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%).

Wow people don’t realize how morally wrong it is to have billionaires. I guess we’re surrounded by morons

Ya that was really disappointing number to look at.

This, on top of many others, shows how mind-bent in a bad way Americans are.

No wonder they have a shithead for "President".

From what I understand watching pornography is a more complex issue, and it depends on a number of factors.

As a dane, this explains a lot with all the weird stuff you hear about the US these days.

US society is fundamentally broken and has been for a long time.

My family's from the South. I have seen some shit you wouldn't believe.

But 4-in-10 finding homosexuality "morally wrong" is jaw dropping, to me. Another 23%, just "acceptable." In 2026?

WTF.

I thought homophobes were dying out, but apparently not.

"Morally acceptable" and "not a moral issue" combine into the greater "not morally wrong" category. Personally I'd put it in "not moral issue," but I don't assume any I'll will on the part of people saying it's "acceptable"

I honestly didn't realize that beating children was still so popular.
