Pornography in the States

Study Links Porn to Politics

A new study by a professor at Harvard found that subscriptions to pornography websites are actually more common in conservative Republican states than in the more liberal Democratic states. This may indicate that states which would normally have stricter laws on pornography viewing and production are actually more likely to view the sites themselves. Benjamin Edelman, who designed the study, said that these results could have multiple meanings. For instance, perhaps the rigid laws against pornography stores in the conservative states have forced the liberals of the state to turn to the Internet. Additionally, Edelman said these results may show that pornography isn't such a bad habit, that really everyone dabbles in it once in a while.

I found the results of this study to be quite interesting. It seems that people with the strongest convictions of what is right and wrong are usually those who fall astray. It seems similar to the tribulations occurring in the Catholic church -- those who are supposed to have the love of God within them are actually mistreating and psychologically harming the young boys who trust them. It also seems that the hate mongers in the world, those against homosexuals, transgenders, bisexuals, etc., have chosen these causes because of some sense of confusion they may have within themselves. Perhaps protesters aren't mad because two men are getting married, but because they have had those same urges. It seems that recently there have been more ironic cases like these. And most often, these are the people on juries across the nation sentencing people to life in prison for being different.
