There are oh so many jokes rolling around in my head right now. :smokin:
Does anyone know what kind of porn Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) is watching?
Whatever it is, the 67-year-old Black, who is running for governor of Tennessee, said it’s a “big part†of what is driving the spike in school shootings.
During a meeting last week with local pastors, Black raised the issue of gun violence in schools and why it keeps happening.
“Pornography,†she said....

There were no shootings in my school when this came out in 1982.

Guess they should ban kids from getting porn...wait... :shrug:

If this were true there would be 3 school shootings everyday, at least. Although I do actually believe that violent video games are a contributing factor. A kid playing games where the goal is to shoot, stab, blowup, and kill, everyone you see since he is 8 years old cannot help but to be affected by it.

Perhaps – you also have to consider the fact they have been indoctrinated to believe their feelings and self-esteem are paramount. When they get old enough to learn the world does not give a damn, they are not properly equipped to cope with it.

Another dim win in the making.

Related to your point......
A new video game called Active Shooter, which simulates a school shooting, has people on social media expressing their concern.

She has a point—a strange point, but a valid point nonetheless. How many of these shootings have been tied to female rejection? Elliot Rodger and the Isla Vista shooting (which contrary to HuffPo's claims was in a wealthy community). The Toronto car killer. There are quite a few others. Perhaps the rapid proliferation of porn on the Internet has instilled unrealistic expectations and the notion that impulses toward the opposite sex can be gratified instantly. Then when they don't, it leads to rage and bitterness. It could be a factor.
Of course, the left and its "disarmament at all costs" crusade will never admit it, and it does come off as something a 60-something grandma would say, but she might be partially right.
Also note:
The primary in Tennessee is not until August 2. Black faces one realistic challenger, Randy Boyd. I don't know much about him, but the last independent polling not commissioned by Black showed the race very close. Before we panic about a lost seat, HuffPo may have dropped a bombshell a little too early to be effective.

Speaking of which, how did your eye doctor appointment go?

If they want to go Clockwork Orange on someone to rid them of porn addiction, they should make them watch Joe Barton’s skype sessions.

She may have a point, there is a certain subset of Briefers here, the agitators, that would be in here a lot more, stirring the pot, so to speak, if their hands weren't so busy with their p0rn instead of working the keyboard on TBR.
