[edit] Minor typos under Porn#Religious objections

In the religion section are 2 typos: "Mathew" and "adulery" -- Christianity condemns both the production and use of pornography. Jesus states, "Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Mathew 5:27-28). In the first verse Jesus is quoting the Torah (Exodus 20:14), reminding his Jewish listeners that adulery is forbidden.

[edit] Feminism

Why is there a feminism section? I don't get it. Feminism is one of hundreds of fringe movements. Why is their opinion important enough to have an entire section in this article and even sub-sections?--AlekNovi (talk) 16:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

1. Feminism regards 50% of the human population. 2. Goth-ism or Wiccan-ism or whatever other fringe movement hardly has any influence on porn. Yili2943 (talk) 07:48, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Apparently awesome for Japanese a decade ago

From a search of the peer-reviewed secondary (review and meta-analysis) literature on PubMed: "despite the wide increase in availability of pornography to children, not only was there a decrease in sex crimes with juveniles as victims but the number of juvenile offenders also decreased significantly." - "Pornography, Rape and Sex Crimes in Japan" by Diamond M, Uchiyama A. in Int J Law Psychiatry. 1999 Jan-Feb;22(1):1-22. Review. Richardson TR (talk) 19:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Why is pornography linked to driving technology?

I have never seen a good report detailing how pornography actually drives technology in a significant respect. It is an unsubstantiated myth with nothing to back it up. I've actually seen authors outside wikipedia link to this portion of the page like this is some kind of reference, while the wikipedia reference "Some people claim..." has a big question mark behind it. If pornography is such an important part of driving technology, a respectable source should be provided. The line should be taken down or a suitable reference found. Many subjects drive technology but unless pornography has some incredible and traceable reference, it shouldn't be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Strattonbrazil (talk • contribs) 16:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
