Poor is good for a free society you say? I totally ashamed to admit this, but from my own person struggles for years with porn. I've had to take some great measures to flee from the temptations of it. I have the computer in the family room out in the open (has monitoring software that emails my wife weekly, never log on late at night, use my company laptop when working and assure that my wife is with me...the list goes on. I can't even begin to tell you what kind of damage it's done to my relationship with my wife. I've had to work extremely hard to gain some of her trust back. I'm still paying for it, and justifiably so, and will be until the day I die (the images are burned in my brain and can be pulled up at will). It's all been worth it though. The embarrassment, the shame, all of it. Because I'm enjoying what God truly blessed me with in the relationship with my wife. So, no! Porn is NOT good for a free society.

I believe this article to be a correlation to the impact of porn:

Dad who shielded daughter in attack at Valleyfair recovering, wife says
By JIM ADAMS, Star Tribune
July 16, 2008

A woman whose husband was severely beaten trying to protect his daughter from being molested as the family left Valleyfair said Tuesday they remain traumatized and are still healing from bruises and injuries.

Eight young men are accused of taking turns stomping on and kicking the head of the 41-year-old man, who was knocked unconscious as his wife and three daughters tried to help him. Prosecutors say more serious charges could be brought against the men if the man's injuries are permanent.

"He is hanging in there," said his wife, who asked that the family not be identified out of fear for their safety. She didn't recognize their attackers: "I never seen them a day before in my life."

Shakopee police said serious felony assaults are unusual at the amusement park, which normally has a handful of misdemeanor assaults each summer. The park said Tuesday that 22 security guards were on duty the evening of the assault, July 4, when the fair closed at midnight, and that safety is a priority.

Police arrested seven of the suspects in the Valleyfair parking lot that night and the eighth escaped. Police did not have a good description of that suspect but would like help finding him.

Six men and a 14-year-old boy were charged July 8 with third-degree felony assault. More serious charges, and possibly a sex assault charge, may be filed after police finish their investigation, Scott County Attorney Patrick Ciliberto said Tuesday.

"This type of violence cannot be accepted in our community," he said. "We had a family at the fair enjoying the holiday. Behavior like this is personal to our community."

Ciliberto said Valleyfair has had "no assault of this magnitude" since he took office in 2002. He said the father was taken to Ridges Hospital in Burnsville for a fractured eye socket bone and other injuries. His office was told Monday that doctors were waiting for the man's swelling to subside before checking for permanent injuries, which could justify more serious charges.

The couple was nearing the exit gate with their three daughters at about midnight on July 4, when two young men approached and slapped the youngest girl, about 12, on her buttocks. Her father yelled at the men, one of whom pulled out a cell phone and called for others to join in on the assault.

The wife said she and her daughters tried to protect her husband, and are still recovering from being punched. Her husband has been home from the hospital for a week .

She said she couldn't say more for fear of hurting the prosecution's case.

The assault "was an isolated incident. This has not happened before," said Valleyfair spokeswoman Rachel Onken. "We are a very safe park." She said the guards handled the incident as they were trained and no immediate security changes are planned.

Shakopee Police Capt. Jeff Tate said Valleyfair has "a skirmish once in a while. We usually don't see anything escalate like this." He said park security officers do a good job and that this is the only felony assault this year. He said a domestic assault occurred in the Valleyfair parking lot in May and two juveniles were charged in June with disorderly conduct and misdemeanor assault.

One of the suspects, Darris D. Evans, allegedly punched a man in the face as the group left the unconscious father. Evans, 20, of Brooklyn Park, is charged with a misdemeanor assault for that offense, Tate said.

Besides Evans, five other men and an unnamed juvenile were charged with third-degree felony assault. The five are Derry D. Evans, 19, Minneapolis; Devondre Evans-Lewis, 18, of Columbia Heights; Terry L. Arnold, 22, Brooklyn Park; Andrew D. Shannon, 19, of Minneapolis, and Anthony C. Gildersleeve, 20, Edina.

Bail was set at $40,000 to $60,000 each and all the suspects posted bail bonds, a jail official said.

A check of state records show that two of the suspects have prior felony charges. Arnold and Evans-Lewis were arrested in an Eagan prostitution sting and charged in April with promoting prostitution in Dakota County. Arnold pleaded guilty in May. Arnold also was convicted of two misdemeanor assaults in 2005 and 2006.

Gildersleeve was convicted in March 2008 of carrying a pistol without a permit in a public place, a misdemeanor. Derry Evans was convicted of escaping from custody in January 2008. He was also convicted in May 2008 of disorderly conduct, a gross misdemeanor.

You and your god; Porn is fine...and it's not your fault, the same genes that gave you your big, black piece of wood and physical genes also give men of your race higher testosterone levels...average of 19% higher...so sex drive is programmed into you...more so than an average white guy.

First, props to you Colossus for taking responsibility and being brave enough to talk about it. I really admire you.

Second, Deicide, who the heck are you, Adolf Hitler?

Where the heck are you getting this "average of 19% higher" testosterone levels and oversexed conclusion?

Says Rushton, on the basis of many years of research, there exists a clear gradient in many things from yellow to white to black. Asians have somewhat larger brains than whites who have substantially larger brains than blacks. Measured aggressiveness follows the same pattern of a small gap between yellow and white and a larger gap between white and black. The pattern applies for other characteristics: East Asians are lowest in testosterone levels, latest in entering puberty, lowest in size of genitals, degree of criminality, sex drive, rates of fertility, rates of divorce and promiscuity. Blacks are at the other extreme, with whites falling between.

Obama is clueless. No one is being honest about what Universal healthcare would really cost or how incompetent the US Govt. is in administering other programs it runs already. We do need something but it has to be realistic and also has to make people be responsible for their own health to some extent. Simply redistributing wealth won't work. At some point govt incompetence, chronic cases and increased life expectancies will push the costs beyond what raising taxes on the rich can afford. The people who can afford a tax increase the least will end up being screwed... even though they use the most healthcare.

That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!!

Doc, what do you think the "age of consent" should be? Do you agree that it should be a law?

Whatever the age of consent is, the porn industry is going to push the envelope (if not break it altogether). A prime example is the barely-legal stuff that get heavily marketed (i.e using girls who just turned 18). An off-shoot of that is what some call "virtual child pornography" That is, getting 18-year old girls to dress and act like 12-13 year-old girls.

You may recall that on the first season of "American Idol", one of the contestants, Frenchie Davis, got booted for posing nude on a site called "Daddy's Little Girls". The guy who ran the site was under suspicion of running child porn. And Davis was posing as an underage girl, even though she was 20, when she took the photos.
