All studies prove that porn makes you de-sensitized to sex so you need more and more, or more risky kinds.
[citation needed]



A simple internet search on de-sensitization with porn will show you that. It is the same with any chemical addiction, and porn is connected to chemical addictions you know (hint, sex releases endorphins).

In the spirit of more useful communication,

I'd like your response to the dearth of scientific papers that might back your assertion and links to those that you think do back your proposition.

"Bring it on." indeed. Ottava, where is this wealth of scientific literature that you've been reading while waiting to complete your PhD.

A highly religious person persecuting things he considers obscene.

Well, Canada looks nice this time of year.

Better yet, come to Australia where it is nice all year round tongue.gif

Either way, but it at least is starting to show that that supposed separation between church and state is rapidly getting smaller.

Give it a few more decades and there'll be little difference between the US and Iran the only difference will be the direction government officials pray to.

Iran -> Mecca
USA -> Wall St.



What you fail to realize is that there is no "separation of church and state" but a prohibition on Congress limiting religion.
You know who coined that phrase, yea? (or at least is credited for it)

Don't you already have enough problems with imported foreign pests?
