... in the theory, because while most boys would probably be more interested in imagining themselves boning the female pornstress, some might get more turned on by watching the arousal of the guy pornster.

In any case, my opinion is that watching sexual porn is not good for the psychosexual development of youngsters of either sex--the biggest danger being that they might become more addicted to voyeurism than to participation with a partner of whatever sex they choose.

There is a very common theory that people are born either heterosexual or homosexual, and while this may be true in some cases, I suspect that environmental influences, early sexual experiences, etc. influence adult sexual behavior much more than most people realize.

Certainly many adult pedophiles claim a history of having been victims of pedophilia themselves when young, and hardly anyone claims that people are born with a preference for sex with children, so it seems very likely that people can acquire a taste for certain kinds of sexual pleasure.

... running for office any more this is not a matter of public interest. There is no law that says that anyone famous is obligated to appear on Larry King's TV show to confess their sins to satisfy the prurient interest of the general public.

Hence, while I would love to know how the hell Edwards managed to get it up and perform unprotected sex with such an unattractive hag, I guess I shall just have to use my imagination. Or maybe not use it.

... thousands of trials would have to be nullified, because judges are selected or elected from the ranks of lawyers, and once you eliminate every other lawyer they have ever dated or had some kind of social relationship with, going back to law school, then it would be virtually impossible to have any trials at all.

Not long ago I was the foreman of a jury, and I go to the same gym as the local judge. Maybe the drunk driver who was convicted ought to get her license back?

Now, if the defense can show that this lady judge misruled because she was in a post-orgasmic glow from a recess in which the silver tongue of the prosecutor had been improperly applied, then perhaps the defense would have a case. Perhaps.

Play The Ball Where The Monkey DROPS It.

... there is a book called Play the Ball Where The Monkey Throws It--one of those inspirational books that tells you how to cope with life.

It might just be a coincidence, but my guess is that this is where Blunt stole the image from rather from any deep study of colonial mores or the history of golf.

Still, it might not be the best simile to use, though personally I have never seen the resemblance between Obama and a monkey that so many Salon readers have spotted!

Well, good for you, but as a general proposition the idea that people should run up credit card debt so as to be able to gamble in the stock market or in casinos has certain flaws that most people would be able to discern.

This is probably one of the reasons why Congress, a couple of years ago, made it illegal to use credit cards to play online poker.

Playing the stock market is certainly attractive, but the only people who can consistently make high short term profits are those who have access to insider information, or those who work in the exchanges and can manipulate trades to their own advantage and against the advantage of the retail customer. Get out while you are ahead.

... as long as you don't carry a balance past the end of the month.

A credit card is useful to have for making online purchases, airline reservations etc., but anyone who doesn't pay off the balance monthly is a fool--or they are in over their head in debt. Alternative types of borrowing like car loans, mortgages, home equity loans should be used before resorting to credit card borrowing.

The fact is that no person of substance in their right mind would ever carry a credit card balance, so ANYONE who does so is a sucker at the bottom of the food chain who has no alternative at this point in time, or else they are a person who recklessly lives beyond their means.

For non fools, the relevant question is how much you have to pay annually to subscribe to the credit card, and whether there are any bonuses like frequent flyer miles that make this particular card better for you than other cards that you might have.

But it still was released long before the Beatles broke up.

It was written in 1966 and the Beatles made their last live performance late in 1966. (Yes, they did continue as a studio band for another 2 1/2 years until they made their last studio album Abbey Road in 1969, after which all four never appeared together in a recording studio again.)

But Wingers are ridiculous the taxman came out long before the Beatles broke up, it was on their first album!

It was on their seventh album Revolver (1966). Why on earth would Harrison pen such a vituperative song about high tax rates before the Beatles started to make a lot of money. Besides being inaccurate, the above comment doesn't even make sense.
