Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

America is a fascinating place to me
Less people think being gay is wrong than having an abortion?
How progressive
Thanks for sharing, now I really want to go cry. I hate this country.
ITT a good reminder that Lemmy is an echo chamber
I dunno it seems to match up with what most of my IRL friends believe in.
Here's the functional basis of my system of morality:

Try viewing that list through this lens. I don't give a shit about peoples' choices if they don't have an appreciable halo effect.
Some of these percentages are really depressing.
The US is cooked. Decades of press capture by right-wing billionaires, educational capture by religious zealots and defunding, etc.. none of this is accidental. Uninformed, uneducated, religious fundamentalists are easy to manipulate.
You could present these results as coming from a survey of any of the "shithole countries" (Haiti, El Slavador, Africa broadly) the US pedo in charge has turned his nose up against, and nobody would think the results are odd. But look at these comments - disbelief.
I do not watch much pornograpy, but this chart encouraged me to do so to distance from Americans more
more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).
Meanwhile extreme wealth and spanking were two out of the three (four with caveats) I saw that I thought were morally wrong.
I would love to see how the abortion and death penalty categories overlap.
Infidelity? Of course the worst thing someone can engage in, obviously.
Killing people for punishment with a a clear an obvious error rate that leaves innocent people murdered by the state? 'Well, you see..."
I get porn might not be healthy, especially porn addiction. But I do not get why it is morally wrong.
