WOD money should go to fund Social Security?
Might as well say NASA money or Federal Highway Money. None of it was ever earmarked for social security and is not the reason for Social Security's ever increasing retirement age. It is a pyramid scheme and was never to be permanent.

I choose not to watch the pornography that is available at the hotel I'm staying at. Most others do the same. Why don't you mind your own business?

It's easy to believe that these groups just want to govern what you watch but the issue is much more complex than this.
No, it's pretty much them wanting to stop adults from watching other adults perform activities they don't approve of.
To: TheBigB
Don't lie... YOU STAYED AT A HOTEL LAST NIGHT, DIDN'T YOU??? I admit it freely. Actually, I went to several, in search of one of those coin-operated vibrating bed thingies. Just as I suspected, there wasn't a single one to be found.
Evidently, these folks have completed their eradication of the 25-cent "massager" and have moved on to other targets. They are *insidious*.

LOL! Well, I know what the circle-and-bar "No Smoking" sign looks like. As for the other, perhaps they could use a pic of Bill Clinton with the circle and bar.Hey, he WANTED a legacy...

I liken it to sewage spigots. You turn them on and it spews all over you and the floor and runs out of the window and under the door to the sidewalk. Then you walk out all covered in it and get everything dirty wherever you go.
It is not as simple as a benign individual choice. The availability of this particular kind of "choice" is one of the players in the trashing of our culture. It is a more hidden kind of "broken window" effect. Pornography says, "People are not people...people are body parts...they are objects to be used." A steady diet of this does not fail to affect the individual and those around him.

That's precisely why I didn't provide the chain with free advertising. To quote a guy named Paul from the first century:
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love...So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature...The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; ... I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

To: weegee
That's just one example but you obviously got my point. The resources wasted on the WOD could be used elsewhere more effectively. The losses of freedom brought on by the WOD are another example of it's destructiveness.
This isn't a thread about that tho so let's drop it. Sorry.
To: weegee
"It is one thing to prohibit such activity, it is quite another to encourage it.
"
Oh, please. Sexual activity is a normal aspect of humanity. Hotels tend to bring it out, either in solitary guests or couples.
I'm being totally facetious with this whole thing. Trying to separate guests from their sexuality is pretty ridiculous.
It's even harder to clean up bodily fluids from fabrics. They wash the sheets daily, but the rest of the bedding is unwashed for several days...even longer.
The availability of porn in the rooms has little to do with it.

Jeeze. And I'll be staying at a hotel this weekend. I wonder if I can learn to hover zen-style over the bed while sleeping.

Do you understand the DOJ statue issue? The media was playing their games framing bare breasts next to Ashcroft's head.
The statue itself was not the issue, it was the prominence in the photos the press chose to run. It is hardly a well composed image.

Maybe the hotels should place some complimentary hand cream and kleenex next the beds as well.

IMHO, having them turned off should be the default for any room that has minor children registered to stay in them. They should be able to offer it, but they should have to take some precaution that they are not peddling porn to children.Sounds like a perfect job for the market to handle, not the government.
To: Steel Wolf
I go for the middle ground that it is legal to offer it but disgusting to stay overnight at a sex motel.

They are getting ready for a good olde fashion book burning party. But remember no alcohol, no music and no dancing and you women stay out of sight, and keep covered up. Where have I seen this before.

Why are modern arms protected but not modern forms of speech and expression? (I trust that you will answer once you've spent some time working on your ConLaw skills.)
