I've seen his "contributions" in many threads now, Spendius. His constant questioning has the quality of the toddler who just repeatedly asks why. In this thread, things have been explained to him, and the faults of his exposition pointed out to him, and he persists in willfully misunderstanding what is said to him. I agree that there is value in supplying the lacunae of his education, but there are limits to the utility in that. While this has been going on, i've seen him engaged in just such a pointless exercise in another thread, quite an enjoyable thread, in which he has now wasted page after page with a childish refrain of why.

If you wish to continue to engage what passes for intellect on his part, you'll have my admiration for your perspicacity, but not my companionship.


how do you get an answer if you don't ask a question setanta?

Well-I would guess Setanta is probably coreect to a certain extent in thinking you are still a bit wet behind the ears.I disagree with him in the conclusion that we should leave you out in the cold for that.You cannot help being young.I would swap places with you anytime if you can arrange it.But if I did I would pay close attention to men who have been through the mill as Setanta and myself have.

When you are given answers, you show every sign of not having understood, or being unwilling to surrender being the center of attention, and just ask the question over and over again. It gets tedious.

Setanta-

That would be a pity."i know" is a raw recruit to the legions of Western man.You and I are grizzled NCO's.Knocking him into shape is a duty.

Okay "i know"-five times round the block at the double for insubordination.

I'm past retirement age, Spendius. I just come down to the parade ground on field day to watch the rubes stumble during drill.

Now you needn't go all the way to the parade ground.That's a plus.

Just think though-if we got through to him.We might never know or get any thanks but so what.He came on A2K and it's up to us to make it worth his while for real.

Do you think I should recommend him watch Full Metal Jacket to see what tame insults sound like?

God forbid--he'd be back here with twenty pages of witless questions about the meaning of the more obvious scenes, while completely missing the point of the motion picture.

And i rather suspect that they quickly lose interest when they attempt to wade through page after page of "iknow" asking why.

Haha!!!

A lot of the German porn scares me though! Smile



Germans turn me on.
There is something about that aggressive sounding language that just.. well.. flips me little lid Embarrassed
German porn? .. hmm.. it is a little TOO fanciful for my tastes. A bit scary? yeah.. a bit.. Laughing

Since we're talking about the sex-industry, what do y'all think of Red Light districts/legalizing and regulating prostitution?!


No insult intended..
But for all the basic premises of the word prostitute-
porn stars MEN AND WOMAN.. are.
Sexual performance for money.
I dont think there is anything wrong with it.
Prostitution is an industry as well. Why you choose that industry is your personal choice. Wether you choose that industry is your personal choice.
Like alot of other issues.. If you dont like it, dont buy into it. There is obviously demand for it wether it be on screen or on the corner so why bash the people who choose to partake and earn a living?
I dont personally agree with it.. that is why I dont do it. ;-)
Doesnt mean others are wrong for it.

However, I won't argue that femmes far out-number the male employees in the sex industry.



eerrr..ahhh... I would argue that statement. ;-)

sw.-

From memory you said that the ladies who star in "good porn" were not sluts.Does that mean that ladies who appear in bad porn are sluts?

How do you distinguish good from bad?You must realise that the use of "good" to qualify your opinions allows you to say almost anything you wish and any contradictions can be answered by simply saying that they only apply to "bad" porn.

Is it true that in America no-one does it?I don't get that impression from these threads.


I dont think any woman who stars inporn is a slut.
Im sorry if my statement made you think other wise.
What I ment with my statement was that anyone who chooses the porn industry for their career probally has thought it through more then most people think.
The porn industry is a STRONG industry that withstands current economic times. It is always in demand and even the poorest of people devote a small amount of money to it.
It is job security almost abundant.
I dont blame anyone for jumping in that career..


What qualifies GOOD porn to me?
Sex that is beneficial to both actors wether fake or not.
Porn that behaves mostly the way people behave in their bed room.
Not the 1 woman to 10 men, not the all over the face ' money shots'
Those are fanciful settings and appeal to lots of people. I am not bashing that. THat just doesnt appeal to ME personally.
Sex that is realistic. Hard banging -rear end- sex is not one of those.
But- to keep this from getting shut down, and locked due to innappropriate comments.. ( Laughing ) I will have to stop there. I hope my answer makes sence for you.. heheh

It isnt true that noone has sex in america. I mean..our population almost doubles ( if noone dies ) in less then 11 months..
AMERICANS have sex Laughing they are just taught , by most of societial rules, to not disclose, not discuss, and not flaunt it.
Religion has taught shame and embarassment , and unfortunatly so have our laws.
But- that is another soap box all together..

They consider cartoons a PC version of porn and is widely acceptable.
Watch that sometimes
I will blow your frickn mind. Germans wont seem scary anymore.. Shocked

What you see is merely an electronic image.
That people are doing things you daren't do or can't do


.


isnt that the basic appeal of porn anyways?
watching people do things you can only imagine..
watching people you 'wish' you could.. err.. DO yourself?
situations and behaviors you fantasize about?
I mean.. that is what I THINK it is..
I doubt people would disagree with that... Laughing
( sorry, i didnt mean to take your words out of context. I just wanted to use them to make my point )

sw-

Thanks for all that.

I have been trying to look at this field the way I think a philosopher would look at it.What does it mean?Was the decision to open the gates to the underground taken by governments or was it forced on them by public opinion.I incline to the former view.It had been underground for a long period and against the law.Now the American films have Library of Congress numbers.Or most of them that see broadcasting light.This is tantamount to government approval.
What has changed?What considerations were taken into account?Is it in the service of changing behaviour patterns and if so what patterns are seen as being useful to engineer.Why are the arguments presented not being heeded in large areas of the world.

Wonderful exchange between Setanta and Spendius.

I recommend that iknow change his name to iwannaknow.

And I recommend that he pick up a copy of "Anatomy of Love," an anthroplogical look at love, sex, pair-bonding, divorce, throughout many cultures, throughout time, and including a comparision with other animals and their mating habits.

The Truth is Out There, my little friend.

Go seek.

Is the answer to the question "What is a woman" going to be different depending on whether the woman lives in a society producing and distributing porn or whether she lives in a society that banned Tropic of Cancer and Lady Chatterly's Lover and dished out five years for "dirty" postcard selling.

"re women sluts?
Mr wolf says -

There are no Sluts. Each person is only responible for there own sexual activities, and is detemined by there personality, personal likes and dislikes, and upbringing. It is completly subjective. As long as your not hurting anyone else in the process, all to ya."
