Republicans are calling porn a 'public health crisis,' but is it really?

    With all the serious issues facing our nation, these republicans come up with this meaningless crap?
    Globally, porn is a $97 billion industry, between $10 billion and $12 billion of that comes from the United States. Revenue from traditional porn films has been shrinking, though, because of piracy and an abundance of free content on the Internet.

    Republicans have nothing better to base a platform on. It's why they have the TP candidates. I guess one is going to need a lot of TP for all the bullsh*t Trump excretes.

    Aside from that, I doubt any Republican has had the pleasure of sex, or even masturbation, or any sense of sexual pleasure whatsoever. That's probably why they're objecting to the porn industry. If sexual pleasure isn't good for them, and their Jesus Freaks, its not good for anyone.

    Well, when they look at their fat wives at night, they want to think twice about that.

    So... which Republicans? I saw like three names.

    That's like me arguing democrats hate blacks because they had a KKK member elected into congress, or democrats love guns because they had an elected official running them on the side.

    I don't see any evidence that this is action of the entire "Republican Party," and don't see the individual legislators involved either. Who are they?

    Get prepared for more of this leading up to the election, as CNN and the other propaganda outlets of the Democratic Party try to sway more young male, and male voters generally. There will probably be "Republicans seek to regulate video games" type headlines coming soon enough. This story is very obviously not designed to communicate "news."

    What's funny is that the number one state in the country for internet porn traffic is Utah.

    There's nothing wrong with porn. It's not a health crisis.

    Porn is for everyone. Free and paid.

    Whatever the above means, I don't see anything in it 1. Identifying which Republicans are complaining about porn, or 2. addressing my post in any meaningful way. Why am I not surprised from the poster who makes threads like "Trump Blames Obama for Nice?" You have less than 0 credibility here on this forum.

    Republicans may not have 20 sex partners before they're 16, or have anonymous gay sex on a weekly basis, but they do have sex.

    On the Right you have the folks that want to legislate "morality".
    On the Left you have the folks that want to legislate "social justice".

    Two sides of the same bad penny. All we need is a Federal government working within its constitutional restraints; free will, free choice and free markets and our Freedom and Liberties are preserved.

    But to have one guy who wants to take my freedom away, pointing in anger at another guy that wants to take my freedoms away, just makes me want to put a mirror in front of both of you and then sit back and wonder how long its going to take both of you to wise up.

    Who cares if they're calling it a "public health crisis"?..... How dare they have a position right?

    You know I could care less what people do but at the same time I can run down a ton of negatives about porn.

    It's not like they're trying to ban porn - you know like the democrats in the 70's attempted.

    I wounder how many of them have porn on their devices? Because I have a four year degree in Info Sec I am tech support for my friends and family and you may be suprised by what you will find on a good Christians PC. I was not looking to find porn but came across it while fixing the filing system or doing scans.

    Kind of reminds me of prohibition when some of those who voted for prohibition were frequenting speakeasies where they imbibed the very substance they made illegal.

    I would venture to say the older non-tech generation probably does. Creepy pervs. Probably paid less than $20 for porn in my life and that was over 8 years ago.

    Of course they hate porn. It's an industry based on something they have been against for decades, freedom of choice. And that's not a reference to abortion, its a reference to actual freedom of choice. The republicans absolutely hate the idea of people being able to do what they want with their lives.
