Addiction Recovery

As more details of the Tiger Woods scandal come out, tabloids have been running such splashy headlines as "TIGER GIRL RACHEL CANCELS PRESS CONFERENCE - - $1 MILLION PAYOFF ALLEGED!!!"  It seems like the American media and even large portions of the American people are all too eager to absolutely trash someone who was once one of the nation's greatest heroes.  Without clearly admitting guilt, Tiger Woods has at least taken partial responsibility for whatever it is that he did.  In a statement posted on Tiger's website on Wednesday, Tiger acknowledged his "transgressions" that "let my family down" while at the same time pleading with the press for some privacy.   But this scandal just seems to get bigger by the hour. 

Yes, if Tiger Woods did commit adultery that is a very bad and very ugly thing and he was very, very wrong.  But why should this be sensationalized and celebrated endlessly in the media?  Perhaps the men of America should examine their own lives before being so quick to pass judgment on someone else.  You see, the truth is that America is a nation full of men who are sex addicts, adulterers and perverts.  It is really easy to jump on Tiger Woods, but how would most men in America stack up if the full weight of the tabloid media was weighing on them? 

The following are 10 reasons why American men should think twice before they judge Tiger Woods.....

#1) According to one major study, one out of every four married men in the United States admit to having at least one extramarital affair.  That is stunning, but imagine how much higher the numbers would be if it included all the ones who are lying about it?

#2) Scientists conducting a major scientific study at the University of Montreal recently launched a search for men who had never looked at pornography - but could not find a single one.

#3) Young men in America are so addicted to sex and are so incredibly irresponsible that they are getting record numbers of young teen girls pregnant.  In fact, 115 girls at one high school in Chicago alone either already have a baby or are pregnant right now.

#4) Thanks to the horniness of American men, 1 out of every four teen girls in the United States now has an STD and more than 25 percent of the residents of New York City now have herpes.

#5) Authorities estimate that there are over 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the United States today.  The vast majority of that abuse is committed by American men.

#6) Authorities also estimate that approximately 95% of all teenage prostitutes were sexually abused as children.  Once again, the men of America are overwhelmingly to blame for that.

#7) More than 70% of men in the United States between the ages of 18 and 34 visit at least one pornographic website in a typical month.

#8) In fact, a recent survey revealed that American men are so addicted to pornography that a large number of them can't even wait to get home to view it.  The survey found that 25 percent of American employees who have Internet access visit porn websites while they are at work.

#9) 89 dollars is spent on porn every single second of every single day in the United States.  The vast majority of that money is spent by American men.

#10) Porn industry revenue in the United States is larger than all of the revenues for all professional football, baseball and basketball franchises combined.

Are you starting to get the picture?

The truth is that before the men of America judge Tiger Woods, perhaps they should judge themselves.  There are tens of millions of American men out there who have done things just as bad as Tiger Woods has done - or worse.
