Ban pornography and alcohol and you may get back healthy family lives in the country.

While at it, they should also ban Television, Video Games, Guns and Computers and we can all go back to the jolly good pre-19th century days of good old family gatherings

I am amazed by your analogy. 

Thanks, I tried really hard

Oh and by the way, Pornography and Alcohol have been around in family lives for a couple of thousand of years. Oddly, the things I've mentioned, have been part of a family's life for the past couple of decades (centuries in the case of guns). Now I ask you this: Are you really sure it's pornography and alcohol that's stopping a "healthy family life"?

 

Yes you can blame TV a bit for this, but nowhere near alcohol. Obviously we are not talking about small quantity that is consumed sometimes. But some can not contain themselves from drinking more than what they can bear. Beating wives and children often makes headlines of the newspaper. 

With pornography, while you can see beautiful girls naked, I wonder how fast you can lose attraction from your wife. 

And beating wives and children hasn't happened since, oh I don't know, recorded history? If anything, the numbers are much more clear nowadays and information is much more available. And wife/kids beatings have much more factors than just alcohol. Social factors, education factors, misogeny factors. 

And that pornography thing doesn't make any sense whatsoever. By that logic, any male couldn't even go outside his house, because anywhere you go you can see beautiful girls. Going to the beach should be forbidden then, or perhaps maybe we should all wear burkas or full snuggies while we're in there? If you love your wife/lover/girlfriend/companion, those feelings won't go away just because you look at someone else, whether they're fully clothed or naked.
We're not irrational animals that just go with what our mating instincts tells us to do, there's a little something called rational thinking and feelings as well.
