Abi, I'd suggest attacking commercials, magazines, fashion industry, commercials and other advertisements before calling pornography dangerous. The public media through corporate functionality is the biggest threat to internal american life and issues of self-confidence/respect/image. -- *Starry starry night*

In reply to: Abi 's message, "Ohhh....there is sooooo much to be said about porn. I think that it is extremely dangerous in our society. The more we objectify other people, the less we respect ourselves. If we want to be respected as women for whatever size or color or body shape we have, we can't support an industry that promotes sexism and reinforces every negative gender stereotype we have for both men and women." on 15:52:19 03/03/03 Mon

Uh.. Adam.. you're barking up the wrong tree there. If there's one person that knows how women are objectified in the media PERIOD, it's Abi... (NT) -- Lindsey, 16:39:50 03/04/03 Tue
- Oh jesus christ, I wasn't saying she was wrong. You obviously didn't thoroughly read what i had to say. (NT) -- Adam, 17:03:33 03/04/03 Tue
  - And you obviously need to get off the defensive. You also didn't read my reply for what it was... I was simply letting you know that you were about to start a debate. This girl knows her stuff and I was letting you know that. But, whatever. (NT) -- Lindsey, 19:08:02 03/04/03 Tue
    - LOL, There's no defensive going on here. I don't think it was your place to "prepare" me for the debate that will ensue, which I'm sure will happen and i'm actually excited for it to take place elsewhere than on your board. (NT) -- Adam, 23:55:34 03/04/03 Tue
