I'll support that Gibo, it's a fantastic idea - provided people ringing it have to identify themselves to the detectives.

To prevent crank calls, naturally.

It would also help if the people making use of this witchcraft line, could inform the detectives at the other end as to what actions they personally have taken to combat witchcraft and whether there was violence involved.

Oh, and their current location, and whether they're on any medication - particularly any that could interfere with sedatives.

I forgot, the link to the US Dept of Justice Statistics

runner, that your post is a continuous ad hominem attack simply means you have nothing to offer or to contribute to the debate.

Gibo “do see a future coming where porn is banned for the good of the communities and offenders are heavily penalised for owning it. We wont stop the rapes any other way.”

The statistics and objective analysis suggest banning porn will make no difference to the incidence of rape.

Indeed the http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/proceedings/14/kutchinsky.pdf

report might imply a ban might well increase the incidence of rape (simple logic, if removing a ban reduces the incidence of event, reinstalling a ban will increase the incidence of an event).

The other obvious point which you totally ignore in your assertion is this

Pornography, even if it were a contributory factor to rape, which it clearly is not, is not the only or exclusive factor.

Unless you address all the issues

To find out the causal influences on crime is difficult , using the key words “sex crime causes” produced the following

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4463713 has “causes of sex crimes in adolescence” but it is written in German.

http://www.aardvarc.org/rape/about/whowhy.shtml makes a good attempt and notably does not mention “pornography” among the causes

An Australian paper http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lawlink/bocsar/ll_bocsar.nsf/vwFiles/cjb54.pdf/$file/cjb54.pdf

Concluded “Because crime is not the result of any single factor or combination of factors, it makes no sense to seek to control crime by any single strategy or set of strategies. A mix of strategies will always be appropriate. The emphasis on particular strategies should vary according to the nature of the crime
problem at hand, the available options for influencing the problem and the urgency with which change is required. Governments anxious to maximise their control over crime are better off trying to influence as many factors as possible, rather than concentrating all their efforts on one or two factors..”

Since viewing pornography has been tested and found not to be a cause of sexual assault, banning it is not going to reduce the incidence of rape or other sexual assaults

The christian porn site was both 'creepy' and hilarious, but seems like you needed to know what your brethren are up to - so to speak.

But thanks for taking a peek...

:-D

I dont really trust statistics.
Some years ago we had a christian boarder from the banking world and he had a laugh at stats saying that you can use stats to manipulate anything you want. You can make them do anything the heart desires.
I really believe he was right.
The committed christian view is that manipulation in any form is witchcraft because its not based on truth and is designed to meet the manipulaters requirements in the areas of greed and lust.
Sorry.
I dont trust stats.
Make a good thread though wouldnt it?
"STATS! millions wasted each year on false data" etc

A week or two ago, our local paper ran a long article about the Porn report. We are in a rural area, and our paper is generally regarded as a family read. This was on a Saturday, so that is especially so then.
I am amazed that people can swallow the lie that porn is harmless when we should all know by now, the effects it has had on the communities in the North of Australia. Certainly, most of them are aboriginal, but dont think that it can not come over ethnic lines , or socio economic lines. It generally regards women as meat. Lets be frank. Women and girls and children deserve much better. Good on you for posting a critic of it!

Ah Gibo, the endless Christian concern about sex. No wonder the
Muslims are gaining on you in numbers. At least they accept the
joys of sex, but are just paranoid that somebody might be knocking
off their wives.

Get used to it, that erection that you occasionaly have or wake up
with is normal and natural. Enjoy it, rather then call it evil.

No wonder that thinking people have left the Christian church in
droves and the pews are nearly empty on Sundays!

The real problem is the religious not accepting that sex is normal
and natural, so out of the Christian Church, we have a string of
perverts emerging, who are regularly taken to court. BD is a worry
he constantly mentions it, so clearly its on his mind a great deal :)
