LoL not making my case huh?

First and foremost let us get something straight you don't know me and I don't know you. We all, in one point or another have had bad experiences with the same sex, and opposite sex. Some have had interracial problems and some with intra-racial problems. I don't know if you're a male or female, but if I could count the amount of women in my life who were trash and the women I see everyday who are also trash I would run out of fingers, and would need to borrow the rest the members of RF.

But I wont sit here and generalize and say most women because I don't know most women. I have had the pleasure of seeing courageous women in action (most recently RF rahkel who has my utmost respect) as well as men. I have also witnessed the opposite on both sides. Now, I don't know how old are you in comparison to me but let me just say that regardless of the negative experiences you have had there is no reason to put people in a box. Its unfair and an illogical thing to do.

As far as myself is concerned you can think how you want. You can call me the biggest ******* here, and I wont kid myself some of you guys do here. It doesn't matter. I know who I am when I stop typing here and get back to real life. I am one of the most giving human beings that has existed on this planet that doesn't ask for a dime back. I am about humanity. But all you see are words here and because I am not making a case to be nice to you, you can maintain that ignorant mentality. At the end of the day, you nor anyone else here pay my bills, wash my butt, or pay my tuition. Take how you want to take this comment I don't give a $*@&.

If I can get over 30 years of prejudice and racism you can get over your general views of pornography and your view of men. But ironically for someone who is supposedly college educated, you have a weak personality. Then again I am a dick right?

Slow your roll. I never said I thought you were a dick. :no:

I do blame myself for one thing. My remark to your avatar was mostly in a joking manner which may have helped if I used emoticons. I really don't care if you like Miley Cyrus and want her as a play friend. I just thought it was interesting in a humorous way.

I am going through a rough time now, so I am not in the mood to get sarcastic/dry humour.

Oh, and none of the girls are Miley Cyrus, btw.

Wait.....I didn't see your gender symbol now I do......Gah that makes it even worse

How does my male gender make it worse?

Alrighty. In that case, yes.

From a structural functionalist perspective in sociology, everything has a function. "If it exists, it has a function."

Manifest Functions (intended purposes)
1) It provides people with a profession and/or hobby.
2) It provides needed sexual release for some people.

Latent functions (unintended, positive outcomes)
1) It produces revenue, benefiting the economy.
2) It provides aspiring, less talented actors another place to go.
3) It provides entertainment for people who may not be interested in porn, but enjoy laughing at bad acting.
4) For some couples with marital issues, it can be a way to spice up the relationship, thereby saving it.

Dysfunctions (negative outcomes)
1) Some would argue that it degrades women (up for debate)
2) It gives men and women unrealistic expectations of their partners
3) It teaches men the wrong way to sexually satisfy their partners (ask a woman)

Its a dead issue with me. Damage is done and I particularly don't care to discuss this. I will just have to now (if I choose to in the future) address you like I address another moderator who is on my crap list.
 
Of course it does, since there is such a huge demand in the society! But I'm not a fan, to be honest. But gee, look around the internet, it's all over.
