    Having a pornographer as a friend - dangerous?

    By our choice in occupation, pretty much all of us have given up the remotest possibility of any high-profile carreer in politics and such. No biggie, right?

    But what about close friends and family? Could being friends with someone in the porn industry have a negative effect on future prospects of positions in politics and such?

                  I'm not talking about me. By age 16 I'd probably already ruined my chances of a career in politics. I'm talking about other people who have nothing to do with the industry themselves.

                      This question is a no brainer. If you had worded it as a topic of discussion instead of a question then the possibility of a new xbox or DVD player may have been strong for you.

                      This has the potential to be a very hot topic.

                          If it's a no brainer, please explain.

                          I'm not really interested in the xbox, just want some opinions on this matter.

                                      You're leaving out "now", and since I don't really trust your psychic abilities, all we are left with is a "20 years ago - YES".

                                          I spend thousands of dollars a month on Sleazy's psychic services. They are worth every penny.

Ofcourse, it wouldn't make much of a difference for most careers, but in some really high profile ones it has the potential for disaster.

                                                          I think it would have a harder impact on local elections in small towns, where people are more likely to look down upon scandalous things. It also depends how open and honest someone is about what they have done or currently do. Like if someone is running for President and they swear their whole family and they themself are as pure as snow but something surfaces that shows their brother did gay midget porn flicks, it would probably ruin their chances.

                                                          If they were open about what their friends/family do or did from the beginning, it depends on how respected the person is. Some people are disliked so much, that people will hold anything against them, even if it's something their friend or family did. On the other hand, some people are so well liked, that people will accept anything and everything about them, no questions asked.

                                                          i.e. the people that adore Clinton and will overlook any wrong doing on his part but if Bush's brother's wife's cousin's sister's friend's great aunt's maid gets arrested for .00005 ounce of marijuana, Bush is then ridiculed for that.

I have seen people get passed up for promotions because of who they associate with at work.....Do you think being associated with a Pornographer would be a point for or against you?

I personally trust my friends to be smart enough not to go around telling people at work that a friend of theirs makes extremely raunchy websites.

And if someone or a social sect cannot accept a buisness minded person for whome she or he is then fuck them... they're probably related to whoever said "money does not bring happiness"

And don't forget that the Prime Ministers son was convicted of rape . Most ppl just felt sorry for Chretien for having an asshole son . But Canada is ALOT different from the USA .

Could being friends with someone in the porn industry have a negative effect on future prospects of positions in politics and such?

I will be beyond wealthy before I'm thirty regardless. And if someone or a social sect cannot accept a buisness minded person for whome she or he is then fuck them... they're probably related to whoever said "money does not bring happiness"

                                                                                                                                          However, it's a different matter if your friends and family - who have not chosen to be in this biz - get screwed by it indirectly.

                                                                                                                                          Me, I'd never work for a company that had a problem with my past. Hell, I don't even think I'll ever work for someone else, so that really isn't a problem.
                                                                                                                                          But I'd feel extremely bad if the people I care about were hurt in any way because of their association with me.
