Yes, but its the liberals in both the red and blue states doing the lion's share of the porn consumption. There are plenty of liberals in red states, and social pathology follows them wherever they go, regardless of the statistical shading you want to put on a state.[/quote]

CFR.

This is pretty stupid, even for you. I doubt you even believe it. So liberals are all about porn, but only when they live in red states? You're not much of a thinker, Droop.



No. "Liberals" very probably consume by far the bulk of all pornography consumed for the simple reason that they are liberals, and I mean here more in a psychological or as a feature of unreflective cultural conditioning than necessarily of political ideology. I didn't say they were "all about porn." Liberals, overwhelmingly, are moral/value relativists, and hence have little between them and such carnal ingulgence as a matter of core principle, especially when they believe "getting caught" is not likely.

Some leftists at the outer fringes, such as certain radical feminists, do oppose porn, but not for the moral reasons a church member or social conservative would understand as much as for a much narrower, ideologically focused political reasons.

The states are irrelevant, its the specific population involved that's important.

Sure, as soon as you provide an empirically substantive CFR showing the the bulk of porn consumption is centered among conservatives and Christians.

Yeah, I'm not sure you and your Mods should be addressing hypocrisy. It's human nature to delve into hypocrisy and every Internet forum is guilty of it... Including yours. No worries on my part, but I don't think you should be pooh-poohing MD&D for their Moderating policy.
