Utah becomes first state to declare pornography a public health crisis SALT LAKE CITY — Utah became the first state in the country to declare pornography a public health crisis, and called on the industry and businesses Tuesday to help keep "evil, degrading, addictive" materials away from children. Gov. Gary Herbert signed a resolution the state Legislature unanimously passed earlier this year calling for education, prevention, research and policy changes to address the pornography "epidemic." ...snip... "We have restaurants, fast-food restaurants, some of which cater to children, who are providing free and unfiltered Wi-Fi as well as public libraries," Weiler said. "If a library or McDonald's or anyone else was giving out cigarettes to our children we would be picketing them." No wonder Utah went so heavily for Cruz, as he's the only candidate who has argued in court that you don't have a due-process right to stimulate your own genitals.

You'd figure they'd love Trump, since he actively puts people off the thought of stimulating their genitals.
I've been to Salt Lake City. It was creepy. It's like you know you're in America, it looks like America but something's just...a bit...off....
I liked Salt Lake City. One of the more clean cities you'll find in the USA, friendly people and a kick ass restaurant called the Copper Onion I read that Utah is #1 in the US for porn consumption, mostly due to the draconian attitudes towards sex displayed by religious people that live there. So really, religion is what is to blame here.
I love how not only are the holiest places the biggest porn consumers, but the most racist states have the most interracial searches, and the most homophobic/transphobic states have the most gay/trans searches. And you know who's the biggest porn consumers worldwide? Muslim countries. And they're into some freaky shit. Grannies, pedo, animals, everything. They're aaaalll hypocrites.
I've been to Ogden. The Prussian Mafia has it right. There really is something odd, there. Sort of like Pre-programmed, pre-masticated.
Isn't porn already kept away from kids if...wait for it....their PARENTS are doing their job? I am responsible for my kids, not the church. Case closed. And let me add to the comments on Utah - it does feel strange, weird, off-putting, etc. I can't put it into words. Matter-of-fact today I'm at my son's home he's renting, moving some of his things because they have septic tank issues and blah blah blah. Anyway some Mormons showed up at the door and I just did not have time to deal with them. But they did give out a heavy "creepy" vibe.
Google Analytics used to have some great info about which states/countries searched for the most porn and which sort of porn was most searched. As I recall Pakistan lead the world on searches for daughter rape and goat sex. Clearly Pakistanis have very particular tastes in porn.
Dude, you missed out on some free labor! Mormon missionaries are REQUIRED to offer to help you, if you agree to listen to their spiel. I keep hoping some will show up at my door so I can get a garden dug.
Oh, I'll tell you exactly what your vibe detector is picking up. Google "Mountain Meadows massacre". TLDR version, in the 1850's Mormons slaughtered a whole wagon train. Men, women, children, babies splattered against wagon wheels, the works. Then, they rounded up the 3-5 year olds, shot an 8 year old girl in the head in front of them, and said "this will happen to you if you ever tell what happened". Those kids grew up, and finally blabbed it all, then 100+ years later, that site was excavated, and they found all the baby skeletons with smashed in skulls that confirmed the story. A Mormon monument is built there that blames the Native Americans. Fuck Mormonism.
Really. You let them do their little spiel and when they're done they'll ask you, "Is there anything we can help you with?" And if you say, "I need help cleaning my garage." they'll offer to help and will do so until they figure out they're not going to get you to join.
I lived in SLC when I was young, single, and working for an airline. It was nice. Mormons are in the minority there (not so for the rest of the state and surrounding states). At the time they didn't have liquor by the drink. But each restaurant sold minis at the cashier or you could bring your own. Then they had private clubs that you could buy a membership for some silly low amount. Clubs still had to pour from minis, but it kept your drink honest. Skiing was heaven. A dozen or so world class resorts within 30 minutes from town. Summer was splendid. Cj7 and I tooled around Canyonlands every year. Holed up in Butch Cassidy territory. Rafting trips down the colorado were days long, gourmet catered. Jack-mormon girls are nice too. Did enjoy easy pass-riding on flights out of SLC. I miss it. Sniff.
