Aren't all laws built to control everyone?
I would say more civilized...if we can handle it like rational adults who are mature enough to recognize that sex is a natural part of life. * If instead porn makes you visibly upset and gets you to start babbling about "morals and values" and so forth--and not in any sort of ironic sense--then I would say you are not civilized. Go back to kindergarten, or better yet, some enlightened paradise of prudishness like Saudi Arabia--no porn, no problem!--and leave us sinful creatures the hell alone.  * P.S.: Here's a simple Wikipedia graphic to illustrate my point. Generally, the more tolerant of porn, then the freer the country. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Better lobbyists, especially given the fact that they are selling an inferior product.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Shut the country down? And mess with our sacred free market?!  Okay, just kidding, but in the U.S. these types of days seem to be more about keeping stores open in observance of some big sale, rather than--dare I say it--as a time of remembrance. I'm quite biased here too (I'm a veteran) but I would say on the topic of "supporting" the military, or honoring, or remembering, or whatever positive thing we do with regards to it, we are very superficial and short term. Hell, Bush II and John McCain originally threatened to veto the Post-9/11 GI Bill when it was going through congress in 2008--apparently those two dickheads worried it would end up hurting retention, never mind that it might help veterans. Fortunately W did sign it, though McCain never ended up casting a vote either way. But even outside this issue so many of these politicians with raging war boners have served little to no time in the military, much less in a hostile environment. And while this seems unfortunate it's fairly representative of a country of 300+ million with around 1% volunteering to serve. And this is why I think we see so little real support of the military, or at least what I believe any thinking person would consider support. Yeah, bumper stickers and lapel pins are great but do they do anything beyond making the person displaying them feel self-congratulatory? How exactly do long wars with no clear goals, extended deployments, lies to families, not to mention a seemingly unending list of shameful scandals really help anybody?  ...But if you're looking for a more celebratory holiday in America, I would recommend the 4th of July--burgers, booze, fireworks, and warm weather! (Unfortunately, quite frequently celebrated in that order.  ) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think sex toys are verboten in all of Texas, and a few other states as well, but I believe it ultimately depends on what the item is sold as. For example, Hitachi's pussy-pleasing Magic Wand is sold damn near everywhere as nothing more than an innocent personal massager, even Walmart (fulfilling, I assume, the "Live Better." part of their corporate slogan). Try doing that with something that's an obvious dildo or sex toy and the fundies will likely want you tarred and feathered. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "medicinal" out to legally sell most sex toys as "medical devices" the same way you can find a "doctor" in Los Angeles who can write you a prescription for medicinal marijuana.

Fortunately we have the Internet, and the beautifully borderless frontier of (seemingly) neverending porn it has opened!  And not to rag on the heartland but come on, seriously? Sorry, but you don't get my vote for "Real America" until you can handle adult entertainment like an adult, as well as at least acknowledge the existence of evolution, if not bother to teach it in public schools. (Try and give me a reason why I shouldn't continue to avoid these states like the plague.) Interestingly, Utah is supposed to be high on the list of consumers of Internet porn, so it's apparently not just blessed underwear and clean living in the no-porno-in-the-mail states. I guess it's another reason to ditch physical media entirely and go digital, assuming it's not illegal to ship large hard drives as well (seeing as there's probably science and stuff involved in their manufacture). This also reminds me of when ALSScan sold DVDs and VHS tapes--remember those?  --and they had a fairly long list of no-mans lands that they couldn't/wouldn't ship to.

Part of the problem of social networking sites, particularly Facebook, is that they want you using them a lot, and if you don't then they're are going to bother/remind you that you haven't logged on in a while. I signed up for a Facebook account a few years back, but haven't done anything with it beyond opening it and they periodically send e-mails reminding me of pending friends and that I haven't logged on recently. With sites like Facebook around, which has a constantly changing privacy policy, it's a wonder people care about keeping anything to themselves, much less away from a company with an unnerving amount of your and your friends' personal information.

I'm not an "outsider" and I'm appalled. Why do we--or Americans at least--even have a government organization (the freaking FCC) that has the power to issue fines over content in the first place?! Never mind the speed of the courts, or lack thereof, as this was hardly the case in need of a speedy trial, but how did this puritanical nonsense ever become legal? Doesn't this violate the 1st Amendment at some level or another? I really don't watch much TV, and when I do it's on the net, but it still aggravates me that I have contribute tax revenue to the superstitious whims of the morally outraged in whatever represents the latest battle in their imaginary culture wars. Couldn't the money and resources devoted to fining these supposed evildoing broadcasters and the filthy unregulated halftime bare-nippled secularists they employ be better spent on real communication and legal issues? Not to pick at old wounds, but since this case is one of the many nuggets of glory from the Bush II years, can anyone else imagine if this kind of public overreaction was aimed at the real horrors of those years, instead of at the rare sighting of an unsheathed (if not unshielded, apparently  ) nipple at the Superbowl?And sorry if my response/rant here sounds like one big overreaction, but to me the whole incident represents the piss poor morals and values that my fellow Americans can seemingly muster out of thin air whenever nudity or sex or just hints thereof are involved, but not for real issues that civilized adults should be addressing.

Godamnit! And I was looking into buying another external in the coming weeks!  Now every time I want to buy a computer component I have to check the weather too?! Though this really isn't completely unprecedented. Back in the spring when the earthquake and tsunami hit Japan, Sony couldn't manufacture certain types of video tape since they produced it in only one factory which was damaged by the quake. Believe it or not, a lot of TV shows and films use these tapes to archive and backup footage (keep in mind they're not cheap blank VHS tapes), and would normally use a lot of it, and Sony has only recently opened the factory again. I also heard that Fujifilm's cinematic film was affected by radiation from damaged nuclear plants. Unfortunately unexposed and undeveloped films can be ruined by the stuff that makes comic book heroes grow strong, but you won't know for sure until you develop it. Same reason I hope "The Big One" earthquake never hits southern California, because I don't want the depraved juggernaut that is the American porn industry to come to a grinding halt (grinding, ha ha... get it ) because they don't have power to light and shoot a set or running water to clean it up.

One star I had not seen in a while was the lovely anal goddess Aurora Snow...  That was until a few weeks ago when I watched a video of a scene she did with, appropriately enough, Kink.com's EverythingButt.com. The scene was from August 2010 but a lot more recent than anything else I remember seeing her in, and fortunately still as hard and nasty as I remember her--what a relief!  She looked minutely heavier (outside of porn, it would be considered negligible), and frankly I was very happy to see she hadn't wandered off into a marriage, was busy writing a "tell-all" memoir book deal, found Jesus or whoever, or even gone to law school--as she apparently dreams of doing one day, according to this Daily Beast article she wrote in 2010. (BTW, is it wrong to be turned on by just her writing?  )She's supposed to be quite close to her brothers, and now spends much of her time taking care of one of them after he was injured in a motorcycle accident. Nice to know she really does have a heart--which I knew about all along, of course--and that she doesn't have to quit the business cold turkey in order to have one.

Why I said "many tattoos," not all, because there are exceptions to every rule (assuming there are even rules for job interviews anymore). People always say "males should wear a suit, blah blah blah," but I'm betting this would not be referring to a bright purple suit with gold buttons and other bling.  Rules were made to be broken, if not completely exploited for their loopholes.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'm betting it's a combination of the ink used and the aging skin--even the greatest tattoo can't prevent your body from aging.  Of course if you get really out of shape then you really can't blame the tattoo. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I'm not sure if that's entirely true, and, like so many of the viewpoints on PU, it may be generational. Many of the young in the Middle East appear to want more Western-style life and culture. That doesn't mean they want the U.S. military there, or some American-backed dictator, but I doubt they really want to live in a theocracy or kingdom in the 21st century. But I don't think this means an abandonment of their religion or history either. Older generations are probably far less welcome to any Western influence, and given the history of the region I could understand why. A bigger threat than the Tunisian example would be what has happened with Iran over the decades. They overthrew a king in 1979--who was the result of the U.S. and the U.K. backing a violent overthrow of Iran's democratically elected leader in the '50s--and the resulting chaos did not lead to a freer Iran. Instead they got an oppressive theocracy that's been run by a series of septuagenarian Ayatollahs in man dresses, who make up rules on everything from free speech to appropriate hair styles--hardly anyone's concept of modernism or freedom. Sorry if you're a religious person, but to me Iran's government is a prime example of why too much religion is so harmful to people. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

It was pretty clear...but I guess I couldn't help replying. And if fire was the only weapon extremist theocrats who hide behind the Koran had then I doubt we'd have as much to fear. Knives, explosives, guns, hijacked planes--yeah, those are a little more worrisome. But why does it only take a cartoon, or movie, or book to unite the more vocal and violent dimwits of a religion?

I'd have to agree, though I never tried the boxing glove thing... Still, the only thing that could scare me out of masturbating would probably be something self-afflicted, like wrist or chest pains that I've never had before. Or possibly an angry partner who's sick and tired of having to launder my "hand towels" so often and with so much detergent. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Halloween is coming up though...
So, is that one time you were not scared stiff? Sorry, but I just couldn't resist. (Spoiler alerts below.) I wasn't scared by The Exorcist, but then I did see it in my 20s and frankly a lot of it was kinda silly, plus my views on religion probably don't help much in the matter. The scene where Linda Blair (when possessed) masturbates with a crucifix and chants "Fuck Jesus!" in a demon voice is just over the top silly to me. Or it's just plain offensive, depending on your religious views, which is why I'm betting Catholics feel either genuinely scared, such as yourself--though arguably not the film's fault--or genuinely profaned. But at the same time, the whole point of the movie seems to be pro-Catholic, in that Regan (Linda Blair) is eventually freed of the demon, minus the priests who die in the process, and Father Damien has a serious affirmation of his faith (though he still dies). Anyway, I still think it's a good movie, though not particularly scary, and I could care less about the religious accuracy, though supposedly there are some real priests acting in it, and some of it was actually filmed on Georgetown University's campus. I also think "Rosemary's Baby" is good too, but even less scary, and way more campy. (The elderly neighbors are actually a part of some weird satanic cult? C'mon...  ) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice.

It's a crazy concept for a movie, but as far as gory horror films of late go it's pretty mild, especially considering the details of what the title really implies. The "Hostel" films seemed to be way gorier and exploitative to me (this doesn't actually make Centipede any better, mind you). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I hope you're just being sarcastic, as all of the current theocracies of the world (which also all happen to be Islamic) only allow people the freedom to suppress or react violently to any hint at civil liberty, usually in the form of another made up "blasphemy" that is so offensive to people's delicate religious sensibilities that violence and/or threats thereof are the only answer. And not to be too one sided, but Islam does have the more violent religious conservatives of recent history. Even Martin Scorcese's "The Last Temptation of the Christ" did not have the pope putting a hit on out the director or the stars, just a bunch of angry, though mostly non-violent, protests and self-righteous whining about "respect" for their way of thinking and a film that nobody was ever forced to see. Compare this to the publication of Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses," or the Dutch film "Submission," both of which offended Muslims and ended up with people getting killed as a result!

Like Wittyguy wrote above, not completely, but still fairly secure for handling your info over the Internets. Though I'm betting many employees at credit card companies understand "CCBill" on customers' statements to mean "Porn subscription! This guy buys porn!" Fortunately I have yet to have a CC issuer pass judgement on how I spend my money as a happy, healthy adult.  On a more specific note to ITC, they are, in my personal pervy opinion, a great site for HD video and large photos, as long as girls-only closeup content is what you seek. In short, a recurring bill should not be a problem--finding enough storage space will be. (Also, as soon as you sign up for ITC, go to CCBill's website and cancel. You can still access subscription sites until the cycle runs out, regardless of an early cancellation.) "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

What if an atheist does not believe in anything remotely close to this "higher power" that the group repeatedly refers to? And if they are talking about some sort of literal higher power--which I strongly doubt--then the idea of giving anything to it/him/whatever sounds just as insane. Sorry, but speaking for myself, I'm not in disbelief of god just so I can save my worship for someone or something else here on earth, which is arguably way more dangerous. I have plenty of issues with believing in god, but the real problems seem to come from the organization of almost any strong beliefs in the form or religions, cults, and other such groups. And it's why you could have a group of atheists worshiping a dictator's personality cult be just as dangerous as a group of fundamentalist believers doing violent acts in worship of whatever god(s) they believe in. It seems one characteristic of many modern atheists is that they are fiercely individualistic, and their opposition to large groups and herd mentality is true not just for religion but secular aspects of life as well. This is why I doubt we'll ever see a serious atheist or truly secular political organization or PAC in the U.S., much less an entire political party. If you see part of the problem of religion as being excessively herd-oriented then you're not going to be looking to join an opposition group as some sort of substitute.

Really? It's hard to believe that an organization that supposedly works to help you--partly through what it calls having an "awareness of a Power greater than ourselves"--would not take that opportunity to convert you to their way of thinking, whether or not it really involves alcohol abuse. By definition, if you think you're an alcoholic and you're going to AA for help, then you're admitting there's a problem and you need some sort of solution. Sorry, but I guess I'm the perpetual cynic and skeptic, and I think people, particularly when coalesced in questionable groups such as AA, are not out to help people. The fact that AA was founded by two religious conservatives and that at least half of their original 12 Steps mention God by name or in the abstract doesn't help me think any better of them either. They don't even hide this, as they say on the web version of their own "Big Book": Most of us think this awareness of a Power greater than ourselves is the essence of spiritual experience. Our more religious members call it "God-consciousness." Most emphatically we wish to say that any alcoholic capable of honestly facing his problems in the light of our experience can recover, provided he does not close his mind to all spiritual concepts. He can only be defeated by an attitude of intolerance or belligerent denial. I can only be defeated by "an attitude of intolerance or belligerent denial"?!  Hey, if I was gullible enough to believe such cult crap in the first place, I would already consider myself defeated. I guess trading in booze for 12 Step Kool-Aid is the way to go.

Maybe, but not necessarily. Maybe he just means if you're married and you don't treat your spouse as a god then you're committing blasphemy. And if I were to have any religious beliefs (I don't), they would probably include something about the Antichrist being in the form of a bridezilla--or that they are one of the four signs of the apocalypse--so I doubt I will be considering marriage "sacred" anytime soon.

What you're describing sounds more like deism than atheism, which is belief in a creator, but not necessarily a creator in the biblical sense where he (she?) not only creates us but watches over our every move and determines our fates, etc. There definitely are different degrees of atheism, though I wouldn't necessarily call them different religions, though maybe different sects. Sort of like how Christianity has Pat Robertson while also having Jimmy Carter, atheism has Richard Dawkins while also having the regular Joe/Jane who doesn't believe in god but also really doesn't care. The latter is sometimes called apatheism, which is a sort of an indifferent atheism, where you don't believe in god, and you really don't care much about the whole issue of god/no god. And this is probably where I would categorize myself, because I never exactly had an "Ah ha!" moment, but just a gradual realization of my views and lack of belief, and more or less said "Oh well, enough of that," and then pretty much went on my merry way. So I don't get too high on my soapbox or start arguments that ultimately go nowhere, but I still enjoy reading up on religion and people's different takes on faith, even if only to make sure I don't have to answer to some nitwit with a bible next time I go vote or buy groceries. And to be perfectly honest I have yet to meet a truly proselytizing atheist in a manner that comes close to people knocking on my door or handing me a pamphlet, or simply telling me what I supposedly can and can't do (which I would find frighteningly close to a dictatorship, so fuck off!). I guess to put it more succinctly (and to cut my rambling down), I'm reacting against having grown up in the U.S. at a time when religion, primarily Christianity, has had a pervasive and in my view largely negative influence on everyday life, which has probably turned just as many people away from religion (and possibly having any beliefs at all) as it has converted or kept. I think I would be much more open to religion if it hadn't come so frequently in the form of a dominionism that borders on fascism. Instead I have had to endure a theoretically secular political system that seem to hinge on officials' religious beliefs over their politics. This, along with a long list of ridiculous "evils" that masquerades as morals and values, have made me pretty cynical. For me, it's hard to take a person seriously as they rant against gays, women, or just an "immoral" film or TV show, when they seem to see no bigger issue in, say, poverty or that they don't think people have a right to healthcare.

I think I would still rather pay a tax than just buy everything illegally, especially considering the problems of the black market. But both ends of the political spectrum seem to have the screwed-up idea that they have the moral authority to deem what is "good" and what is "bad" for us lowly peasants. Ugh...

 That sucks for Denner and his fellow Danes. Here's to the formally low priced fatty foods... I'm not really one to get my panties in a bunch over food taxes when the government is doing far worse things, like letting us eat tainted meat--and that's just food! Still this isn't really the best way to fight obesity or even heart disease (until recent decades margarine was generally worse for your heart than butter), and I think it will do more to piss off consumers and generate some tax revenue than improve health, never mind how genetics screws up everything else.I say legalize it all--food, drugs, sex--and flatten their sales taxes/VATs while also working on safety, not subjective versions of "health" or what's "good."

Wait, are you saying these aren't romantic? ---
Hey, if 10 minutes from meeting a girl for the first time to seeing a nipple (hers, damnit!) was all it took in real life I would say that's hardly boring. Assuming more is to come in such a timely manner I would call it sexually efficient! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Not really. But your original post made me think of something similar between food and sex. And it is that when I am hungry for either one I tend to make bad decisions that I will eventually regret... I think it's good advice to not go grocery shopping when you're too hungry, but also not be, um, "on the prowl" when you're too horny. This probably also explains why so many of us have way more porn than we will ever consume (fortunately porn seems to not spoil anywhere near as quickly as food). "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I just heard about PETA's proposed porn site...hey, if it means more porn, I'm not too concerned with the cause (because I'll still eat meat). But I thought porn sites were already raising animal awareness with every hardcore scene where they had people fucking like jackrabbits.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Remember the Laserdisc? It's not actually a digital format but instead effectively functions as a sort of analog DVD, if you can wrap your head around that idea. They're a little before my time (first coming out in 1979), but I do seem to remember an art class in middle school having a few laserdiscs, each of which had thousands of images of artworks stored on them--so you can imagine how great it would be for your preferred works of art.

Best reason to keep a supply of matches and emergency candles along with the old mags.

That sounds unhealthy, I guess, but what the hell constitutes "12 pats of butter"? Yahoo must have slipped up, because if you're going to demonize a food, or anything that people put into their bodies, you usually have to bring up how many months, years, etc. it takes off your life; then add how much it costs or will cost the public in healthcare; and finally bring up a possible (key word) link to cancer or a known toxin or poison. Making people shit their pants over their food is not as easy as it sounds, it really takes some work. I say relax, and worry only if you're actually spending that much time at the movies (and eating a snack every time you're there). I'll die of old age or from the sheer stress of flossing the kernel shells out of my teeth before I eat enough popcorn to to get my 3 quarter-pounders worth. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Since you mentioned Firefox you could try some of their add-ons (they have tons, and people are always adding more). I did a quick search and found FoxFilter and Anti-Porn Pro, both of which have fairly decent ratings and reviews. There's also an add-on called WOT, which has a child safety category (Porn Users gets a red, meaning it's unsafe for kids), though this is more of a way to warn about or block spammy and privacy-invading sites rather than hold back the tidal wave of porn that is the Internet. I don't have kids so I can't speak from experience and I was a teenager when I first starting surfing the web so I found porn pretty quickly. Trial and error on a shared family computer is probably going to be your best bet. It's also probably safe to assume whatever you do to block porn can be unblocked by most kids given enough time and curiosity. An open door policy would probably help, since it would be easier to physically see what the child is actually looking at. Good luck. --- P.S. Edit: The three add-ons I mentioned are all free, though FoxFilter says it has "Premium features available with small support fee." In general you should be able to block porn for free--though it might take some time to find the most appropriate solution. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but I thought this thread would be as good as any of the other non-porn movie threads and better than the now gigantic 13 page-long Upcoming Movie Thread. Anyway, I read a Slate.com article about director Steven Soderbergh and his really varied filmography, which has a little bit of everything if you've never checked his work out. From his early indie "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," to the star studded Ocean's movies to the low budget "The Girlfriend Experience," starring Sasha Grey (yes, that Sasha Grey ), he's done a lot of different movies.And not to give anything away in the article, but if you make it to the end (it's kind of a long read) it mentions how Soderbergh "knows from masturbation; indeed, he's a devoted connoisseur of pay-per-view hotel porn." You gotta respect him for that--an Oscar-winning Hollywood director who still appreciates the adult arts! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

Though I have no religion or supernatural/deity beliefs of my own, this might be about as close to a religion as I'll ever get. And probably why I think sites like InTheCrack should be considered non-profit like a religious organization, as they seem to be a church of the female form.  (And if ITC is just a mere cult, then I've long since drunk the veritable Kool-Aid, and I'm asking for more!)
I think much the same about women too, even though I also like them to be strong and independent as well, oh, and a filthy mind never hurts! I guess I like my mortal goddesses here on earth to be somewhat Old Testament style, in addition to the nurturing and caring aspects. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

You're welcome, but what's this "wife" you speak of? Never heard of that before... But seriously, it's probably a good thing (for now) that I don't have to worry about upsetting some nice woman every time I have a little extra cash and I forget why I have a ring on my finger. Though to be honest I don't think I could ever pull off a genuine (no money) affair with just my good looks and charm alone. If anything I'd probably have to work hard to keep her from coming to her senses and cheating on me! "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

If it could be one of my favorite stars rather than a "well known" (well worn, if you ask me ) then maybe. I guess I would be worried about under-performing or not performing at all! Or worse, perform and then have her laugh at me afterwards. I definitely don't want a professional condemnation on my lack of Casanova prowess--regular, non-porn girls are fine for that!It's all about the fantasy for me, and as much as I love to think I could rock her world, if only for a few minutes, I also know I am not Mr. Ex-Con drilling and filling her in a typical video, and with nowhere near his experience or apparent lack of compassion towards women. Maybe a Girl Next Door-type experience (which doesn't even go all that well anyway) would be more along my lines than paying to embarrass and/or shame myself with my fantasy porn star.

Like anyonebutme, I can't think of any relationship really, except that they can both affect quality and file size (which can both be judged fairly objectively). Of course, you can always have a big beautiful file that, at least technically, is shot as near to perfect as possible but still bores the hell out of you. Personally I look at size way more than bitrate, and sites frequently list their videos in terms of frame size, though some list both. Problem is if it's shot in a certain format--which usually corresponds to a certain size, since porn is almost 100% digital--then you shouldn't go bigger than that. Bottom line, you really can't get bigger than the original size, but smaller is always possible (sounds like an insult from a former girlfriend... ).Anyway, they are probably all compressed to some extent or another since it's the 'net. (Uncompressed video would equal massive file sizes, so be careful what you wish for.) And generally speaking the larger dimensions and higher bitrates mean somewhat less compression than smaller dimensions and lower bitrates--when in doubt, check it out! If two videos look the same to you I would choose the one that's smaller in file size and is still easy to play. Or just go crazy and choose the biggest file size every time. I believe this is badandy400's strategy. "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.
