Second, Internet + the word “porn” equals VIEWERSHIP…

Lastly, I was merely looking for a rumored iPhone application made just for AR before IYNBF wsa created..

As far as this debate, I'm a pretty extreme Christian, though you may not know it from half of what I say and most of what I do (Forgiveness ROCKS). I do know what Jesus might say to those judging as well as to those performing, and neither case would it be “you're going to HELL”

Judging-Christians are typically bad Christians and probably know less about our Father than they think they do (I'm talking about the Self Rightious ones here). To them I say “You're doing it wrong” – plant seeds, God makes them grow.. also, casting Pearls before Swine comes to mind… and most importantly. The last thing you ever want to do is turn people AWAY from the Father, and when you go on your high horse and condemn everyone to hell if they don't do it your way you are chasing away His children… I wouldn't want to do that.

To the porns stars.. thanks – If it weren't for you we wouldn't have VHS. Also I'm pretty sure you inspired YouTube. Don't forget, Jesus saves

now where's that confounded iPhone app…

I was kind of surprised when Ms. Cummz became a recurring guest as opposed to a curiosity.

Now that the mass media has spawned the celebrities of Kim Kardasian, Paris Hilton, from their sex tapes, it's a relevant discussion.

But, what would Mrs. G think of you Alison? Really?

Seriously though…pornography seems to re-enforce racial stereotypes. Black men are portrayed in a way much different than their white counterparts. Also, asian men are largely absent from American pornography. Other than the niche oriented towards black male performers….the main narrative of pornography is white “conquest” of other races. In fact, top earning women are instructed not to perform with black males as this lowers their value to a large portion of their fans. Other girls like Taylor Rain don't have sex with black males on camera or in real life because her father gave her 'traditional' values.

Part of the racial aspect to pornography operates on the sub-conscious levels. Only astute cultural warrior-sages like myself pick up on these things

Most legal intellectuals don't see freedom of speech applying to issues of obscenity, because pornography is not political speech. Yet, with the right stalag film with the right Nazi dominatrix, and, you can mess with some sacred political archetypes.

It seems upside down to protect obscenity under free speech. yet, have a cultural climate that wants to limit extreme speech which it labels hate speech.

While people say it's protected under free speech, then, why is “extreme porn”, a la max hardcore and other unmentionables, made illegal? It seems that truly free speech would apply to their 'expression' as well. The only reason to ban extreme porn while 'protecting' free speech of non-extreme porn would be that the standard is that non-extreme porn is not obscene, and extreme porn is. But, that's not what free speechers say. They say that Obscenity itself is a protected form of free speech. Someone has to draw the line, and, and, I really don't see where free speech plays into obscenity. This is like legislating taste. I'd say a nice sin-tax is a good compromise.

The same people who want to protect the sexual nature of pornography as “free speech”, would want to put a gag order on anyone who used pornography to undermine the culurally sensitive topics like, well, anything “hate mongers” target – non-whites, feminists, gays, jews, israel, zionism, etc.

I mean, do you really support pornography as political speech? Would i theoretically be able to make an anti-Zionist political message by staging a scene of rape of palestinian women by Israeli men? Most would say this is anti-semitic hate speech,….yet, if that's not tolerated, than, is speech really free?

In a somewhat related news story how pornography is used as a weapon of warfare.

http://reason.com/archives/2002/04/03/porn-and-... – details how Israeli soldiers occupied Ramallah and broadcast pornography on Palestinian TV as an element in psychological warfare to pacify them and / or disrupt their morality. We also use pornography and sexual forms of “enhanced interrogation” on our detainees.

If you really want to talk about a controversial topic that will drive ALL types of traffic to your site, you might want to consider taking a position on, or having some guests that have stated positions on Zionism.

p.s. – “so long as no one’s being hurt or mistreated” – This argument holds no water. No one is allowed to create computer-generated or cartoon / anime pornography depicting children having sex with each other, or with adults. Yet, no one is being harmed when someone draws the cartoons or makes a computer animation. So…this argument holds no water based on current legal precident.

That is why it is such a huge industry because “everyone” indulges in it.Lawyers,doctors,Plumbers,the guy waiting on you at your version of the Quickmart.

99.9% of people reading,watching,or looking at it go about their lives with no adverse effects,but just like with anything else involving stimulation the .1% get all the headlines and many times such stimulus as games,porn,books,you name it had zero to do with their crimes.

There are troubled people.These people will always do things out of the ordinary no matter what outside influence they are exposed to..and there are thosee always willing to believe that is the case.

There is nothing wrong with porn,or for that,watching a football game,or playing softball,or watching youtube..People searching for outside stimuli because,well,thats what we do to make it through the day.
