Just who are these *other people* anyway, huh? Oh, oh, I see... the *other people* are the rapists and murderers! Now I get it, *we* can view this stuff without being corrupted, but statistics show that rapists and murderers that view porn all go out and rape and murder! Never mind that the statistics also show that rapists and murderers that eat pizza, drive cars, wake up in the morning, etc. also go out and rape and murder, because those things are politically ok.
