Tennessee lawmaker says pornography is a 'root cause' of school shootings

So, she didn’t say porn was the root cause…

“Why do we see kids being so violent? What’s out there? What makes them do that?” Black said. “Because, as a nurse, I go back to root cause. And I think it’s a couple things,” Black said, listing off deterioration of the family and violent movies, before mentioning pornography.

She mentioned deterioration of the family and violent movies first. Some are ignoring that like the plaque for argument’s sake.:roll_eyes:

back in the 1992-93 school year, about 0.55 students per million were shot and killed; in 2014-15, that rate was closer to 0.15 per million.

■■■■ Cratic, why is it every day I have to remind you to actually read a damn article before you spout on it.

That is a direct quote for ■■■■ sake. Stop being so lazy before you post.

Do you disagree with those?

I’m glad we agree the thread title is misleading… Family and violent movies come before it…

yep… why arent there school shootings in let’s say… Italy… they have access to the same content Americans do

Did she say family and movies before porn?

Porn is probably the root cause of Hollywood sexual harassment epidemic though…

You voted for trump…you have zero moral authority here

Does the order make a difference?

Her quote wasn’t “I go back to a root cause, family and violent movies, not so much a root cause but still a factor was porn”

You can’t imply or assume she didn’t consider it a root cause nor can you say one was more important than the other. That is putting words into her mouth she didn’t say.

If deterioration of the family isn’t a huge factor then why could we carry guns to school, for hunting after school, without incident?

Check your sarcasm meter.

Says an abortion supporter? :rofl:

I said factor, not sole cause.

so there are no broken homes in Japan nor Italy?

gotta protect those rape babies huh

Sure, they didn’t rape anyone.

Is it possible for you to respond in even one thread without mentioning abortion?
