So what do you suggest people who believe in God do? Stop believing because you think it's silly to talk or communicate with something you can't see with the physical eye? And why? Because you think it's so rational to believe only what you can see or prove through scientific evidence? You cannot prove there isn't a God or that there isn't life after death, and there is much more that science cannot and perhaps may never be able to grasp. Let others do what they want to do and believe what they want to believe, as long as they don't bring harm to other folk, and stop pretending like your above such people just because you chose a certain style of life. Such narrow mindedness only displays the same faults as the zealots you claim to oppose.

Who's trying to pass those laws and who do they represent? And what do they really have to do with religion? Not a damn thing.

Truthfully there are those among the religious holier-than-thou extreme who want to tighten the boundaries of censorship and, if they can, stamp out porn either all together or as much as possible (but preferably all together). You must already know this though, how could you not? People like Jerry Falwell and a growing herd of followers have been chirping on the evils of porn for decades now. And when people in this industry are seeing some of our own doing a 180 on us and joining that group I don't think anyone can blame them for getting a bit steamed at them. It's only natural.
That said, I like Ivy, always have. She can do what she wants, and I for one wish her well in whatever that may be. If her endeavors end up hurting my business at any time I may very well speak up about it, but anyone has a right to decry porn if they want. I know the truth of it though, that those like her and Donovan who were in the business and now make a living lobbying against it, well... they are still making a living off of porn, just in a different way... but much of the money still coming from the same people I bet. :D |
