You are more attracted to ads than porn?!

Define "attracted". I believe porn and gambling both do incredible amounts of damage to society. Ads probably do some damage to society, though I can recognize some benefits in being able to advertise and market products and services. I don't believe there is any benefit to the other two.

if I had my druthers, we'd leave the ads but get the porn and gambling.

two out of three of those require me to want to do them for them to affect my life.
