Internet Porn Worse than Crack says Senate Subcomittee

[Taverner]

"Internet pornography is the new crack cocaine, leading to addiction, misogyny, pedophilia, boob jobs and erectile dysfunction, according to clinicians and researchers testifying before a Senate committee Thursday.

Witnesses before the Senate Commerce Committee's Science, Technology and Space Subcommittee spared no superlative in their description of the negative effects of pornography. "

1. "Republican Senate Subcomittees Worse Than Internet Porn, says Tasteblind"

eom

[Placebo]

14. I endorse that finding!

:smoke:

[arwalden]

2. Funny! It Doesn't Cause Erectile Dysfunction For ME!!! :-D

[mattclearing]

4. Oh Nooo!!! LOL!

Walked right into that one, didn't they?

[bobbobbins]

8. yeah, it actually cures erectile dysfunction in my case. I dunno about you

[Calvinist Basset]

3. Misogyny and objectification, I can buy.

But erectile dysfunction and pedophilia? Sounds like Cracker Jack science to me . . .

[Bombero1956]

6. well

I happen to think the senate is worse than porn and crack put together. So there!!

[4morewars]

5. Porn's not the real issue....

This is the first step in taking the internet away from us. This is how these fascists operate. Just look at the last 4 years, you can see it. Of course crack is worse than some bare titties. But they can ramp up the rhetoric until we beg them to put an end to the internet. "Oh, please save us from the naked people mr president"

[Cobalt Violet]

15. Your right.

The internet is what they want to ban.

[4morewars]

17. I know it

They hate that we use the internet to resist them. They can't stand when their murderous, lying ways are revealed. And they know that they can use their brainless fundies twisted hatred of sex to kill the internet.

[Cobalt Violet]

22. Porn and terrorism.

Those will be the reasons the internet must be banned or controled so strickly it will no longer be a useful way to resist them.

[4morewars]

23. Damn ! How did I forget about terror ?!?!

Especially with the asshole ex-CIA director Tenet flappin on about that topic all this week ! (terrorist attack of the net)

There you have it, the beginning of the end of the internet as we know it. Which of our Democrat "leaders" do you think will be the first to endorse ? Maybe one of our guys will write the bill ? Lieberman ? That's right up his alley ! He's "strong on defense" AND, he's a holy roller !
They can fast-track it through on a friday night !

[billyskank]

29. Controlled, but not banned

Too many companies are making money from it, so it won't be banned. But they will want it tightly controlled. Think something like AOL here.

[Cobalt Violet]

30. You mean they will still let us download Britney Spears songs...

As long as we pay for them?

/sarcasm

[hfojvt]

25. they hate us for our freedom n/t

[Skip Intro]

7. Someone should start a site showing them fucking each other

Free Speech.

[buddysmellgood]

9. I think these Republicans are trying to say that they are making more

money off porn than they are off selling crack.

[laheina]

13. No CIA middle men ;) nt

[Endangered Specie]

10. In that case, start handing out the Crack!

that make a VERY popular Porn Adicts Rehab Program.

[lpbk2713]

11. They're pandering to the fundies.

They took note of how Shit-for-Brains won the election with their help. I would like to see what magazines and videos they all have in their "private" collections.

[drhilarius]

12. They'll get my porn when they pry it from my cold, dead, hairy hands. n/t

[Radical Activist]

16. it leads to boob jobs?

porn for everyone!

[norml]

18. "Boob Jobs" must be slang for their jobs in the Senate.

Funny, somehow internet porn never makes my "erectile dysfunction". These "clinicians and researchers" must be from The Family Research Council.

[Enraged_Ape]

19. Murdoch and Time Warner make a MINT from hardcore porn

It's by far the #1 pay-per-view entertainment choice coast-to-coast. You think guys on business trips pay nine bucks to watch "Jersey Girl"?

This is all a dog-and-pony show for the right. Pornography is about the last manufacturing industry left in America, and it rakes in billions. With so many Republicans on that gravy train, it will NEVER go away.

[Paranoid_Portlander]

20. What the committee really hates and fears is...

... the release of naturally occuring opioids in the brain, which is a scientific description of PLEASURE. It's in the article, and they think it's worse than heroin. This is puritanism run amok.

[Nordic]

21. this is all part of the b.s. storm before they "police" the internet

and when that happens, I'm outta here.

[Guaranteed]

24. They said "crack." Huh huh, huh huh huh. nt

[kodi]

26. nope, i never heard of a drive-by shooting with internet porn

.

[Kurovski]

27. "Internet Porn Worse than Crack"

They need a new dealer and a better browser.

[RevCheesehead]

28. And this is, of course, first-hand knowledge?
