Well, there are two things that all this presumes which I feel aren't correct. 1. All porn is the same. No. There are a lot of subtile differences between the good and bad stuff. Good porn celebrates the human body as a work of art and/or the human sex act as a wonderful consumation of love. Love is consentual, and both parties are concerned about each other's pleasure. After the act, the partners continue to care about each other, share feelings, etc. Bad porn often is not consentual, has one partner dominating the other, neither partner is concerned about the other's pleasure and nowhere is love involved. Afterwards, one partner usually leaves the other, often in a state of emotional distress. Almost all BDSM stuff falls into the latter category. 2. Once a child sees porn, that child is automatically on the road to ruin. I can't buy that. First of all, should a child see porn, everything should be explained to him/her immediately, and the child should be allowed to express his/her feelings and thoughts about it. If a child knows that s/he shouldn't be doing this until s/he reaches the age of consent, the amount of damage is reduced. However, a lot of this depends on the child's level of emotional development. There are adults not ready to learn about sex, and five-year-olds who can handle the knowlege without any problem. However, parents tend not to be up front with children about things. The old thing about "the stork brought you" to cover up the truth can only make things worse later on. I was one of those children that was told "the stork brought you" until I was 11. I found some porn in the street. After getting a thurough whipping, I was told not to think about such things ever again, if I knew what was good for me. A lot of good it did. I ended up a porn junkie anyway.

The rules for this one are simple. A word (or string of letters) is made and the next poster trys to come up with a phrase that the word is an acronym for. Example: F A R Forever and Always Redheads The next poster leaves a word (or string of letters) for the next poster to do. Starting us off... I W S N

With all the rain we've had around here, not guilty. G/NG: Has at least one free MP3 from a band's website.

^ Swims quite well, thank you. < Took lessons in swimming for many years, and even earned a merit badge for swimming in the boy scouts. < Ironically, scouting is where < met the worst people in <'s life. V Not surprised that < was a scout.

I have. Two that come to mind are Monty Python's Flying Circus and Mystery Science Theater 3000. I have never... had my VCR (or tivo) set to record a show every time it aired since MST3K ended.

... you've got to be on your guard around them. Around here, we're safe because...

Nah, they're out in the barn getting fed. But where did the platypuses go?

You people seem to confuse us Texans a lot. I'll make it simple here. Leon is the hot redheaded babe. I'm the guy with the moustache. Clear now? Red?

I guess I am. Who spilled this grape juice all over the floor?

Not guilty. I'd like one, though... G/NG: Would like to be my fuck buddy.

It's the other drowing person. Leon?

^ Understands ^'s not wanting rain. < Would like to send ^ some of <'s rain, even though we still need it... (local lakes still down an average of 3 feet (1m.) V Local lakes not as far down.

They're just curious. Of course, it's been theorized that children are genetically programmed to disobey. Why is not clear. I have never... shown adult material to a minor.

Story here Gives new meaning to the term "handy," doesn't it? Well, that does explain things... I have to wonder how this will affect the kids... "Daddy, what kind of cat are they talking about when they say pussy?"

Story here So if you want to help the environment, get drunk! Whoo-hoo! Drunk microbes! I'm sure everyone is ready to sign up for this...

Happy birthday Adara. So does this mean we should invent an air-conditioned condom? In my experience at the DVS in Dallas, most births tend to occur in November and December. So this really means that condoms aren't used the most in February and March...

are you on: pirates or ninjas? I'm on the side of..

Well, if I knew what you were talking about, I probably would agree. Why does this conversation make me feel old?

Why do you let daddy go to that porno club once a month? AH! RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!

It keeps them in the tabloids. They crave attention. The best thing to do, IMO, is ignore them. I have never... subscribed to a tabloid.
