theculturewarrior Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) This thread is a very interesting read. I just want to add a touch of diplomacy if that is possible. Hasan is not Catholic. He has announced it next to his profile pic. He has not claimed to speak with any kind of moral authority from what I have read. The rules that I live by (try to anyway, because I am human too) come from the Catholic Church, and they include judging not, lest ye be judged. If I was not Catholic, I would watch porn as often as I can politely state here, and I am not the only one. We know porn is bad. As Catholics we don't need to convince non-Catholics that porn is bad. I think the Church's position on that is well known. We need to convince them that the Church is home, and it has to come from the heart.

PhuturePriest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 no. *smh* i like Hasan's idea of coloring the quoted part. Seeing as how I can't find the colors anymore, I think I will just bold the messages I am quoting. It doesn't surprise me that Hasan is the one that thought of coloring them, though. He does like totally fab colors, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Normile Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hassan you posted above " I said that 'a great many people' did. I never said a majority or even a plurality. I did not write that post with any sarcasm. Honestly, you come of extremely judgmentally and so I thought I would help you perhaps broaden your perspective by both directing you to a place where you could get your question answered and by writing you up a query that wouldn't get you screamed at and dismissed right off the bat. But (AND HERE IS SOME SARCASM!!!) I do so very sincerely apologize for trying to help you. And it would not be more adult for me to have said your statement as I have never made any sort of pornographic tape. I've never claimed that I have and I'm not sure why you assumed that I have. My sex life is, I'm afraid, pretty boring and tame. Why you are so feverish in trying to reject my claims to not be an avid consumer of pornography and implicate me in pornography production I do not know but somehow I suspect that the phenomena known as projection may be at work here." Sorry I can not get the quote thing to work tonight . First off a great many, would be a plurality ! I come off as judgemental? You are the person who has twice wrote posts using my name that I did not write or refer too. I accept your apology. I need no help writing anything up. Look I do not want to argue with you Hassan. I came to the conclusion you used porn as you brought it up, said it was not bad, said many people make their own porn tapes etc. Most of your post's in this thread seem to defend porn and give the impression that you have knowledge in this area. What was I supposed to take from them? It was unfair of me and rude to imply you had anything to do with pornography as I know no such thing, I projected that from your posts. I do not care about your sex life either, again you brought that up. Look, if I defended genocide and added that a lot of people engage in genocide and stated that there is a place for it in certain situations, you may well come to think I was either involved or in favor of it. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The real question is how can Ed know that female pornstars exist without himself being a female pornstar or, at the very least, have experience fulfilling the role of a female pornstar? There's no way around it. Unless that logic is somehow flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough , although we are supposed to judge, what your are referring to is judging ones soul like whether they are going to hell. We are supposed to judge right and wrong, judge who we associate with and how that will affect us. We can not judge how they will spend eternity that up to God. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if I rabidly defended being a female pornstar repeatedly, one may assume that I had a dog in that fight. ed Sure. I think people have every right to view pornography, although I would encourage them to view pornography that is responsible produced with participates who work in humane conditions, and to make private sex tapes. I also think it's sad how much hypocrisy surrounds this issue and how many people live in shame over something they have no reason to be ashamed about. So I will stick my neck out so maybe other people can feel less shame for something that so many other people do, albeit behind a veil of hypocrisy. That doesn't mean that I think somebody should watch pornography or make sex tapes. I'm not a big fan of pornography and have zero interest in making a sex tape. But that's not some grand moral decision I've made. it's just an expression of personal sexual preferences. You have formed a monogamous relationship with one woman for 27 years. I think that's an amazing thing. Honestly. But I don't think that gives you a right to label as perverts people who have different sex lives. I think that you are a decent guy but you turn a lot of people off who would probably actually agree with you by the way you present your positions.
