"I want to know, when did pornography become art"

There are thousands of examples of erotic and outright pornographic art predating the antiquity period, some fertility figures going back before the written word.

My opinion on the topic has always been that a vice is something that a person allows themselves to have, be it alcohol, drugs, sex or thrillseaking. Any number of things can be damaging if you allow them to consume you, which is why the concepts of self control and moderation are so important in a free society. I've always considered the thought process of blaming the vice ( sex, tobacco, booze, ect) as a scapegoat for accepting personal responsibility for one's actions

Comment:

The enabling of sexual deviates by liberals is one of the many reasons why I dumped the inane, wrong track Democrat party after 20 years of towing the proverbial party line.

Personally, I do not want to have any sort of association with the kinds of people who even come close to supporting the perversion coming out of Hollywood in any way, shape or manner.

Is a so-called free society one where anything goes as long as it feels good to the individual?

Accepting responsibility in my Red State World is being a mature adult parent by making sure that the depraved perverts permeating Hollywood’s movies do not have the chance to destroy my children though the use of sick filth pawned off as having artistic value.

Art to me is not some feces encrusted canvas fawned over by narrow-minded sick elitist’s wannabes with no common sense.

Nor are photos of two men in the throws of stimulating one another while in a San Francisco bathhouse.

Moreover, of course nor are those kinds of movies showing two grown men packing fudge in their Montana sleeping bag.

It was not that long ago that some kinds of so-called art were an exclusivity of those mature enough to understand what they were seeing.

I make no excuses for how I feel about these low life scumbags.

I do not want them or their sorry excuses for amusement around my family.

In my opinion, most of the enlightened people living in New York City and Hollywood would not know stand-up from squat about what constitutes good art.

The art I saw in some of the galleries the last time in New York City would not be worthy of hanging on an Oklahoma outhouse wall.

Unless of course this outhouse was used by Metrosexual sheepherders, so inclined as to watch movies such as Broke Back Mountain and hang out in the pasture on Saturday night trolling for girlfriends.
