Pornography and Mormons

I read these news some days ago and I can understand the frustrations of the mother. You are trying very hard to get your kids out of pornography but now they come right at your door! *shaking head*. The mother of one of the kids confronted the kid thinking he was the one asking for it and the kid denied until the neighbors got together and discovered everyone got one, with their names of the sons on the magazines. Where did they get the info? School district??.

ANTI-PORN BILL MAY BE ILLEGAL, LAWYERS WARN

A bill aimed at stopping Utah-based purveyors of pornography from distributing their material to children could have much broader impacts. That's the concern expressed by a Constitutional Review Note attached to HB260, one of the few bills this session saddled with such a note.

Comments: Actually, Let me clarify that statement as it is kinda misleading.

Utah ranks number one for ONLINE use of Pornography.

I attribute this to the conservative stance and the difficulty in buying porn over the counter or at strip clubs or peep shows. Having a lack of real, tangible pornography forces those who divulge in this filth to search the web for their fix.

In all reality, Utah is dwarfed in overall porn consumption, sales and production by most states. Only in online memberships do they rank number one...again, due to the difficulty of getting magazines and tangible pornography.
