You have to wonder how much internet porn is causing this decline.

Who needs a gf or wive anymore when you have the miracles of the net! Wait until VR becomes mainstream. Hubba Hubba. 🙂

I've never met a person that watched porn and then went, 'whelp I've seen naked person, no need for the real thing now!'

No, but porn dehumanizes sex even more than our overall cultures does - which is quite a feat if you think about it. Recreation is not something that is tied to that kind of sex.

This is all over the news but this one FOX article is set up with pretty graphics and a short amount of text for FOX readers to comprehend. I'm sure trump will act on this with tweets and executive orders. Something like the -no more condoms & birth control or early withdrawal act of 2018? Or maybe campaign slogans like Hump for Trump! ?

"Deaths of non-Hispanic white people now outnumber births in the majority of U.S. states for the first time ever between 2015 and 2016, new data released by the U.S. Census Bureau show.

The figures reveal that the country’s white population is aging rapidly – an average white American is 43.5 years old – as more whites postpone having children.

Meanwhile, minority populations in the U.S. are rising significantly faster thanks to immigration flows and younger population of Hispanic Americans, who are on average 29.3 years old.

According to the Census Bureau projection, whites in America will constitute less than 50 percent of the population around 2045, a demographic shift many have foreseen for a long time.

“It’s happening a lot faster than we thought."

- Rogelio Sáenz, a demographer"

I seriously considered applying for citizenship until Trump hit. Actually Barack inspired me, but this climate has us taking a hard second thought on those plans.(am a "successful" white male).
So whites minus one.

The reproductive system does not care why you do it, and porn does not really encourage the carful use of birth control. In fact there is a argument that it discourages the use.

I just don't really see a strong argument for porn being a driving factor in people having less sex, nor for a lower pregnancy rate. I rather think that if it has any effect at all (which I am not sure it is significant) it actually encourages more sexual encounters.

Well, at least they won't be voting against their self interest anymore.

That's astoundingly delusional. Dems aren't afraid of disease ridden dope dealing Mexican rapists stealing our jobs, Islamic terrarists! posing as refugees or a lot of things that apparently terrify GOP voters.

Well, in general Dems don't vote based on fear. That's a highly honed skill of Republican leadership.

Maybe not on a local level, but from a national election standpoint, yes they absolutely did ignore the white middle class. In 2016 Hillary largely ignored Penn, MI, and WI banking on the hubris they would break in her direction. That cost her the election. 2016 was a referendum on identity politics.

It's not like Dem policy ignored them, is it? Social programs are the lifeblood of the whole rust belt region.

Meanwhile, the GOP is giving them a thrill riding the high hard one...

Yeah, it's the left pushing racial politics with their goals of civil rights and equality, and not Trump and the right with their inflammatory rhethoric about Mexican rapists, Muslim terrorists, black thugs, and how "whites are going to be an oppressed minority unless we start deporting brown people!"
Yep, makes perfect sense.

I agree "racial" probably isn't the right term, but Dems definitely play "identity" politics. Even if it's in the form of inclusion it's still an active and targeted demographic.

The whole contention is bullshit because it's the GOP preaching divisive White identity politics.

We're all Americans so maybe we should act like it.

Sure, but that's not what he said. He said that "the left" was engaging in fearmongering racial politics when it's clearly the right doing that.
In fact, the Dems biggest problem is that Hope and Change just doesn't motivate people to the polls quite the way that Fear and Outrage does.
That brandonbull seems to think otherwise, despite Trump & co pushing racial fearmongering on a daily basis, is an example of either projecting, disconnect, or just plain ol dishonesty.
 
Oh, if some of the message was lost in translation it's because I've got Brandobull on my ignore list. So I probably took something out of context/quote that was hidden.

It's like when they claimed that "Obama is dividing us" while they called him a Muslim terrorist for no other reason than the color of his skin (and of course, the letter next to his name).
I think it was Spidey who said that the way Obama had divided was when he said that Trayvon could have been his son. How exactly that statement was divisive, I'm still unsure about. But what I am sure of is that Spidey's narrative of that event would have been completely different if it had been an armed black man who followed a white teenager home and shot him in the street out front.

The Japanese are into all sorts of fetishes, anime porn and what not. And they are barely having any sex. I've never been to Japan but it seems only the logical outcome when sex becomes divorced from anything deeper.

Correlation does not equal causation. The Japanese have a lot of other social issues going on than their fetishes.
And honestly, I don't think the Japanese are any more kinky than the rest of us, they are just more open about it.
