wah wah wah whiney "porn" addicts on CNN now

[WindRavenX]

I don't even like porn--I think it's violent and objectifying to those involved--and yet these holy rollers are whinning about how porn is leading to their sinful downfall.

*click*. Time to play Final Fantasy Tactics.

[sasquatch]

1. I'm going to play Age of Empires

*NERDS OF THE WORLD UNITE*

[Jamastiene]

9. AoE, Yes. I'm thinking about playing a couple of games myself.

I have heard the 3rd one is buggy as hell. I sat there and read the forums and some 73 reviews of it the other day. After downloading the killer graphics and then reading those reviews, I'll stick to AoE 1 and 2 for now.

[Fox Mulder]

23. Conquerors Edition?

or the new one (AOE III)?

:D

[sasquatch]

26. No, the original Ages of Empire game

AoE II has the Conquerors edition to it.

[richmwill]

2. Eh, Swaggart tried that angle years ago (n/t)

[jmowreader]

3. If you want proof there is no god, look to the people who follow him

This "god" is supposed to make you a better person, right? God is supposed to make you not want to do bad. God is supposed to make you not want to drink, smoke dope, gamble, watch porn or anything else that displeases him.

So how come the biggest customers for booze, weed, casinos, porn and bail bonds are ALL fundies?

[alarimer]

29. They're like children

Tell them they cannot do something and that is the first thing they do. The forbidden is very attractive.

[mongo]

38. Adult entertainment know no party lines

as well a booze -- but go ahead and ascribe certain behaviors to one side, if it helps your agenda.

[SmileyBoy]

4. Ah, porn. The one issue fundies and feminists can all agree on.

:D

[sasquatch]

7. Well the fundies just yearn for the porn stars though

[WCGreen]

5. I don't know if there is a correlation but....

violent sexual crimes have been in a steady decline since the late 1990's....

Coincidentally, the explosion of readily available porn on the internet arose at about the same time...

Now it could be that demographics has more to do with the drop in reported sexual violence....

Or it could also be due to a change in the social climate, a more conservative male oriented justice system that has sfrightened victums into not reporting the crime...

Or it could just be chance...

But it is something to consider...

[MrSlayer]

6. I got over porn when I was a teenager.

It's great until you get the real thing. After that it seems pointless and ridiculous. Why watch when you can do?

[Maestro]

33. No kidding!

PrOn just doesn't do it for me any more. It really never did because when I was a teenager it just reminded me of what I wasn't doing. Anyhow, if you've seen one couple do the nasty, you have seen them all. Some of the stuff though is just plain wierd! And I am no prude! BTW, Slayer rulezzzzzzzzzzzzz! God, I hate this crap they pass for metal nowadays.

[Jamastiene]

8. I do like porn and I'm sick of hearing holy rollers talk about it

as if they ever really take the blame themselves for things they do themselves. Phtooey. Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

[anarch]

30. I don't have anything against porn, but

sadly the internet has given me a whole new perspective on the last sentence in your post...if you know what I mean. :scared:

[NaturalHigh]

34. It's not just "holy rollers" who hate porn.

There are plenty of people on the left (and even here at DU) who hate it and think you're a macho, chauvinist, woman-hating pig if you like it.

[MissMillie]

36. Make your own porn w/ someone you love

and keep the money out of it. Only then can there be no exploitation involved.

[NaturalHigh]

37. I really don't care about porn one way or the other...

so long as only adults are involved in the making and viewing. I do get sick of the attitude that anyone who enjoys porn is being "exploitive", though.

[elshiva]

10. Personally, I like Lesbian Erotica made by Lesbians

(stuff made by men, girl on girl is dumb IMHO). Also like Bettie Page and
Marilyn Monroe pictures. But I do not like most of the stuff that passes
for pornography nowadays. They are usually not real women but touched up by
plastic and computers. Nowadays Page and Monroe would be considered too "fat"
for porn and that sucks...
:(

[NMMNG]

14. rAmen

I'm glad there is somebody else who recognizes the difference. That Barbie on Barbie stuff made by men is not lesbian porn, it is girl-on-girl action made for men. Lesbian erotica is a whole different category.

[elshiva]

15. Yes, sure is.

I like the paperback anothologies of Lesbian Erotica.

[NMMNG]

18. I just bought one when I was in Provinctown this October

I haven't had a chance to read much of it yet. :-(

[elshiva]

20. Oh well. Just browsed a little through

"Gone is the Shame" an anthology of fifty years of lesbian erotica.

There was also a Lesbian Romance called "That Provincetown Summer"

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. No, their problem is that they're whiny fucks with no self control

[xmas74]

12. Prefer erotica.

And they can always choose to not look at it!

[NMMNG]

13. It's not the porn stupid!

It's your vile, hateful paradigm that is leading to your sinful downfall. You can't preach and teach hate, and harbor nothing but hate in your hearts without it seeping out into the rest of your lives. Learn love, acceptance and tolerance and you might know a life of joy and decency. (Message to the Fundies, not to the OP.)

[elshiva]

16. AMEN! Yes, I am so TIRED of it!

Uh, Fundies, can we actually acknowledge the elephants in the room
(famine, war, poverty what Jesus DID PREACH AGAINST) and stop wailing about porn and homosexuality, which
Jesus says NOTHING ABOUT. GRRRRRRR!

[NMMNG]

17. That would take actual sacrifice on their part

Taking action against famine and poverty would mean giving up their precious money, which they feel they deserve more than those lazy bums and third-world, non-Christian, leeches.

Taking action against war would mean giving up their hatred, which they feed constantly, and feel is justified. Stop hating the Iraquis? Hell no--they are Muslims, followers of that horrid religion of Islam. Stop hating the Isralis? Hell no--they are Jews, the people who killed Jesus. Better to wipe them all off the planet, unless they decide to convert to our religion. :eyes:

[elshiva]

19. Yes, so obviously they will do everything to

avoid anything challenging...

War on Christmas? PuhhhhhhhhLEEEEEZ! :(

Also reminds me of Dubya joking that he wanted to
go to Israel and tell everyone there that they "weren't saved."
How does he or anyone know THAT or have any right?

[NMMNG]

21. They only take up those causes

That won't affect their wallets, and won't take any real effort. If you notice, all of their causes basically involve inciting rage and maybe some picketing. They never involve creating positive social change, putting themselves out to help others, giving up money in the name of helping those in need, etc.

And Dubya, he knew the people in Israel weren't "saved" because they weren't Christians. Duh! :sarcasm:

[elshiva]

22. Putting the DUH back in Dubya.

[NMMNG]

24. Dubya puts the DUH in everything he touches

;-)

[elshiva]

25. King Midas in reverse

;)

[DS1]

27. If God made us according to his intelligent design, and we're built

with hormones designed to promote procreation and the further spread of our species in celebration of his gift, then why not celebrate our bodies?

Instead, the fundies would have us fight wars.

Silly, really.

[MissMillie]

35. It is possible, don't you think

to celebrate the human form w/o exploiting it.... don't you think?

[Fleshdancer]

28. the reason I hate porn:

the shoes. If you're going to have sex on camera, why not do it in a pair of Jimmy Choo's? :D

[eyepaddle]

31. What the hell IS up

with the shoe thing in porn anyway? :shrug:

Okay, maybe I just need to do more research, but it seems to be part of the union contract or something, "all 'actresses' must be shod at all times" or something like that?!

[aclog]

32. Wow

I'll have to pay attn to whether anyone is wearing shoes next time!
