One, I think your view of porn is extremely limited if you think it is almost entirely based on men "tricking" women into sex. Two, how is the view that women are naturally suppose to "protect" their sexuality and that men have to convince women to have sex because it is something women will not want themselves,…

I think any benefit of the doubt they are just promoting creating an atmosphere goes out the window when they talk about "sneaking off" a bra and that having a sip of alcohol is license to do whatever. Dim lights and fluffy sheets are laughable to the degree they recognize no amount of atmosphere is going to make…

I think it is best to think of it as a game. The person who mentions race first looses (unless that person is white, in which case they win by default).

"And if it's a choice, a personal decision, it becomes less worthy of discrimination protections than intrinsic characteristics like race, gender, or mental illness/physical handicap."

Amazing. It is more shrill than I expected which makes it even more chilling to me.

I was so hoping against hope they would make someone not Kirk the Jerk the Captain. I mean, why not go all out? Co-sign everything else, especially the part about the stakes not having far to go. Also, I really do not like Kirk, at all. TOS or reboot. At all.

I have actually read that males who write romances are actually considered very marketable because the concept of men writing sweeping romances practically creates its own marketing. Especially when they are relatively young. Though, if as widespread as suggested, that marketing is itself based on the idea of…

Okay, the Han dress and the comic-strip cut-out dress are both cute to me. Other than that, the clothes don't look very interesting, not as though a lot of fashion designing went into them beyond throwing scenes on clothes. Comic-strip one does look nice though.

Yes, it is often hard and unlikely to change religious beliefs, religious associations, or from theism to atheism. However, religion is understood to be something that is not genetically innate in regards to someone being a particular religion. Rather, it is considered to be mostly shaped by circumstances of birth and…

I agree that for a lot of us the biological component is personal. However, one problem I have is the political aspect, especially because some people do argue they chose to be gay or have same-sex relationships (not now as much as in the past couple decades), and I don't think that should undermine the fight for…

I also hate this argument from a rights perspective because I do not think civil rights should be tied to consensual decisions. So what if I do choose a same-sex relationship, should I be denied rights as an individual or part of a couple because of it? Should I be discriminated against because of it? Religion is a…

I don't think their stance has really evolved that much. They still see same-sex relationships as sinful and immoral, but recognize, as an institution, there might be biological determination. I'm sure they would still support anti-marriage campaigns as an institution. Also, as an institution, they might not see being…

I had a pastor, non-Mormon, explain that he felt same-sex attraction was not a choice. However, having sex before marriage is sinning, and if gay people can not get married, then they should not have sex. Another homophobic pastor gave a similar line about marriage being about condoning sexual relations and society…

I thought Wall-E too. I also felt Wall-E did more to get the point across within the framework of the story whereas this video tries so hard it looses both message and story. Even the clip of "buy red" instead of blue and advertisements against mending standing on their own are more purposeful than this.

In all fairness, I think if the Guv is justified in revenge for his daughter, then Michonne is certainly justified for wanting revenge on the man who sent henchmen to kill her after she left. If the Guv had just let her leave when she first asked, then these events would not have taken place. And Michonne probably…

Well done, well done.

To me it seems that his motives were to stay in charge of Woodbury. Afterall, even if the guardsmen took over which they likely would have, they might have done a better job of protecting Woodbury or just as good a one. I don't think there is enough to go on to assume the governor was reasonably afraid they might try…

I wonder if some organizations don't think to publicly sever themselves because the organizations don't take the person as serious? Also, I don't know about SDA, but most no-Catholic and Protestant sects (with some exceptions of course) don't seem as highly structured as the Roman Catholic Church which may make…

Thank you. I am so tired of this being the default suspicion. It speaks of a real ignorance of how prevalent homophobia is amongst straight people. So prevalent in fact, that over-the-top hatred of gay people is blamed on LGB people ourselves. The Queer community, not just responsible for hurricanes anymore. Not to…
