I'm still curious as to the actual problem. They have been very vague about the whole thing.
No, people with no self control + porn CAN(not will) lead to becoming a child predator. People with self control + porn is less likely to lead to becoming a child predator. People with self control and no porn are even less likely to become a child predator. You don't need a study to know this is true, just use your brain.
What they neglected to mention is that in random population samples of ALL SINGLE MEN, the numbers are exactly the same.
I don't follow...the numbers are the same as what?
the conclusion? Porn viewers are equally as likely as non-porn viewers to be rapists.
That statement can't be backed up using common sense OR a study. Granted anybody CAN be a rapist even if they never set eyes on porn, but don't try to sell the fact that porn doesn't contribute to their lust.
Shocked?
No
Didn't think so. You're shaking your head saying "it can't be true because I don't like what that means".
No, I'm shaking my head saying, "it can't be true" because what you say doesn't follow logic.
Whoop, see, you've already dismissed what I said without investigating it. hah!
Yep, show me something that proves me wrong and I'll go investigate it further.
Given the size of the Internet, I find that rather sad. Too many people's lives are damaged/ruined by porn for even 1% to be acceptable. It would be better for society if that number were 0, we'd have a lot less child predators and rapists on the streets. I'm not saying that people shouldn't have the right to debase themselves...I just think it is sad that it is made so easy by the internet.
Has there ever been a game movie that has done well in the theaters? I sure cannot think of one. It seems like a lesson should have been learned by now...
The gaming industry has lost it's imagination. Innovation is gone, instead companies are trying things like making crappy games for simultaneous releases with movies, or perhaps banking on previous successes...Doom 4 anybody??? No takers?? really??
Seriously. How many billions of dollars are spent on these things each year? And for what? To keep the space station running? For what? IMHO I think those billions of dollars could be much better spent elsewhere.
