Ah, the dangers of a two-edged sword. Carking, dear soul, I was selling computers when Jack Tramiel built the first Vic-20 in the back of his typewriter shop in Toronto. Never saw a crank on one, but I've seen several attached to the keyboards. What you have to understand is that that broadsword you keep swinging cuts both ways. If you don't like the opinions we keep expressing, you have an off switch, too, and you can cancel your membership just as easily. There's no need to be hostile about it. We just don't happen to agree with you. There is a distinct difference between pornography and prostitution. Check the dictionary.
While I’m here, let me copy this: though it comes from another thread, it is so applicable here that it should be posted as a mast at the top of this page. It’s probably the wisest paragraph ever posted on this forum.
It comes from the Yank and is not about the difference between pornography and prostitution. It does however, apply, with infinite wisdom to this debate.
But while there is a segment who will protest this kind of scene, there is also a segment who will spend their dollars on these demeaning degrading scenes, so who is right? I personally can get aroused by certain kinds of verbal domination directed towards me, but I can also understand why someone else would be highly offended by that kind of talk. Right and wrong are often very difficult to discern.
Oh, and just to clear things up - the last time we talked, which was last week about cowboy hats, Tyler's 'hoo-haw' was still firmly attached where it belonged and Logan had at least a dozen pairs of freshly laundered undies. What Marky or vintage or whoever ended up with was a sheet and some undies but not a hoo-haw, a hee-haw, a foo-faw, or even a pee-paw for their money. They didn't get to touch anything. It was all scratch and sniff. And that's the difference between the auctions and the pimping. I hope that's clear.
