true or false: "your kid is yours, and totally your responsibility."
isnt it time we move forward and stop claiming that we have the right to decide whats best for our kids? or even saying "our" kids. as if parents own them. newsflash - those kids arent yours.

North Carolina Exempts Itself From Constitution
http://www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2013/Bills/House/HTML/H494v1.html

In short: "North Carolina is exempt from the Establishment Clause, and thus can declare a state-endorsed religion if desired." Thoughts?

Survey as to whether Agent K should be allowed to come back
I figure that this would be the most efficient way to collect the data.
Please vote yes, no, or if you have some specific conditions that you want to specify.

One for the boys ....... is porn a force for good or evil?
Does the free access and liberal attitudes to sex and pornography in some countries actually lead to more sexual indiscretion/abuse/violence/crime or does its availability lead to a safer society?

@krellin - I didn't claim everyone who was in it was there purely voluntarily or wasn't fucked up somehow. I said it had gotten better in the mainstream industry with the regulation that came about in the 90s. But there is an even seedier shadow industry that I also pointed out and with the global aspect in play via the internet, the shit coming out of Germany and Japan truly are fucked up and abusive to women. the problem resides in lumping all porn together. It;s like lumping all pro sports together or even all of pro baseball where you have MLB as well as the Frontier League and other minor leagues). You have mainstream porn, amateur homemade porn with willing couples, hidden camera or deceptive porn (like fakeagent), end even real abuse porn like that Japanese link I provided.

Doncha love when they shock her on either side of the twat with the jumper cables? I wonder what kind of amperage and voltage they are using? It left a burn on her right side of her twat. You should try the other two or three. They have all kinds of power tools including this reciprocating saw with the blade replaced with a dildo that sends her to unconsciousness from the massive multiple orgasms.

@krellin - If by "whether or not you have a public conscience," you are asking if I think that I should shove my beliefs down everyone's throat every chance I get, then no. I do not.

YJ: "Hey Erist, what do you think would be the result? I imagine I would be a walking hard-on who is always staring at my woman's butt, but that might also make me more intimate in general. Now I want to try this experiment."

Then try it and see. No porn. No masturbation. No orgasm. And sex and cuddling as many days as possible. Do it for science. I'll be interested to hear your results. Unless you've practiced self control before and have strong PC muscles I'd stay well away from the edge, or you're for sure going over.

@Draug - I get all your arguments and differentiations. The question is: Do you see any hypocrisy in the crowd here - those people that were ramming it down *your* throat (pardon the pun) about rape culture, who are now here discussing a topic casually in which there is known rape and abuse of women? Yes, not all porn is about rape, etc...but to say that the industry is void of rape is foolish.

Keep in mind these are the same folks, generally speaking, that don't want you to won a gun because *someone* somewhere might use a gun for bad things...therefore all guns should be taken away.

Why does their logic not flow from one discussion to the next? It's baffling...it's hypocritical in the extreme...and the answer, my friend, is that they only want to eliminate the things that don't impact their personal pleasure. Everything else they will legislate away...but hands off their golden idols of pleasure...

My name comes from an idea I had when I was a child. I went to go see some high grade lasers and I wondered why you couldn't do the exact same thing they do, only with cold instead of heat. Ice is cold, lasers are a type of ray. Put it together, you get Iceray. Add a 0 since most websites force you to use a number and boom, you have my name.

"So I'm NOW going to APPLY THUCY LOGIC TO DRUNK WOMEN: I'm also going to say when a women chooses to objectify herself by coming to my college party (which is known to drunken sex) in a mini-mini skirt, and a low cut blouse with her tits all but falling our...and then she gets blind-ass junk and crawls on my lap and starts rubbing her ass on my cock...well, she's pretty much asking to be fucked. It isn't rape..."

Wow sorry to interrupt your little fantasy bro but I do not see the connection with pornography. If a woman wears what you describe it is those who see her who may or may not objectify her. No one "objectifies themselves" just as no one is asking to be raped.

Anyway, you say that because I don't think porn should be banned I support porn. This is idiotic. I also think prostitution should be legalized though I don't support that.

Why? Because prohibition of this type of thing doesn't work and just creates eve more problems. I would rather the porn industry be legal and subject to regulation than a terrifying black market that results in even worse abuse and exploitation than it does now.

Indeed the law should be much more involved in the porn industry than it is now, because as you rightly say there is a lot of shady shit and abuse and exploitation that occurs in the industry.

But even beyond the actual cases of abuse, and the possible detrimental effects to the consumer, I was saying that I am against even the idea of porn because it is inherently objectifying of a person. A sex tape of someone you don't know which you watch for the purpose of getting off. That's objectification if there ever was such a thing. What is that person to you but a means to an end? That's my thought on the matter anyway. I can't see how porn can be life-affirming or humanizing, the other two problems with it set aside even momentarily.

Substitute player?
I was wondering, is it possible to substitute a player into a game without needing to miss two phases to get a CD, but that's a long time in which the players entire game plan could get crushed as the players around him would take advantage. I know it isn't possible now, but would a mod be able to do it if needed? E.G. if a player leaves but doesn't want to ruin the game.
