My daughter's favorite Miyazaki character is Totoro.

My favorite Miyazaki character is Porco Rosso, because there were warrants out on him for treason, illegal entry, decadence, pornography... and for being a lazy pig (because he would rather be a pig than a pre WWII Italian fascist). Porco Rosso: "A pig that doesn't fly is just a pig."

But seriously. Yeah, I have noticed that some men become fixated on a certain porn star, and I can see why that would cause stress. In my house we have a rule; I won't fixate on a porn star, and my wife doesn't talk too much about Edward Norton. That rule is little dated, as Mr. Norton has not done much in movies in a while that was good (still he is quite admirable in his effort to get more solar panels installed), so the rule will probably change to read, Orlando Bloom (he's tough competition, because he's a Buddhist).

"I swear, there are times that the news seems designed to make me feel sorry for straight people."

And gay porn/erotica caused me to see homosexuals (both male and female) as real flesh and blood people with real emotions, creativity, and intelligence.

Was your "it blows" comment tongue in cheek?

Are you two watching the porn together or always separately?

Why do you feel it is causing tension?

Next you are going to tell me that Canada never gets cold, that women there never get drunk, no mater how much they drink, and that they never end up stranded with no money or a cell phone, and that they would never need help from an honest stranger that wanted to help them!

mappeal, are you trying to join the ranks of the insensitive, inhuman, psychopathic goons?

There is no gray area on this issue. Either you blame the Canadian woman for having trusted a man offering her help, or you don't.

They blame the woman, I don't. She is completely blameless for anything harmful that happened to her at the hands of that lying piece of shit. The man who raped her (the lying piece of shit) is inhuman scum, and all the blame resides entirely upon him for the evil dishonest thing he did.

Because human beings can't read each other thoughts, no one can be called stupid for having trusted someone at their word.

According to sexually repressed, Mormon, BYU resident:

"Porn destroys families! The gender gap on views of pornography could "create an area of tension when it comes to couple formation," says Jason Carroll, an associate professor at BYU."

Well my wife and I have been watching and enjoying porn/erotica since before we got married, and after 8 years our marriage is still happy and very sexually active.

Jason Carroll, you are an illogical reasoning prude.

Someone should do a study on couples that watch porn. I am sure the results will show that they are happier than couples that don't, and that their marriages/relationships last longer.

Consequentially when my wife and I watch action movies or primetime commercial interrupted TV, we both feel stressed and irritated afterwards. Which is why we turned off our cable, and increased the amount of DVDs that netflix and tigercinema sends us (blockbuster won't send NC17 movies). But we still use the internet (DSL) for hours out of every day.

According all of your illogical, blame the victim who accepted help, reasoning, a woman who is drunk, and stuck in the freezing Canadian cold with no money or cell phone should just die of frost then ever accept help from a stranger that might want to her help her.

The Canada woman accepted the man's help, because she believed that the man was going to be true to his word. Was she suppose to be able to read his mind to? Are we suppose to assume that everyone is lying all of the time? Is that the kind of society you all want to live in? I thought breach of a verbal agreement was also a crime. He said he would give her a safe ride home, but instead he lied and raped her. How can you possibly blame someone for believing that another human being is going to be true to their word? Is she really responsibly for his lying? Are the victims of Arthur Anderson and ENRON also guilty of being stupid for trusting that Arthur Anderson and ENRON would not cook the books, lie to them, and steal their retirements? No one can reasonably be blamed for the lies that someone else tells.

You guys are sick individuals for insinuating that the Canadian woman should be punished for having trusted someone at his word. If we can't trust people at their word, then we are not a society at all; we are just a bunch of insensitive, inhuman, psychopathic Goons. The foundation of civilization is that we live in fellowship with one another, where we are always able to trust each other at our word, and that those that lie, cheat, or steal are punished harshly.

If the Canadian woman is guilty of stupidity, then we as humans have failed to build a functional civilization.

"You do know that rape and murder actually happens, right? And that those victims have to come from somewhere? Or do those things not happen on your planet?"

Yes, I do know rape and murder happens, and I see the result of both probably a lot more often than you do. But unlike you I am not an inhuman, insensitive, psychopathic, piece of shit that blames the victims. I blame the criminals, totally and completely. There is no excuse for what rapists do, but you and your inhuman, insensitive, psychopathic ilk want to make excuses for them.
