While I don't necassarily think that looking at bad pictures makes you emulate or want to emulate them, I do believe that the porn pictures have a lot to do with whatever pedophile rampancy we have in this country...not EVERYONE is strong-willed against the power of pictures.

You are assuming here that pedophila is somehow more prevalent in today's world when you say "rampancy". I'd say not. I just think it is more visible due to the forms of media and communication we have today.

I'm not one who believes that the solution to addiction is removing it's availability. That just drives it underground and adds the factors of money and criminal activity. Better to deal with it out in the open.
