacking porn as the cause of rape or deviant sexual behavior is a classic example of the failure to determine causation versus correlation and achieves absolutely nothing in the end. But some people go too far by belittling or misrepresenting the concept of rape itself. Don't make the same illogical mistakes as the anti-porn crusaders. Just because they fudge the conviction numbers and tend to paint all men as potential rapists it doesn't mean rape isn't a huge problem in society.

@icemachine79

Just because rape is a problem, doesn't mean that false accusations of rape are not a problem.

The concept of rape is the concept of sexual theft. Shedding light on rape is difficult because even in cases where it can be proven that a sexual exchange did take place, when the matter of consent is disputed, it is almost impossible to prove one way or the other. Reversing the burden of proof has given women the power to ruin any man's life for any reason at all.

I dont see how they think porn even translates to the bedroom. if i got off watching a chick being DP'd by two black dudes, is that what i want in my bedroom? fuck no that means i wouldnt even be in the equation! what about a bukkake? not on my fuckin sheets! even if you got off to rape porn, it seems to me like it would be the same as enjoying killing people in a video game or loving gory movies... ya know, no connection to real life pleasures.

Why is it that most people who are against porn are people no porn-director would hire in the first place?

Dammit. If I were on the evaluation committee for those weird gels, I would seek to strip them of their doctorates and consign them to community college Sociology 101 classes.

You get my porn when you can prize my dick out of my cold, dead hand!

@elmohead Lol, yeah call the cops on that sicko! :P

[elmohead]

@itscat92 My girlfriend is a paedophile because she likes it when I just shaved my moustache. lol

@FatherTime89 Lesser extent? Palin is just as crazy as Bachmann any day. Miserable cunts with sticks up their asses.

[whhyyyyyyyyyy]

and now Gale to bring the libertairian side of this to the argument where in the constitution does it say i cant watch porn if i want to

[itscat92]

The theory about shaved pubic hair, is by far the worst argument I've heard from these anti-porn people. Does that mean a woman is a pedophile if she likes guys who shave their chest hair??? Body hair in general is just out of fashion!

[itscat92]

Rape has been around since the begining of time (atleast people). If somebody becomes a rapist because of watching porn, then they were already messed up in the first place. Of course sexual abuse in the porn industry is a problem, but making porn illegal is not the solution. That would be just as stupid as prohibition, which if I was paying attention properly in school, was started because too many drunks were beating their wives & kids.

@FatherTime89 but they are not out trying to ban everything,Bachmann and Palin just want to make money.

[FatherTime89]

@mokeimusic You can find wackjob American women. Look at Bachmann and to a lesser extent Palin.
