War Is Worse Than Porno
The American people insist on war. They want it and by God they'll have it.

Yet, when they see a picture of humans making love, the American people cry foul!

But a War, with death and destruction, now that's something like a touchdown or a home run. I'm sick of it.

4. Porno parsing?
Guess it all depends on what your definition of "porno" is, eh?

6. how many diff. kinds of pornos are there?
by def. they involve the exchange of money for sexual acts in front of a camera - nine times outta ten I'd say there's no love involved....

8. Who cares
if they can "sell" the part more power to them. Love/schmove... sex doesn't have to be about love.

11. True
but the original post used "making love" as an example of porno...and do you really think that porn would change Smirk and his cronies? Didn't one of Saddam's sons have a big stash of porn?

15. I you think * doesn't have the whole collection of
Collosal Combo's Big Knockers Extravaganza hidden somewhere in the WH, you're deluding yourself. It's probably right next to his "Hop on Pop" tape.

I'd appoint a Porn czar were I President. His job: to find me good porn.

16. Porno is
the 'presentation' of sexual acts. Sexual acts are also called making love. Obviously, rumguy, you've never made love or you'd know what I was talking about.

23. I'd say 50 cents for your thoughts, but
From what I've read of your replies, I wouldn't even offer you a penny for them.

10. just FYI
there are a couple of "husband-wife" porn teams that make movies. The names escape my mind at the present moment, but they're quite frequently highlighted in magazines that cater to that sort of thing.

14. well again, it depends
on what your definition of 'making love' is.

You were the one that suggested that love prolly wasn't involved 9:10 times, and I was just suggesting that there are married people who are porn together, and not just 2 strangers fugging in front of a camera.

12. By whose definition?
My mother, may she rest in peace, thought anything other than sexual intercourse performed in the missionary position was "pornographic".

By contrast, my definition of "porno" or "pornographic" is limited to non-consentual sexual activity. Consenting adult? - Go for it.

What's yours?

3. Here here!
If the war mongers of America would turn off Faux News for an hour and throw in a good porn, the world would be a much safer and nicer place.

18. Yeah, a porn a day keeps the killer away.
Ya know, I always thought that since the Big Dog was getting some, it made him a lot more peaceful.
I know the few times I wasn't getting any, it was a good thing I was no where close to any weapons. <grin>

17. Maybe it was implied,
but I think a large portion of the public "gets off" thinking about all that pain and suffering and destruction--a sort of pornography.

22. war/porn
In '96 the movie "The People vs. Larry Flynt" had an amazing scene.Too make a statement, Larry had rented a hall and invited the public to view slides. He showed a slide from the Vietnam war carnage then a slide of two people making love. Then another from the war followed by a naked woman. After each 2 slide segement he would say "which is more obscene?" "This or this" "this or this". This was repeated over and over with different slides each time....It became very apparent which was more obscene, war.

25. So why can't America admit it?
Admit that they support the most obscene thing imaginable to do to other humans and reject that which is part and particle of their very being?

Why does our society require the obscene and turn away from our very roots?

28. You really think the American people would get off on this?


To them, "war" is a rambo movie. It's not real. The media goes along with this. Because the media doesn't want to bum them out.

It's fucked up.
