The University of Maryland wants porn but doesn’t want prayer! The students and university senate can vote and nullify the graduation invocation on their own. The reason being what their “peer” schools do or believe in. A Md. state senator was going to threaten with-holding state funds on the porn issue but was later informed by the judiciary that that wasn’t allowed by law. The 2 news sources I used are liberal and conservative so that both sides were represented equally. You decide.
I am just thankful that the America of my father was good enough for me and that I was able to instill those values in my children. My last child was exclusively schooled in a church school and my oldest daughter decided to totally homeschool both my grandbabies. I guess the sign of the times is showing its butt-crack!
AFF,
Mary Magdeline was a prostitute. Mary, wife of Joseph was not.
‘It’s clear that pornography, just like prostitution, will always exist at some level in our society. ‘
Agreed. So will murder, rape and drug use. The trouble with making ANYTHING legal is that it leads to the frequency of the given activity INCREASING.
The issue is not ‘good’ choice or ‘bad’ but — which evil do you want to tolerate?
Act,
You clearly have no place at the table in this discussion. I originally ignored your ridiculous premise of “they don’t want to pray, but they want to watch porn” to try and further a real conversation on pornography in our society.
Apparently you would rather I not use icky words or realistic numbers. I assure you that my descriptive vocabulary was intentionally muted for the audience and I would forward the opinion that those not comfortable discussing the sexual gymnastics which are occurring daily are not going to be able to help those truly in need. The most effective (and pretty much only) organizations helping sex workers are made up primarily of former sex workers. A mainstream family practitioner isn’t g
A mainstream family practitioner isn’t going to be looking for gonorrhea of the throat, but it is second nature for a person in the business.
If you want to talk about pornography in abstract terms like “sins of nature” be my guest. Just don’t expect a medal and try not to fool yourself into thinking you are doing anything more than playing the grumpy old man on the front porch role. We already have plenty of grumpy old people sitting in rocking chairs bitching about that they don’t understand.
I didn’t understand your point about violent video games or movies- I pretty much don’t watch violent movies and I don’t play video games. However, were I to publicly state an opinion in order to try and affect policy you can bet your double dildo I would familiarize myself with the business, including the lingo HOWEVER UNPLEASANT it might be.
….and um Jacob. I assure you that sex between consenting adults in no way resembles or compares to rape or murder. Thanks though for clearing up the Mary thing- I knew Jesus had a thing for a ho.
BTW. For anyone else who does wonder why people/what leads people into the sex trade an excellent source of information is the documentary American Pimp, which is not the film I mentioned above.
“but at the end of the day you can’t ignore the money factor.”
AFF,
Likely a valid point.
AFF,
As always, you miss the point. There are others that read this blog that don’t need YOUR discriptives no matter how pertinent or germane YOU think it is. We are not down on the street corner with your crack buddies looking for something to do. You should be able to make your point without the crudeness but I guess not.
No need to explain the rest for it would just fall on the wonderless. I do question your statement about not watching violent movies or playing violent video games. Oh, let me spell it out for you….from past experiences and what you are saying here, I think you are lying out your teeth. Sorry, I didn’t know the correct liberal PC statement for this term.
