Re: Porn and Politics
[quote=Mariner1;717752]Wait a second. Are you asserting that social conservatives are buying the porn up? Or, mayyyyybe, just maaayyyyybe, it's the moderates and liberals and don't-give-a-fuck conservatives who are buying it up?
If you're suggesting that mormons are buying up porn, by all means, point it out in the study.[/quote]
There are tons of examples of holier-than-thou social conservatives preaching one thing and doing something entirely different. See, e.g., Ted Haggard, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, David Vitter, Bob Allen -- I could go on and on. This should not be news to anyone. Do I think there are mormons are buying up porn? You better believe it.
Can I give you data on specific mormons buying up specific porn? Of course not, and you know that, which gives your argument a strawman-esque feel to it. The whole point of the study, though, was to compare porn intake and political ideology to see if they match what you would expect. They do not. There's no way that Utah hits #1 if the only people buying up porn are the handful of godless liberals that have for whatever reason chosen to live there. It's ridiculous to even suggest that.
