Please copy 100 times: Correlation does not imply causation Could someone please inform the anti porn resource center of the ideas of research methodology, peer review, and the correlation implies causation fallacy? And then ask them to rewrite their brochure (pdf). Mm'kay?
Uh, I'm posting this here because it was bugging me but it's not relevant to the MeFi post that led me to it. (Incidentally, hi, this is my first MeCha FPP. I didn't commit any n00b faux pas, did I? Too many links? Not enough bunnies?) I was kinda being facetious when I said to inform them. I'm kinda hoping that they check their referrer logs and end up here, though.

Hello, cousin. We're laid back here. No worries. Also, just about everyone is in Vegas this weekend so we'll have to postpone your initiation paddlin' until next week. I can't man the yogurt cannon by myself.

We have proven in the past that talking back to anti-porn-evolution-gay rights-drug-any kind of fun crusaders makes them stop.

What the hell is that, some freshman's Women Studies class project?

By the way some people act you would think it disproves causation...

I thought this was intresting though:

The rate of reported sexual assaults in
Japan has doubled overall between
1996 and 2003. (National Police Agency
of Japan)


What does that have to do with porn? Is the idea Japan = Porn so ingrained in people's heads now?

By the way, I'm sure that increase was caused entirely by their banning psychedelic mushrooms in that time period. *sigh*.

Yeahyeah. The Japan thing was the icing on the cake. One could also argue that since Japan censors penile penetration, that porn censorship actually causes assault. Also, pirates prevent global warming! Oh my!
