Economic Left/Right: -3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.74
Seems fairly moderate to me.

Here's something for you to study, dipshit: The corruption of one Bill Clinton. If you think I'd vote for McCain you are badly mistaken. So Hillary is for banning sexual acts in a video game. I would have never thought.  How unexpectedly noble to take such a hardline stance. I suppose you think Marilyn Manson is the centerpiece of this notion that not all vulgar and amoral people vote for the Dems. I propose an exercise for you. Do some homework yourself and see how awfully many pornstars vote Republican. Go to that place in town where it's obvious that you can buy crack at any given moment. Start talking about how much you love George Bush and see if get out without your tires being shot out. Ask a crackhead who he would vote for. Go to a stripclub and see if you can find a conservative stripper. I betcha can find an article about one that you can post right after this but why don't you find one yourself? I've always thought of you as misguided, shin, but I'm beginning to believe that your nothing but an asshole. Anyway, to Mary's question: Anyway, here's an honest question: what precisely is the terrible impact which you are afraid that pornography will have on a child? Let's say an 8 year old somehow gets a hold of Penthouse and flips through it. What's going to happen to him?My reflex answer here is that his fragile, 8 year old mind is going to be shattered into a million pieces. Of course, I'm talking spiritualy here which we KNOW is prone to dogmatic reasoning that this world would be a whole helluva lot better without, eh? I'm not going to pretend to know everything there is to know but my guess would be that this child would become very confused. A similar question in my book is,"How would an 8 year old be affected if someone slipped some LSD into their Koolaid?" The world wouldn't end and hell, there might even be some scholar from Berkelely that can prove that tripping acid actually HELPS a child psychologically. Children are innocent. "Adult" content, I would think, is very unnerving to a child. I brought this up a looong time ago and was mocked for it, but when I picked up a Playboy I found down by the lake over by the house I was raised at, I felt scarred. Since no adult is actually touching me or having their way with me at the time does that mean that I'm not affected by the vulgarity? An eight year old mind doesn't know how to process all that crap. But I sense that what you're getting at is what effects would give substantial evidence that pornography should be outlawed. Minus a spiritual sense of a "higher power" there is absolutely NO explaining this to you: the importance, that is, of keeping stuff like this away from children. Of course, time will pass and perversion will become a non-issue to the average 8 year old as he grows older. The increasingly perverted society will cause him to completely forget the spiritual purity he had at one time. And then there's Rit. Despite what it may appear to you, and I certainly wasn't aware that I came across as someone on a mission to save the world. The Titanic is sinking. It's a done deal. This world is passing away. I have no hope in the USA, or any political kingdom for that matter. If my treasures were on this earth, I'd be one terrified dude. From time to time, I like to eavesdrop on the wisdom of this world which is so futile before a perfect God. Humanity cannot be saved because it will not be saved. This is something I have come to accept. It just boggles my mind that a scholar or a rocket scientist can miss what a child can see: the reality of God. In a sense, I've given up. Not in the bad kind of way but in the right way. I've given up on believing that everyone can be reasoned with. I've come to accept that some people are so spiritually blind that you can raise the dead, make the lame walk, make the blind see etc. etc and they still won't believe. |

Not enough paragraphs there either. Riley's on to something.

I think I've figured out how to handle these boards. I think I've found a cure to CE burnout. If anyone else is feeling it too, try this ... Any time that the very first sentence in a post begins with an insult, skip the entire post. it makes the board a lot less time consuming, but what you end up reading usually turns out to be very interesting.  |

You have to watch out for the inpost insults, though. Those are the ones that get you.

Indeed, medical science has come a long way
since the days of leeches and blood letting ...

Melon, you really should stop reading
the David Horowitz(sp?)rhetorics for a while ...
Maybe even go to a few clubs looking
for that conservative stripper yourself ...
You may find out the world is not perfect
but it's still worth having a life !!

Why of course it is. FYI, I haven't read any Horowitz in over a year. But the fact of the matter is that Jesus IS life. So without him you have some kind of counterfeit.

Here's a conservative stripper/porn star, Melon. She's quite high profile, and she's a guest to a Republican fundraiser of all things. Is this the sort of message you want Bush giving to little girls? Become a porn star and you too can become a Republican candidate and a good American? worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=44671But what difference does it make anyway. You couldn't give a flying fuck about real life, all that matters is your own delusions of grandeur. You advocate no sense of personal responsibility, you're who only knows how old and you're fixated on what happened to you when you were 8 and you saw a Playboy. Are you kidding me? Your life was ruined because you saw a Playboy magazine, one of the most tame pornographic magazines there is? Thank god you didn't see a Hustler. Thank god you didn't see a Butt Slutts 9 video. Thank god you didn't walk in on your parents. Thank god you didn't walk in on your grandparents. Thank god you didn't walk in on your grandparents and your parents. Thank god you didn't walk in on your grandparents and your parents and a Shetland pony. But no, somehow Playboy magazine, which shows nothing but tits, something an 8 year old is not that far removed from being accustomed to see, has scarred you into becoming the closet S&M deviant you are today. But here's a thought. You are who you are, and you can spend your life blaming the "left" for your own sins, as if somehow Playboy magazine is the sole fault of the "left" in this country, as if if it hadn't been for pornography you'd have been free from trauma you're entire life, or you can step back from this spiritual narcissism scumpond you swim in, and get over yourself. It's not Larry Flynt's fault you're unbalanced. And while you lecture on how Bill Clinton is so corrupt that he changed the entire political landscape, I'd like to point out to you that Richard Nixon ordered the firebombing of the Brookings Institute a full 20 years before Clinton took national office. |

Hey, melon did you know alot of hardcore and street punks are conservatives? One of the rock bars around here will score any band that plays there an eight ball and everyone of them voted republican. The Misfits, The Ramones and many others, all republicans. As a matter of fact I do know two strippers who voted for Bush both times and would gladly do so again...they can also tell you where to buy the good crack. In fact I saw a study about cocaine being a largely up scale conservative drug. The left certainly doesn't have any sort of lock of deprevaity. We've talked about how dumbshit the arguement about the right having some sort of claim on god a morals is til we're blue in the face...

Unless we are taking crazy pills, we should not consider Tom Delay, Strum Thurmond, Pat Robertson, Karl Rove, or Newt Gingrich as ethical simply because they are members of a specific party.

This should go without saying, of course. Normally, this is the kind of thing I would deride, but I am trying to take it easy, and have a regular "discussion."

Melon, if the world is so depraved (and, by extension, so are the liberals in this board) why surround yourself by sin? Would you not be better served away from it all?
