i'm going to the oilers game tonight.

I love the porn. And I'm not the weirdest person in this biz.

This is such an interesting thread because it shows that 2/3rds of pornographers aren't even proud of what they do...

I don't care who knows what I do for a living...I've told just about everyone I know...but I think you are definitely onto something.

I'm not here working my way through college like some of these guys and then moving onto something more respectable when I get my degree... and that's why some people on this board don't really care about issues that will affect the outcome of this industry...and by that I mean any real free speech issues.

Free speech is not there just so the middle class white boyeeez at college can join whatever political rally has the cutest chicks.

It's there to protect some of the worst parts of society...because even though you don't like it...you dont' think it's art...it just may be protected free speech.

Hahaha, don't get me started on this business. Most of the people in it I wouldn't care to see outside of it. Of the ones that I would, it grows fewer almost daily.

There's good money in it, and there really are some standup people, wading through the rest of it is one big pain in the ass.

Someone who's gotten filthy, and I mean filthy fucking filthy rich off this business told me at our very first introduction something that's always stuck with me --

"It's a scam, only a scam, pulled off by all manner of scammers."

I can even hear the accent and the words in my head now. Luckily I hadn't been around too terribly long when I heard it so I figured out he was probably right.

When I call him I say "hello scammer" and he knows it is me, no matter where I am or how bad the connection is to his half of the world...
