As for porn being the least of our worries, you're right, there's much more shit out there to worry about. The fact is though that when you can't control yourself and you are indeed addicted to porn, then you're in trouble and you don't even know it.
People might watch it when they're lonely or whatever but then it turns into something they need to do all the time. There is a severe lack of will power these days.
I also think porn is one way to keep people blind to what goes on around them. I mean not even porn but everything to do with over selling using sex or saturating a persons senses with sexual content, designed to get them aroused and stop thinking with their heads. Stuff like this can stop a person achieving their potential.
Also, since when do people when they're addicted to something, give a crap enough anything else around them? Those homeless, starving and destitute people are on their own because we are so caught up in our own luxuries.
Luxuries we don't need to survive and which snatch resources away from people who need them.

You're right bad addiction can really effect ( affect? I need too pay attention in english class more x.x ) you. I mean I look at myself, I'm trying to gain weight so I can be healthier but I have a terrible sweet tooth. Which you think would help but it doesn't because when I'm trying to work out my muscles I'm having a candy crash. Sugar just drains me and although I'd have progress it's not exactly what I wanted to be at in this point in time.
It does seem like most modern places these days are being very grabby with their resources. The amount of luxury you have is determined by the society in which you live. We have ipods and big screen t.vs while to someone in a more poor society would call a new outfit for school a luxury. People just don't all run on the same line which is weird because we do all need the same things. But that's just the human race for you. Naturally selfish and I doubt we'll ever change but their are people who do try to make change and those are just the golden eggs of society.
