- [deleted... but in summary, he said that although there is no hard evidence
- linking porn to sexual assault, and although the majority of people can

-
- People who are mentally unhinged and likely to murder/rape whatever may
- well well do it after viewing porn... but may also do it after viewing
- R-rated materials, or sex scenes in M-rated movies, or reading Playboy,
- or Penthouse, or People, or the bible. If we were to ban/restrict
- everything in the society that can cause people who are unstable to
- commit crimes, there would be little left. The loonies will respond to
- ANYthing and EVERYthing, because they ARE unstable.
-
- Just because knives are sharp doesn't mean no one should have them.
- Someone said to me recently,"porn makes good poeple better, and bad
- people worse". I think she was right.
-
- Put simply, I believe it's better to remove the unstable people from the
- society, than to try remove all the items from the society that can
- provoke the unstable people.
