| I love weapons as well, and while I don't own any guns, I would like to someday, just like yourself jkrane. However, I collect hand to hand weapons- fixed blade tactical knives, fixed blade neck knives, tactical folders, EDC folding knives, knuckle dusters (aluminum, brass, polymer), stiletto switch... |

| First off all, I want to set the mood straight off the bat- this post isn't a atheistic or agnostic tirade against God (and when I saw "God" in this context, I'm talking about the God of the Bible, of Christianity and Judaism)- Yahweh, God the Father, Jesus, etc). The point of this post is to share ... |

| V, I'm betting money you will ditch the faith soon. You're already in that stage where you can no longer go back to the intellectually happy peaceful days of being a believer. There is a difference between completely ditching the faith and being angry at God because you don't understand why certain... |

| I think that basing your entire thesis on assumptions derived from a book of largely apocryphal stories that have been passed down from ignorant, illiterate nomads since the Early Bronze Age renders the entire thesis laughable, to say the least. You are entitled to your opinion and way of thinking.... |

LKL wrote: Men are subjects in traditional porn; they are active, they 'do something' to the women, who are passive objects which have something done to them. That is literal objectification.
Precisely my point. |

| It's not about emotions, but it's not about male dominance either(in most cases). It's about a business of physical sex in scenarios that are aimed at a target audience. I might need to dig up where I read it, but it sounds like the current studies are proving that the female sex drive is not emoti... |

| You proceed from a flawed premise. In the Garden, Adam and Eve were preserved from any disease or disorder. They (supposedly) could have lived forever. When they sinned, sickness and death entered the equation. This is why some people get a raw deal from birth and others do not. Not because God is ... |

| As much as I agree with the basic tenets of feminism I think those who have an agenda against porn generally give feminism a bad name. Have they seriously never heard of gay porn? What about the poor oppressed little guys in midget porn?! I barely ever see women in my porn, so I have no idea where ... |

| Before I begin my beliefs, I'd like to state the status of my religious beliefs: I am a Christian by belief who is struggling with aspects of his faith. I am not an atheist, nor am I an agnostic. That being said, I will commence with my analysis of Christianity and Autism: I will try to sum up the m... |

What I have learnt is to actually tell him clearly what I need emotionally from him and why. He appreciate... |

| I don't believe romance is defined by commitment or sex. I think you'll find it's a relationship that's normally defined by commitment or trust of some kind, and possibly but not necessarily sex. That's why I stated "potential sexual commitment". Not all couples engage in sex when they start dating... |
