$1:

In all, 58 percent of all adults said that they use the Internet to pass time or have fun at least occasionally. Of adults who use the Internet, nearly three-quarters surf the Web for no reason.

What is wrong with this? Fun and exploration are good.

If this is indeed the case why are over 70% of internet hits porn sites?

Only over 70%? We can do better, let's try for 90.

Quoted for truth!

[FieryVulpine]

Wait, we needed a study for this?

[raydan]

I think that before any study, there should be a study to determine if we should have that study.

^ Are you running for politics?

There should be a study to study if it would be a good idea for Raydan to start a comity to determine if there needs to be study to determine whether Raydan should go into politics or not.

IIRC I heard it on TV a few years ago. I looked for the source but couldn't find it but, I found something even better.

The statistics for porn world wide.
