Pornography is a ‘root cause’ of school shootings, Republican congresswoman says (marijuana, versus)

[AnUnidentifiedMale]

The comment about pornography came as Black wondered what was driving some children to such violent ends.

“What makes them do that?” she said. “Because as a nurse, I go back to root causes.”

She then listed a couple of these root causes, which included pornography, as well as “deterioration of the family” and violence in movies.

“Pornography, it’s available, it’s available on the shelf when you walk in the grocery store,” she said. “Yeah, you have to reach up to get it, but there’s pornography there. All of this is available without parental guidance. And I think that is a big part of the root cause.”

Could the school shootings have anything to do with access to guns? Nah... It's pornography - of course.

You can’t fix stupid.

Let's not misrepresent things here... pornography was part of a longer list of items.

If you go to the original piece in HuffPo...

Beyond naughty movies, Black said school shootings are on the rise because of the “deterioration of the family,” mental illness and violent movies.

I would put deterioration of the family far higher on the list of potential causes.

It couldn't be pornography, everyone knows, it's that devil rock and roll music.

And those pot needles.

If anything, our completely warped perspective on sex versus violence is a root cause. Show people getting murdered on TV, in a movie, or in a game in a gruesome way with a gun? Totally ok.

But show a boob? Call the FTC!!

How something that is so basic to human nature (sex) became so taboo, I'll never understand.

Watching some people have sex has never, ever, driven me to a feeling of violence.

This country is so backwards sometimes.

If that were true, every teenage boy would be a school shooter.

But they're not, so there must be some other cause.

Curse-ed marijuanas! The kids inject them, and next thing you know, they are eating faces, killing babies, and scromiting all over the place! Rumor has it, they listen to the hippity hop too!

This is a joke, but this is the mentality of the people currently running this country.
