Bin Laden's hard drive full of porn

Yeah, that's a better example of what I think he meant than roid rage.

similarly, the "video games fuel violence" argument...

not that it isn't "true", more that this probably isn't the best explanation. I also dont trust killers to be the best judge of their own psychology

I don't know how much it could influence a mass murderer to do stuff as it's just so much "unknown" to me. Is it possible that the violent porn had him thinking about those murderous thoughts more so than if he did not have the porn present? Probably. I don't think that means he would have remained "murder free" as it just sped up the process, at the worst.

For quite a few terrorists (usually the lower ranking members, from poorer nations) that's exactly what it is - their joining has less to do with ideology and more to do with practicality. They get paid for their work and send the money back to their families.

Why do you find it hard to believe that he had free time, btw? Or that he was a hypocrite who watched porn? It all seems to fit if you ask me...hypocrisy and extremism (of any kind) seem to go hand-in-hand.

Lower levels, sure, I don't doubt.

I find it unbelievable, because he isn't there, in a cave, hiding from place to place because he joined some cause he kind of believes in and now he lingers around and occasionally looks at porn.

This is supposed to be the leader of the biggest terrorist network in the world, who was wanted by the world.
If you told me Saddam Hussain has tons of porn, I'll be like ''yeah probably'' or any extremist Ayatollah, Rabbi or a Priest - I'd be thinking ''well, duh''.

But this to me would be like Che Guevara sitting around, watching porn on the internet, had it been available back then.

I feel that porn is such a trivial thing for someone who's trying to subdue the entire western civilization.
For this reason, I don't believe it. I also don't believe it because 'news' of this is just silly and stupid. Nobody cares.
I'd be more interested if there were information pointing to a possible next target or something interesting the public was allowed to know.
Contacts, people he spoke to...bla bla bla.

If nothing but porn was found on his computer, no names, no contacts, no indication of possible attacks, no plans, no main targets - then bin Laden is full of win.

This is therefore publicity stunt in my eyes - just like supposed killing of him was.

I think you severely overestimate the time and effort required to masturbate.

I think the government would keep that stuff under very tight wraps until they foil any and all plans (even satellite plans to the ones found). Even then it may take several years AFTER they address everything related to items found, before they tell us about it.

There could also be nothing on his PC.

It would also be hilarious if he did not have his hard drive encrypted with something. A charged child-pornographer encrypted his and when he was arrested, the police neeed the evidence from his hard drive to prosecute him and he REFUSED to give up his password. Even using a supercomputer would take billions of years to crack the encryption on his computer which makes it hilarious. (Shitty that he's a dirty nasty disgusting piece of shit of a human, but hilarious on how easy it is to foil the "system" with some security.) The fact that Osama didn't do that should point to how "rag-tag" and lowly sophisticated his outfit was.

And I watch the news regularly, you'd be surprised how little I've heard the word "pornography" 😉

Do you read the newspaper?It is in there most of the time.And you also can't handle any poof but your own and not listen or care what others say when they challage you on what they know. 🙂

i'm just joking with ya. Calm down 😄

But on the subject of this thread, as I've already stated, Bin Laden was a disgusting repulsive human being so his hypocrisy of having porn on his computer doesn't really change my opinion of him

On the subject of whether porn induces violent behavior in others, I am going to have to disagree. As has been stated many times in this thread, A LOT of people watch porn. Probably mostly everybody at some point. The thing that produces serial killers is usually an abusive childhood. Hell, the LACK of porn probably contributes to ****ing up one's psyche

EDIT: i was just pondering. I guess one could say that constantly appeasing certain fetishes could possibly lead to violent behavior, but that certainly does not mean all porn in general

poopyhead 😄

Ok I can take a joke alot of people just are jerks and I normanly can't tell if one is joking or not.Anyway again I did not mean everybody.

No more truth to this than any other propaganda disinformation.

It is no one chooses to believe it because they can't handle the truth(lol)

A man is a man.

Weither it's due to biological reasons or just social norms, I don't think most women see sex and sexual activities in the same way that most men do.

I bet Che's Playboy/Penthouse collection was legend.

No I argee they don't.
