Three Myths About Porn

I actually lost my breaks one time while driving to work. Like, I totally lost all braking ability. I ran into the privacy fens on the other side of the parking lot, but no one was injured. I actually drove my truck home, and then to the mechanic the next day- without any breaks. The stickiest part was making a left turn going downhill with a dump truck approaching in the other lane! Crazy, yes, but I didn't die. I think 90% chance of dying too high.

Of course, you are correct- your chances of dying from getting in a care without breaks is higher than your chances of dying from looking at porn. But, your chances of being addicted to porn are about perhaps (who really knows?) similar to your chances of dying?

Also, keep in mind that there are things much worse than death.

You knowingly drove around for two days without brakes? The level of risk you put everyone else on the road and children crossing the street/etc... is amazing. You should be in jail.

Okay, to further explain, I have a standard transmission, I drove very slow, I took back roads, only a couple of miles, and I was following a coworker, who had a very large truck that I could run into without causing harm harm. (I never hit him).

And yes, it was in my younger, and probably stupider years. Though I am stupid enough I would likely do the same thing again.
