Yeah, I think most campaign finance reform legislation would be dead in the water...because it would have to be crafted by the very people who spend most of their careers campaigning! If anything we have loosened the process, most recently with the supreme court's decision over political donations in Citizens United v. FEC, which allows corporations a lot more freedom in donating money to candidates. It seems the theory of the court (and Citizens United who won the case) is that campaign finance laws unconstitutionally limit free speech, even when it comes to large corporations. Hey, where are these people when it comes defending icky issues like porn as forms of 'free speech'?  Hypocritical dicks.I've actually heard this decision could end up hurting corporations who are not careful when donating to certain politicians, at least if the donations are made public. This summer Target and Best Buy were in some hot water over donating money to a republican candidate running for governor of Minnesota, over the views he holds against legalizing gay marriage in the state. The companies claimed they supported him for his economic policies, not his social ones, but intent doesn't mean much when people get offended. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

You guys are lucky, our presidential campaigns start and a year and a half before the election takes place, if not earlier. I remember already hearing last year about people who were "thinking of 2012." (And not that Mayan calendar nonsense.)  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I hope you're not calling me fascist. Even when it comes to porn I try to be quite democratic--'for' and 'of the people' indeed!No, not all Christians (or religious people) are right-wingers, in fact there is a whole Christian left, though it's not quite as powerful, probably because it's more about social causes than political causes. But it's hilarious how so many of those family values crowds talk so much and so passionately about porn...sounds kinda like us!
And like rock'n'roll, assuming there's a hell, it's going there, and that's where I would prefer to go too! What's a little fire and brimstone when you get to watch all the hot girls knocking booties while listening to all the good music?  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Before this post gets too out of hand I should add that the Supreme Court overturned under-18 capital offenses in 2005, with Roper v. Simmons that made executing offenders who were under 18 at the time of the crime unconstitutional, previously it had been the ripe old age of 16 (oh, the trouble we get into when we're 15!). Not to sound like a stubborn asshole but when you have to be at least 18 to vote, and 21 just to drink, the argument for executing someone under 18 sounds like nonsense. I try to look at all sides in issues, but not here, sorry.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Income and wealth inequality in the U.S. is pretty insane--the top 10% or so possessing 90% of the wealth, with the bottom 90% fighting over the remaining 10% of wealth. That's not exactly something to be proud of (unless you're in that top 10% of 'earners', in which case pride is probably a virtue). Or Warren Buffett complaining a few years ago about paying a smaller income tax rate than his secretary--what the hell does that say about this country (besides don't be a secretary)? He probably pays a lot of capital gains taxes and writes a larger overall check for income taxes, but the percentage differences seemed to be skewed towards easing the burdens on those with the Scrooge fortunes. I bet a lot of these guys (and gals, if there are any) would defend paying at lower rates because of their donations to charity though these arguably do nothing for the economy.

 I hope you're not being too serious. Eight years is plenty for the vast majority of these jackasses we find to run things, not even counting the full ten they are eligible to serve in the case of presidential succession (vice president for at least half of one term --> succeeds president for remainder of term --> reelected to two full terms). I don't think you have to look very far back in history to think of at least one glaring example (Uh oh! I'm bad mouthing Bush!). I think there is a fairly large percentage of the people--not active voters, that's a different group--who would not have wanted that fucking idiot to serve for even eight seconds much less eight years. And you could find similar groups for Clinton, and Reagan, and maybe even Eisenhower, though not as many of his voters still around I'm guessing. One of the founding ideas of the U.S. is not to be ruled by a king, and thus limit consolidation and excesses of power, such as in term limits and checks and balances (in theory). The idea of a term-limitless executive leader would probably make plenty wet their pants, but for different reasons. The U.S. president may not have nearly as much power as imagined but it's still plenty and that endearing term 'leader of the free world' isn't just for shits and giggles. But I do understand your main point that there are some problems that take way more than two terms to address, in fact nearly all problems take decades to fix because they are so serious and complex. I would think that the majority party in the senate and in the house of congress could make more changes than the president alone, but that doesn't always happen, and sweeping legislation is not that easy without controlling the White House too. Hell, even when it's one ruling party for both branches it's no guarantee of getting anything passed. The bigger problem may be the collective unwillingness to try and think anything out that far ahead. We want instant results, not this 'it will take time' bullshit. And the future can be hard to predict when everyone's working in different directions. A couple of good examples are Medicare (limited health care for old and disabled) and Social Security (limited pay for the same groups) which may not even exist when I reach their current eligibility age. They'll probably be tall tales to entertain my grandchildren! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Certainly not--if anything we've only increased and strengthened our sleaziness in ways never before thought possible. Take Chat Roulette, for example. I mean before if you wanted to watch a bunch of guys masturbate you'd probably have to plan and organize meetings and where to watch each other--in other words a lot more work than just buying a full length mirror and a comfortable chair. But now you have a website to fulfill all your digitized mutual masturbatory needs without even leaving your home office!  What has media and communication technology done for us lately that makes us think anything more beyond "Uh, but what about porn? When, where, how, and what'll it cost, 'cause I have needs! So figure out how it'll apply to porn or start working on something else!"  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I really hope cops don't care that much about underage tattooing when people are doing far worse things with fake IDs (and no I'm not talking about buying beer). Of course America seems to have an obsession with protecting the young and 'innocent' until, well, damn near people's whole lives if possible, yet there are districts that have tried teens (under 18 ones) as adults and even attempted to put some of them on death row! Something not quite right about that to me. In my experience I've known many more people who have gotten piercings before turning 18 without a parent's/guardian's consent, though that may vary widely by state or city compared to tattooing. And as unique as some piercings get they are not very permanent when compared to tattoos, brands, etc. And I understand why quite at few PU'ers don't like the tattoos but I doubt anyone could ever really argue body piercings are 'art' in the same way tattoos are. A well done tattoo in an appropriate spot can look way better than a well-polished piece of metal, in my opinion. At least until they come up with some super alloy or discover some kind of new diamond to use in piercings. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Hey, you don't have to feel too bad--you're in Canada. We have to be put up with this nonsense day in, day out, for four years at a stretch! I think comedian Lewis Black summed up the U.S.'s two party system best when he said, "it's a bowl of shit looking in the mirror at itself." He also said the only difference between the two bowls of shit (the two parties) is the smell.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Actually considering that it was only a year ago that gun nuts-I mean defenders of the 2nd Amendment started showing up armed at rallies where the president spoke this probably doesn't worry the Secret Service that much. I'd imagine that the Secret Service would thoroughly 'question' Mr. David (the billionaire) about his involvement after the streaking. I personally have too many self confidence issues to even streak alone on a deserted island, much less in front of the hundreds of cameras around the presidential entourage. Besides you won't even be a millionaire after taxes are collected--though what the tax rate is on rich douche bag streaking dares I can only imagine. A word of caution; there's no constitutional right to have children or even the ability to have children, and running naked around jittery security people might earn you a swift kick to the groin!

 Not that you're comparing women to cars or anything like that... I don't really understand the hyped appeal of virgins, unless you're one yourself. Even then it's probably not ideal, more like doubly awkward or however many people are involved. It's like learning to drive from someone who's never driven before (uh oh, another car analogy). While I would probably be suspicious if a woman was vastly more experienced than me--though I'm no Casanova, so I shouldn't rule it out--I'm really not sure how comfortable I'd be in a relationship with or marrying a virgin. Prudishness doesn't sound all that attractive nor fun. Of course it could just be that she's a shy girl but still very comfortable with her body and a fearlessly dedicated masturbator, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that!  I'm sure there are more than a few here at PU who would totally take advantage of marrying a virgin. "Honey, trust me: all women normally start with anal. And for the last time; no, that camera is not on!" "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

Yeah, "true love" of a healthy bank account or a nice home. You know--the institution of marriage! I wonder if they could create a prenuptial agreement whereby in the event of divorce the husband has to reimburse the wife for her surgery since it was his dumb-ass that cared so much about it.

There's at least one site, Defloration.tv, that is devoted to the act of breaking the hymen, though it appears to be entirely faked, but without the use of surgery. Drooler wrote a hilarious review earlier this year that sort of sums up the silliness of the notion that these sites actually possess virginal girls. A real virginal site would probably not be a very pleasant thing to watch. I imagine something along the lines of a model fairly new to the business going in to do a Max Hardcore shoot. Sure she is all smiles and giggles when it starts but before long she is crying, weeping, and pleading for it to stop. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Oh no doubt; the West and America in particular probably have the world beat when it comes to genital vanity. The idea of a re-"virgining" is probably just one of the most ridiculous. Not only is it temporary (at least I think it would be) but seems to be the least beneficial for the person going under the knife. I mean would a woman really care to lose her virginity multiple times? Or does she even care that much about the 'looks' of her hymen? The fact that these types of rejuvenation surgery find a market wherever there is money--not too mention the minimal lack of self-confidence--says a lot about human nature and what people are willing to do to their own bodies.

Knowing cultural view of virginity, Chinese women try surgical restoration This is a pretty interesting article I just found about the growing popularity of hymen restoration surgery among sexually active women in China who want to please their husbands' fantasies of marrying a virgin. It raises quite a few questions about culture and self-image, not to mention what one might interpret as a slavish devotion to pleasing a partner--in this case male ones--when it comes to marriage. A gynecologist interviewed for the article, who they say, "restores as many as 20 hymens a month," illustrates what I think is the big problem with resorting to plastic surgery, saying that " 'I don't agree with this value' placed on virginity, [the doctor] said. 'It's unfair to the women. The men are not virgins. But we can't change this male-privileged society.' " Not with that attitude you can't, and certainly not by contributing to the problem by performing the surgeries that women apparently feel are necessary to please their new husbands on their wedding nights. Call me old fashioned, but whatever happened to accepting and loving someone for who he or she is, not the 'status' of one's virginity? Oh wait, this is marriage we're talking about, love has nothing to do with it, certainly not when the unquestionable bedrock of 'tradition' is at stake. Okay, so I'm not exactly the most idealistic person with whom to discuss marriage or 'love' (interestingly, the word love is never used in the article), but I do not think grown women need to bend over backwards, much less get hymenally 'rejuvenated,' for the purposes of pleasing others, especially hypocritical fiancés and husbands obsessed with outdated myths of marital purity. One guy even compares women to cell phones, saying "If you go to buy a cellphone, of course you'd want to buy a new cellphone. Who would spend the same amount of money to buy an old cellphone that's been used for two years?" And just like buying a cell phone, one should compare rates and plans for the best deal, remembering to always pay the monthly bill of course. Or would that be a divorce settlement?  Maybe I'm just way out of line with this thread; I'm not a doctor (boy, I hope that's obvious to regular members by now), Chinese, a virgin, nor am I interested in getting married anytime soon, or even going near a wedding for that matter, what with my cheery outlook and all. Maybe I'm ignorant of another society, but I don't think cultures should be subject to the whims of elective surgical technology. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I also saw an article mentioning the same thing--it seemed to Van Damme that it was an offer of serious money over any sort of serious role. But then the article also said this attitude doesn't explain Van Damme's 2009 film, "Universal Soldier: Regeneration" (which also stars Dolph Lundgren). There's always room for sequels of course.

I have to admit I have seen Showgirls, but it is pretty bad. I guess there is some sort of so-bad-it's-good cult appeal but all I could think was .Watching it made me think that never before had so much good nudity been wasted for so little payoff. Legendary in its shitty reputation I think it could be a while before the stars align again to make such an incredible bomb possible. The problem is that no one can ever really try to make a bomb, it seems to be a purely natural process. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think fast Internet service is like a hard addictive drug that you can't kick or even cut down on. Once you have a little, you need more, then more, and so on.

I just watched the trailer--it looks like a tidal wave of testosterone that fortunately doesn't take itself too seriously. More of a star vehicle for aging action heavyweights who would probably do well to take it out of overdrive every so often. But it's directed by and stars Sylvester Stallone, not to mention Bruce Willis, Jason Straitham, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin, Jet Li, and apparently even has a role with your governor! Only in America. (It seems like Jean Claude Van Damme would have fit right into this movie as well.) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I believe that those who are the most vocally opposed to things like porn, sexuality, or basically anything they deem 'sinful' and/or 'immoral' are usually the ones hiding the deepest darkest secrets (though by this logic it would mean I am secretly a devout Christian  ). Seriously, how many ultra-moral self-appointed do-gooders have been revealed to actually be closeted gays, frauds, crooks, liars, charlatans, and just plain hypocrites? The list is endless, and instead of just taking a live-and-let-live philosophy people are afraid of their own personal feelings and beliefs and rally against them publicly.The Internet is still the go-to place for most people's secret fantasies and hobbies, which makes sense because the 'net really isn't anything tangible in the physical sense like DVDs, magazines, and 'devices' are. I think most users are aware that something, somewhere is tracking what they do but they just don't care because of a largely false sense of anonymity. I can only begin to imagine what I would say if I had to explain my Internet history over the years! Is it possible to plead nolo contendre to an accusing spouse or partner?

I bitch and moan endlessly about living in a suburban area but the one benefit is usually a host of Internet options with fairly decent pricing, even for the heavier, badandy400-type dedicated downloaders among us. I currently use a cable modem (shares a line with the TV but it's a different bill) and am not even on the ISP's fastest, most expensive plan--yet I have never experienced intolerably low speeds. I would like believe that I am not such a slave to technology that I could not live without a decent web connection, but I recently read an article about the trouble of keeping younger newer doctors practicing in small towns because of things like little to no Internet and weak cell phone service.

Man, ever since you wrote "see, 'boutiques' makes it sound so much nicer!" I've been laughing my way through this entire thread. I can only imagine going sex toy/adult device shopping with a girlfriend; she convinces me to buy the smaller hand-held device over the full Ashley Blue fantasy puss-and-bum latex/silicone self-pleasure sculpture (I guess she's a frugal girl), and then I spend the rest of the time trying to talk her into buying the meanest, baddest, most aggressive looking butt plug they sell. Knowing my luck I would finally get her to buy it only as soon as we get home the first thing she says to me is "Well, you talked me into it, so you get to take the first turn. Bend over."  Be careful what you wish for when buying sex toys! Actually a funny (and true) story about an adult boutique shop I was at in Germany is the shop offered free gift wrapping. Are you kidding me? I had to buy something just to watch the pretty cashier wrap it up for me. I of course ended up buying some unapologetically filthy looking pissing DVD--probably erasing all doubt as to whether or not I indeed did have a few screws loose--and happily watched her gift wrap it in a Christmas-themed paper (I think it was early December). She wrapped it quite well and was a very nice and friendly saleswoman so I definitely give the store credit for being so friendly to its customer base (even the base ones like me ). I'm not even sure I would be treated that respectfully in non-adult boutiques, let alone most adult ones. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'll stick up for parodies a little in that I find the whole concept and their intent pretty amusing even if the final product is usually, well, a little flaccid for porn's true 'purpose.' Me personally I am not big on what's hot and popular in the mainstream media world, whether it involves television, film, or even politics. There's certainly nothing wrong with these things; people can have their cults of personality and bandwagons and fifteen minutes all they want--I'm just not going to be joining them. So whenever some new film or TV show or just general news item hits it big I patiently await the porn overlords to bring the egos and overnight successes crashing back down to earth with the concept that it's only natural to turn any story or real life event into a hardcore sex act. Now again the results are usually quickly thrown together with either too much or not enough going into the concept of the porn being a parody. But the creativity of the titles and just hearing the news "A triple-X parody has been produced of..." puts a smile on my face every time. Ah, thank you, America! A couple of (somewhat) recent ones I can recall off the top of my head--well at least what they were parodying, not the exact titles--include one made about Sarah Palin after she had been nominated in August 2008 but before the election in November. I am pretty sure it was Nailin' Palin, and I guess it just hit off the fact that so many were dumbfounded (literally as I remember) by her looks. The only natural thing to do was porn-ify it. I also recently remember hearing for one parodying Avatar, and the title might just have been Avatar XXX, but again I'm not too sure. This one made perfect sense to me; the whole time I was watching Avatar I kept thinking All this CGI and they couldn't squeeze one hardcore sex scene in it? Seriously, not even a couple of fully nude scenes? Oh well, Porn Valley will take care of that. I say even if they don't sell all that well or even accurately portray things they are parodying if they at least bring a smile to peoples' faces then they should keep making them.

I have to agree with Drooler here; what a bunch of assholes!  Whatever happened to "The customer is always right"? When did it turn into "Hey, customer, pay up or go fuck yourself." As bad as it sounds if the major banks collapsed (or at least the ones that got the ol' bailout treatment), many personal financial accounts in the U.S. are insured to $100K by the federal government so people wouldn't exactly lose every penny overnight though the economic shitstorm would surely strengthen. But I need my por-I mean my Internet and I would really love to pay less on the monthly bill over not having to witness a collapse of banks, so call me crazy. (Besides those banks are run by the übergreedy whom I despise, so fuck 'em.) But I would love even more to have Canadian-style health care over a lower 'net or phone bill or economic stability. I mean I am willing to bet having Internet porn is good for my psychological health, at least somewhat because I swear has it has kept my head from exploding on more than one occasion, but I don't think it could cure cancer or fix a fracture so a single payer health care system (not a medical industrial complex) would be even better. But then everyone's stress levels would skyrocket because of expensive Internet and imploding financial institutions.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

So it was books all along! I should have known; once I had learned to read it would only be a matter of time until I devolved into a wrist-straining miscreant!  Now I barely have the time to keep a book in my hands because they are so intimately preoccupied with other tasks. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

 I guess it could be upscale if there were a lot of helpful salespeople to assist you in selecting the 'right' product, though I am not sure I want to know what the sex shop/adult boutique equivalent is of the sales lady spraying perfume in your face when you walk by her counter.

"Boutiques"--I love that! Maybe that's why they are so expensive, or it is more of an upscale boutique, sort of like comparing Macy's to Wal-Mart. But that is a lot of money for a DVD.

Yeah, I sort of figured it had something to do with you guys up north--always causing some trouble, eh? I doubt Spanish would be officiated as a language in the U.S. anytime soon though, no matter what percentage of the speakers make up the population. Our political leaders' stubborn (not to mention blatantly racist) approach to anything that even hints at being foreign is not exactly a warm greeting with open arms. Hell, many Americans still struggle communicating in just English (me no speak English good sometimes too ), so having to deal with even more exposure to some "foreigner's speak" would probably drive them over the edge.

Good question. Maybe French speakers are rabid film fans and constitute a big DVD market? Ethnocentrism by the film industry? I really don't know. Hmm, maybe a conspiracy of an unknown French speaking cabal of film buffs? It's all making sense now... "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I have always found it interesting how people adapt and change accents for what they perceive to be a professional or social benefit. A couple of famous examples are former president George W. Bush adapting somewhat of a Texan accent despite being born in Connecticut (he's the only one in his family who is publicly known to speak like that), and late night comedian Stephen Colbert, who was born and raised in South Carolina but purposely lost his accent because he it saw it as a stereotype in film and television of slow and stupid characters. Personally I can't imagine either of them speaking in any other accent.
I think there are some language boards in western Europe that convene semi-regularly to decide acceptable words and usage, though what their exact purpose is I can only imagine. Maybe an authority on certain language texts and reference materials? You can't really dictate to people how they are supposed to speak, at least not in personal conversation.

Culture and language are closely related so American English being the "preferred" language of much of the Internet already presents a culture clash. If people are encouraged to use a language other than their native tongue then they are already under pressure to cast off a part of their culture just to communicate. But even if clashes don't occur over languages then they surely will over something else; religion, family, politics, you name it. As I see it, the great double-edged sword of the web is that exposes people to some of the strongest and most extremes voices and views in the world. While there certainly was no PU prior to the Internet, I am betting that majority of us have seen what we personally view as the hardest and most vile porn thanks to the Internet. Likewise those with other (i.e. non-porn) interests have been able to meet people with similar tastes and beliefs, while also exposing them to extreme elements. The problem I see is that the web provides a false sense of experience in that none of us are really communicating and interacting with one another in person in the same place. It's all virtual and yes it's accelerating rapidly. Just watch how every big news story now takes off like a rocket through every nook and cranny of the 'net in the matter of a few hours, if even that. But if it turns out to be false, suddenly it's too late to correct the mistake. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Why shouldn't you? Does a lawyer require different forms of speech than a plumber? I wouldn't expect plumber-client privilege to be the same as attorney-client privilege--in other words, don't admit to your plumber you killed your wife, hacked up her corpse and fed it down the disposal he's now fixing--but that doesn't mean you can't address two adults in basically the same manner. But if your lawyer has plumber's crack than you may need to use different speech, and find representation with better fitting trousers. I'd expect different forms of relationships to require different forms of speaking. For example, you don't speak to your lover the way you speak to your parents (at least in certain situations...) nor do you address your boss the same way you address your drinking buddies (unless your boss is a drinking buddy, in which case go nuts). It may not even be the way you speak that differs, simply what you say that changes. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

It seems like I am the youngest to respond to this thread (thus far) so I'll stick up for "my" generation a little. We're not illiterate, just differently literate--as in text, e-mail, Facebook, and, yes, even Twitter--but we can still form a sentence and read a book with the best of them, damn it! It's just that if don't have to then we generally choose not to... I agree with Drooler in that text speak should be left to texting. If you only have a 140 characters to work with then it makes sense to break down the language. But if you're writing an e-mail I would expect at least a half-assed effort at sentence structure and punctuation, hell, maybe even a capitalized letter or two. I personally find it rude that someone can supposedly not "find the time" to compose an e-mail as if any of that mattered. But I don't get too mad about it, after all it's only an e-mail, not a resume or SAT essay, which if you can't make the effort to write correctly than you deal with the consequences personally. English is a funny language, especially in the hands (mouths?) of those who speak no other language. There are plenty here in the U.S. who expect everyone to speak English--and only English!--yet these seem to be the same people who are not exactly who you would call proficient speakers or spellers. If you ask me, that's the degeneration of language; the supposed superiority (usually just xenophobia) of one language over another in the hopes that everyone only speaks a single language made up of only a few hundred unique words. But I digress... I'd admit I and those around my age have not exactly done much to improve the English language beyond possibly just speeding up the delivery process--texts, Tweets, posts, etc.--for the grand purposes of seeing a movie or drinking coffee. But if we are the "future" generations than everyone else won't have much choice in the matter. At least not until the young get old and suddenly the younger generations are "speaking" in a way no one ever imagined. What that could be I can only imagine: brainwave reading, telekinetic writing, flatulence speaking--I don't know! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Maybe she's really normal and down to earth because she didn't go to high school with you! It always seems like the geekiest nerds and losers in high school go on to live cool and accomplished lives as adults (myself excluded of course) while the popular kids go on to...what, relish great memories of high school? Considering all the women who have at worked at least a few hours in porn it's inevitable that many of us went to high school with a couple of them. It's just that they were not the next Aria Giovannis or Eve Angels of the world!  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I kinda agree, she's hot but seems to be overly focused on proving herself or her act to be more hardcore-than-thou for whatever reason. I say enough already! I get it; you chose to be in porn and you want to continue to be in it and are not afraid of hardcore acts, having that mentioned in almost every damn interview/article about her sort of drives home that point. I'm not too sure about her eyes but I think it's just the way they naturally look or the ten pounds of makeup every woman cakes on her face in every video. At least she isn't covered in tats and piercings. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

But Hackman has long become an established named in acting, but whatever happened to the former officers of his? Reminds me of an episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit! where they (well, just Penn) were talking about comedian Lenny Bruce and Penn held up a photo of Bruce being searched by a police officer at a club. Penn said something along the lines of "All you need to know about this photo is that nobody gives a shit about this guy" and pointed to the cop. Sadly, after so many arrests and blacklistings for his "obscenity" (mostly dirty words) Lenny died a drug user and out of work but he did a lot to change and influence what became modern comedy.

I love that: the Emperor of Porn. All hail Emperor Wittyguy and his right arm of steel! Maybe with your new title you can restart the escort/happy fun time service Emperors Club VIP so all the assholes and hypocrites in politics are too busy fucking around to be fucking with...
...because you know they will. I mean come on; natural/traditional/correct marriage is under attack and being threatened more and more by the gays and their gay agenda for a gay future in gay America. And once the gays infect their alternative lifestyle into every nook and cranny of real America then the children get mixed messages and then they don't know what's right and wrong anymore. And if the children--America's future!--don't get the right messages then within just a generation we will see this once great nation of ours fall and what's left will be nothing more than a total anarchy of godless heathens out in the streets committing sodomy and other blasphemous acts! Mark my words--it will happen! Once the institution of marriage goes to the gays then all of the other beloved institutions will fall like dominoes. Mark my words! Or maybe not... In my own opinion, speaking only for myself, there is nothing "natural" about marriage. It's just a social construction created by humans, not some instinctual act set deep within our DNA. Even just the concept of monogamy (without a marriage or ceremony or anything else weighing it down) does not have a great track record within our species. And is it just me or all weddings kind of gay anyway? Everybody dressing well, at a big ceremony, with lots of flowery decorations and festive goings on...doesn't exactly scream blatantly heterosexual to me. Oh and great rant, Wittyguy. I'd get worried if you didn't vent and rant every now and then. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?
