The burden of proof is not on me Robyn as I did not make the claims. And I see you're still not done. I'm over you.

I will say this and it may blow up or blow over but I used to watch porn, like it whatever, use it (?!) you know what I mean and then something occurred to me. As I watched on TV more and more children get abducted and more and more children, and even babies, get victimized by someone's sick sexual desires I couldn't separate the two in my brain anymore. I couldn't justify there being different levels or interest... It just is what it is... A way to sexually excite ourselves and it's the same vehicle, IMO, that leads to peoples out of control sexual impulses that victimize others. Like I said I kinda evolved to this train of thought over time... But now I can't look at it wo thinking that I am in someway supporting an industry that is causing sexual violence against children and women. I can't think of anything more soul stealing, more awful and I can't even for a min, even if it's not directly related, let myself participate. The fun is gone, I don't want to read about anyone's babies being abducted and raped and killed and I can't support something that I think contributes to it. Maybe this is an UO or maybe you'll agree but that's where I'm at... I'm not judging at all bc this is a recent thing for me but I decided to share while we were kinda on the topic.

NO. NO.

Porn does NOT cause rape. It does not cause sexual abuse or pedophilia.

Rape is not about sex it is about POWER. Its almost unbelievably offensive to say that watching paid porn actresses get 'the money shot' encourages people to go out and rape children. That's extremely hurtful to me both as a lover of porn and as the victim of child rape.

I'm sorry but this is a super sensitive topic and you really need to back the fuck up.

This. While I agree that the porn industry most likely attracts a certain type of person to employ as an actor, it definitely does not cause rape or pedophilia. My step-dad didn't do what he did to me bc he and my mom subscribed to the Playboy channel. He did it bc he had some serious control issues and was attracted to young girls for whatever fucked up reason.

Reading this thread was really intense. Normally I'd be all up in here but lately I've not had the energy. So I'm late, but fabulous, to this thread. Here are my thoughts...

I'm pro-choice all the way.

I have no problem with porn as long as both people in the relationship are on board. I've been a judgey bitch about folks that view it as cheating, but have since amended my belief on that.

I don't think the more conservative members of the board are bigots. I just think that there are a lot of portions of the believe system common to many republicans have the ability to seriously wound others emotionally. I'm not sure any of the liberal platform stance on the issues has that same ability. I might be wrong but that could be the reason a lot of the negative connations arise.

My only issue (well not only bit others have addressed my other problems more eloquently)with this thread was this statement: @sassy1ja :
" I come from a very strict religious family and have gotten in many fights over gay rights. I just don't get it. I see no reason they shouldn't be afforded the same rights as us."

I'm not trying to be a flaming whore about this, but why don't LBGTQ folks deserve the same basic rights as the rest of us straight folks?

Last I checked the human rights bit didn't have any limitations on the right to the pursuit of happiness? I find this belief and lack of empathy to be very disheartening.

It's not a choice. You love who you love & why should that deny you marriage, children, the right to be by your partner's bedside if they are very ill? I'm absolutely sure Jesus, God & the Holy Ghost commanded that we love each other, yes? So I see giving basic rights to LGBTQ folks as the ultimate expression of that commandment.

There was no stipulation. It is simply "love thy neighbor". So I'm doing that. God can sort out the rest. After all I'm only human & he's all omnipotent & shit.

I'm a Christian and know for a fact that gay marriage & love do not mock, or affect the quality of my marriage whatsoever. Let it be man.

This is interesting to me...you don't see the connection? It's like pouring gas on a fire. You can defiantly be high on porn. I'm not kidding. But in the theme if this thread, no disrespect to those who disagree. I've had my life experiences and that's my thought process on it.

I can see how someone may think there's a connection, but no, I don't think there is one. You're talking about 2 different things: sex and power. I think viewing child porn can contribute to the sexual abuse of a kid, but the predisposition for violence is already there.

I'm going to step away from this thread now, but it's not bc I am angry. Sometimes, when I talk about my abuse, it brings back a whole flood of emotions and I go to a really dark place. Talking about this is emotionally overwhelming for me and I need to stop.

I heart Ann Coulter so much. She's like the best, smartest troll ever.

Omg AC?! Where? Nooooo! That lady makes me cringe. The weird thing is I read her articles regularly just to see how inflammatory she gets. The woman has this ability to press buttons.

Heeeeeeeeeey!

@etoille : I'm actually flipping shit because my Dad's landlord just decided that all the shit in the house has to be out by the 7th. I have no idea if Dad's partner got 30 days notice already & just didn't notify us.

Fuck, I don't know if the power is even still on. I just got this bomb dropped on me at midnight. Dad's partner is useless as tits on a male hog because he's in the hospital after his toe got infected. They had to amputate the toe.

I might sound like an unfeeling bitch, but I need him to get his stuff out of the house ASAP. He's had since Dad died (he left the same night (10/16).

So I feel like a man on fire with no one to put me out. Just flailing like an idiot an idiot pissing in the wind.

Impromptu road trip with the kids. They are going to hang at my uncle's house while we take care of this phenomenal cluster. Did I mention the house is a damn biohazard?

Ahhhhhhhhh! Will the shit stop raining down on me?!

After all the reference to this on FFFC, I just went through and read all 12 pages. Wow....I learned quite a bit. @prim.... there's gotta be great things coming to you. You've had a rough run lately.

My UO (not sure if this is U or not): I think kids who take the whole bucket when it says 'just take one' missed a major life lesson and it speaks volumes to how they were raised. I never would have considered doing this as a kid because I was raised to be considerate of the other kids coming. We are leaving our house tonight with a bowl of candy out and I'm really afraid this will happen..

I agree. We have this jackass of a lady that lives in our neighborhood and her kids just did this the other night during trick or treat. Knowing her, she probably encouraged her kids to do it. Ugh. Can you tell I don't like this chick?

I know I am super late on this, but this pisses me off as well. I actually watched kids do it this past Thursday. LO started to get fussy so I put a note on the door that said "please do not knock" and left a bowl outside. I put handfuls at a time so I could intermittently check and so that someone wouldn't take it all. I checked at one point and there were 6 pieces left. Right after I closed the door, I heard a boy approach. I opened the door right as he was leaving and the little fucker took all 6 pieces.
