Funny thing is that my life has become so exciting in many respects that porn is just not of interest anymore.

It's just a shame we don't get to see the _insert team name here_ play at Vivid Entertainment Stadium.

I looked at porn, and look at me, I'm perfectly normal.

No offense, but when you start a sentence with "When I have kids..." you lose all credibility.

If the start of his sentance didn't rob him of credibility the end of his sentance- "they will drink if they want to in my home-" certainly destroyed his credibility.

How old before you buy your kid booze? 16? Is he allowed to have friends come over to drink with him? So you're willing to provide alcohol to kids? What if one of his buddies has a reaction to alcohol and dies? What if he gets drunk and totals his car?

Manadew, expecting my child to be drug and alcohol free is hardly social engineering- in fact it's being socially responsible. If you plan on allowing your child to drink, do drugs, whatever, then I hope you never have kids.

Thrawn, what are you talking about? I don't beat my child- in fact it has never been necessary. If you assume I'm a whacked out Christian because I attempt to instill moral values in my child then I must assume you're morally bankrupt.

Was going to let that go... My father worked for a winery. Wine was something we drank with dinner for as long as I can remember.

Airhead / Sandman I suggest you READ things instead of assumeing preconcived ideas.

Sand -I think I'll do that with my kids because my parents did it for me (just a bit beyond 21 now)

I watched some freinds around me die or end up in coma's (he's been in coma for 4 years now) the were out and about drunk because they COULDN'T drink at home.

Your entilted to your opinion, all I'm saying is isn't my opinion just as valid? soical enginnering tries to make someones opinion law.

By saying 'soical engineering' I mean makeing LAWS that say you shouldn't do these things. I think you as a parent have the right to deny your child anything to the age of 18 or until they run away;
but I don't think laws should be in place for these types of things, it should be a parents choice to let thier kids drink or even watch porn. (I'd hope most parents would choose not to let them see porn but it should be thier choice.)

I'm a firm believer of crime requireing victims

maybe you want to payfor all the pot,coke whatever heads in jail, I don't

I think all these things fall under the 'social engineering' area. and it always sickens me, but that my opinion .. unless you want to make it law.

Yeah...Christian morals. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Masturbation will blind you. Our bodies are gardens for Jesus. Any of this sound familiar?

Your morals are that of the religious right. And if not following it's policy of shame and guilt makes me morally bankrupt, then so be it.

Hmmm... not sure what I assumed.

Anyway... once you start raising your own kids, you'll probably find quite a few preconceived notions about it that just don't quite fit with the reality. Keep in mind that your reality isn't the same as everyone else's. Your kids won't be the same as anyone else's nor will siblings even be the same. Some of the things we've learned and used WRT my son do not apply and/or are not necessary for my daughter. Different people with different issues.

Oh... you'll start out asking your parents for advice about it until you feel competent as a parent. Then, you'll square off with them on a parental authority argument/discussion. I guarantee it.

Manedew · « **Reply #69 on:** October 21, 2002, 02:29:10 PM »

Sand-
I thought you were assuming I pulled the parent/drinking thing outta my ass, and had no experiance with it. So I felt it nessarcy to show where I draw my feelings and opinions from

(S)
just tired of other peoples opinions being made into laws.

My morals are that of the right wing religious fanatics because I don't want my teenage daughter doing drugs, drinking alcohol and surfing porn sites??? LMAO "shame" and "guilt?" Try "self respect" and "integrity," Thrawn- those are my weapons of moral teaching, not shame and guilt.

I'm amazed you could make an assumption about my religious values because I don't want my child engaging in inappropiate and risky behavior. You are the one who brought up Christianity- all I did was wonder out loud how a 15 year old could have unsupervised access to the Internet and state that my 17 year old does NOT have unsupervised access to the Internet. I don't preach, Thrawn, but I try to be the best parent I can be. Unfortunately kids don't come with owners' manuals so I'm not sure if I'm being too strict or not- but if I err I'd rather be too strict than too lenient.

Manadew, I assumed nothing- I reacted to your statement stating your desire to provide alcohol to your future children. To paraphrase, that's a stupid idea. Now you're using this thread to advocate drug legalization. That's a stupid idea too, BTW, but if I've done a good job as a parent then my child won't be a drug addict. You are right- you are entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to call your opinion "stupid" just as much as you are entitled to call me a "right wing religious fanatic" because I attempt to shield my daughter from drugs and porn.

thanks thrawn, airhead - i finally got done being bored with AH - time away really works.

i'm appearing in the MA as well and next weekend i'll be at shecky's in the catskills...

Manedew · « **Reply #72 on:** October 21, 2002, 03:05:32 PM »

I'm glad you agree with me Air

Wasn't trying to get off topic
( those points were to bring up the thesis of :Opinions should not become Laws: )
because after all porn is something you proably don't want your kid seeing, so couldn't aruge for it easily.
So I play the achohol card which falls under victumless crimes like looking playboy's.

Simply I don't like soical engineering.

don't know how I can explain my POV better...

Thrawn · « **Reply #73 on:** October 21, 2002, 03:31:07 PM »

Airhead, my apologies, I was just winding you up. It was cruel and unnecessary. Oh wait, you think of it as a work of art. Well it DOES have some entertainment value.

I don't think you have issue with with the masturbation itself. I think you have problems with the porn as you consider it exploitive.

ex·ploit Pronunciation Key (ksploit, k-sploit)
n.
An act or deed, especially a brilliant or heroic one. See Synonyms at feat1.

tr.v. ex·ploit·ed, ex·ploit·ing, ex·ploits (k-sploit, ksploit)
1.To employ to the greatest possible advantage: exploit one's talents.
2. To make use of selfishly or unethically: a country that exploited peasant labor. See Synonyms at manipulate.
3. To advertise; promote.

Now I think we are looking at definition number 2.

To which I ask. Do you think it is possible for pornography to be made which was not made selfishly or unethically?

Manedew,

One of my all time favorite song lyrics goes something like this:

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Basically what I'm saying here is that I would bet the ranch and the trailer rent that you will NOT feel the same in 18 - 20 years that you feel today.

I know, cause I used to say the same stupid things.
