@ jc miller and jkk (somebody else too, i forget)...

not normally a 'me tooer' or 'attaboy/grrl' poster, but...

jc miller, what an incredible distillation of a terrific point, just wonderfully, succinctly put... magnificent, thank you...

jkk (and some others) made numerous excellent points which agree with my view, therefore they must be brilliant *AND* beautiful, as well as smell irresistable ! ! !

in short, the dem'rats not only ALLOWED the demonization of 'liberal' to happen over time, they PARTICIPATED in it: *besides* NOT really being 'liberal'/'progressive' in very many meaningful ways, they RAN AWAY FROM those labels, thus SHOWING they thought these words (if not positions) shameful and suspect...

Original article: Porn in a flash

nonconsensual loss of a NORMAL expectation of privacy is the crux of the crotch shot...

1. yep, disgusting, creepy, juvenile, and -ultimately- pretty pathetic... (talking about the taking and posting of upskirt/etc pix, NOT the NORMAL MALE DESIRE to 'check it out'...)

2. to sum up: when it is a guy you don't like 'checking you out', it is 'harrassment'/etc; when it is a guy you DO like 'checking you out', it is 'hot' flirtation...

this is both true AND valid...

however, HOW is a potential mate to KNOW, UNLESS/UNTIL they 'try' ? ? ? (i'm talking about 'normal' social relations, NOT taking creepy pix as a perverse 'icebreaker' to a relationship, which is the opposite of what is going on)

and chicks wonder why guys (*except* aggressive bad boyeez) are so 'shy' to approach them...

3. good points achilleselbow, unfortunately not commented upon by too many... we have a Hyper-sexualized society (in a sniggering, childish kind of way), we have early-onset puberty (especially for grrls, no doubt a result of the toxic punchbowl of estrogen-mimics we swim in, and due also to better nutrition, etc), we have softcore infotainment media for all 24/7/365, we have a fairly significant portion of young grrlz who dress to out-hoochie-mama each other, and we have virtually ZERO SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE OUTLETS for the raging hormones of all these snorting, pawing, desperate nekkid apes...

(we're *supposed* to be virgins until we marry, right ? ? ? what a joke that is: why not ditch the stupid and UNATTAINABLE expectation which causes more harm than good ? ? ? )

4. personally, i am simply dumbfounded by the so-called legal 'reasoning' which allows this type of intrusion and invasion of ultra-personal privacy be allowed to stand as some sort of 'normal' expectation when you are in 'public'...

? ? ? excuse me ? ? ? we have a normal expectation that someone using new technology (and WHAT are they going to do when creeps have nano-like camera botz who will crawl in your house, in your room, up your leg, or whatever the fuck they want to do ? ? ?) is somehow given immunity from being an intrusive, creepy fuck because they used technology to be unobtrusive about it ? ? ?

nope, i'm afraid this is yet another (in an infinite series) of The Law being an ass...

5. find it hard not to disagree with the advice offered by many: kick the bastard as hard as you can in the face, and/or take their picture and post it to shame (? do they have any shame if they are engaging in this kind of disgusting nonsense ?) them and make them publicly known...

thus spaketh the CENSOR...

"I'm not debating every deletion with you. "

CENSORS don't have to tell you a fucking thing...

(li'l peeps aren't for shit...)

hee hee hee

"I've given you my views on this already."

CENSORS don't have to explain themselves...

(dissenters are so demanding and unpleasant...)

ho ho ho

"I can't make it any clearer."

CENSORS don't have to clarify every instance of CENSORSHIP...

(they know better than li'l peepers...)

ha ha ha

"Please don't re-post things I've deleted."

CENSORS are nice and civilized...

(loudmouths are mean barbarians...)

ak ak ak

"If I deleted something, I had a reason for doing it."

CENSORS are ever-so-reasonable...

(they are only protecting us...)

oh oh oh

"You don't have to agree with the reason, but re-posting deleted posts just makes me have to go delete them again, wastes my time, and inclines me to just start deleting indiscriminately."

CENSORS are powerful and heroic...

(readers are weak and pathetic...)

wow wow wow

oh, and CENSORS who 'believe' (sic) in fwee speech are NOT hypocrites, either...

naaaaah

naaaaah

neh

weren't saloonists being all growed-up and -you know- 'pragmatic'...

...when they donated to, worked for, and 'chose' to vote at Korporate Money Party Approved Candidate "B" ? ? ?

hee hee hee

*NOW* they're feeling buyer's remorse ? ? ?

ho ho ho

didn't you want to be playa's playin' The Game, donatin' your kids' piggy banks to obamaniacs so you could buy -you know- 'good' influence ? ? ?

ha ha ha

*NOW* saloonies gots -like- principles and shit ? ? ?

ak ak ak

a little late in The Game for that, ain't it kampers...

who could have seen *this* coming... *snicker*

*what* are you going to say 10-20-30 years hence when your grandchildren ask:

"what did you do during the iraqi holocaust, grampa?"

"did you know 1 millions, 2 millions, 3 millions or more were being killed ? did they count as human beans ?"

"why did you vote for people who continued the iraqi holocaust, gramma ?"

...and your average stupid sheeple amerikan 'knows' that 'only' about 10,000 brown moose limbs in eye-rack were killed dead by our war machine...

we have the blood of millions of innocents on our hands...

shame shame shame

...but let's be 'pragmatic' about it
