Re: Can't you see? Hmm.
Divorce
Rape
Child molestation and abuse
Lack of long meaningful relationships
Abortions
And an increase of this is all directly attributable to the availability of porn?
I suppose it couldn't possibly have to do with a general decline of moral values in the country related to numerous other issues. The part I find strange is the fact that in the "Bible Belt"--an area in which I live and presumably the most religious region of the U.S. has divorce rates that are among the highest in the country.
Please cite credible resources that link all of the aforementioned social problems to availability of on-line porn. . .
It's one thing to blame the ills of society on something you may personally object to, but sooner or later, someone's going to ask for indisputable proof of your claims.

It's pretty plain and simple if you ask me. Over the years society has simply been diluted because an increasing number of lower income, undereducated couples continue popping out children left and right. It is these couples that tend to get divorced (if married at all) and/or that have no regard for responsible parenting. Unfortunately it is the higher income, educated couples of society, which tend to practice responsible parenting and get married (or at least stay committed to one another), that are losing the procreation battle. Of course this is a very broad statement, and, yes, I realize that there are some lower income, undereducated couples that do stay together and are responsible parents, but lets not kid ourselves of the general trend here.
My question... what the hell ever happened to only the strong survive? That still seems to be the golden rule in the rest of the animal kingdom. Why the hell is it that the "strong" in our society, in general, feel this incessant need to help the "weak"? I mean really, it is only perpetuating the problems of society and in my opinion will eventually lead to the downfall of modern civilization.

How do you explain Hollywood? Those actors and actresses, are in a higher income tax bracket. Plenty of them are married and divorced in a months time or less with the marriage annulled.
How many of these educated couples of society are on their 5th, 6th or more marriage? Responsible parenting? Not when their kids are busted for drug use or attending rehab for the uptheenth time. O-j was really committed wasn't he? How about Robert Blake? Mike Tyson, Kidd Rock? Bush's daughters, the Kennedy tribe? Alex Baldwin?
Lower income, undereducated kids look to the NFL, NBA, MLB players as role models, same goes for rappers and drugged out "rock stars". Naturally the press broadcasts every bad habit of these people, so the kids want to be just like their "heroes".
said by Dryvlyne:My question... what the hell ever happened to only the strong survive? Absolutely nothing. Are you an RIAA cheerleader?
My question... how the does it make a strong man weak by helping a fellow man out in his time of need or weakness, when the weaker man needs a strong helping hand to regain his strength?

Its the Democrats fault. In fact it is the Speaker of House Polosi fault. Everything is the Democrats fault. Everything. Just like Everything was the Republicans Fault when they were in power. |
