Your opinion and are free to express it, you don't have to participate in it, you don't have to watch it....

America is a land of freedoms, something you are obviously are overlooking.

To be honest, I wasn't even really paying attention to your conversation... I just responded to one of your posts, and was mostly commenting in general "why do WE care?" I understand we're just discussing the issue, but some people seem awfully offended & concerned about porn stars - and I'm still wondering why/how it matters what adults do with their bodies.

There was a time (not long ago) when oral sex was considered "degrading" by a lot of people.

No one should have a right to decide what kind of sex another adult decides to have. If you don't like it, then don't do it, but let others make that decision for themselves.

Having sex is something that nearly everybody does or has done in their lifetime.

If you don't like it, don't watch it, but don't be so judgmental of adults who are fully capable of living their own lives the way they see fit, especially when it doesn't affect you at all.
How is it up to you to decide what is ok? You don't have the right to define morals.

Stop judging us.

anyone who tells anyone how to live or what to do. In this case, the poster I responded to was expressing a concern that people not push their morals on him....but he was more than willing to tell them what to do or not do.

I wasn't defining morals. I was giving my opinion. You should be used to me by now.

Sorry, but no. I've got my opinions, and you've got yours. We're all free to express ourselves here. When it comes to personal behavior and sexuality, I believe in "live and let live", and I simply encourage others to do the same.

Ironically, it's often conservatives who want to ban porn, but then proclaim that they favor the free market system.

That makes absolutely no sense... if somebody says "you have the right to do/feel/think whatever you want," how exactly are they judging or determining what's right or wrong? Nice try, but this argument is a fail.

Porn performers and regulators clash

Lawyers nitpicked at the definition of the word genitalia. Performers groaned at the suggestion they wear goggles while having sex on film. And state of California bureaucrats declared they care deeply about the pornography industry.

In a four-hour hearing Tuesday that ranged from thick legalese to graphic descriptions of sex acts, officials and performers clashed over proposals for new safety regulations on the porn industry.

State officials insisted they were trying to protect those who make a living in the industry, not drive them out of state or shut them down.

...
"It's at the point where we feel we'll be working in hazmat suits,"


These people do stuff with their bodies that is often unhealthy both in a physical and spiritual sense.

If you look at the addictons, the diseases, and the harm it can cause families who watch and parade in this stuff - and the state of CA is looking at regulating the minutia and details to make this safer - it's just ludicrous.

Never mind the damage it causes to people who watch this stuff via divorces, or diseases from mimicing their actions, or rapes by sexually charged perverts - never mind that stuff, just wear a condom and safety googles while you wreak havoc with the souls and spirits of men.



Chuckle!!
