One thing that I would have to say, which I think agrees with Abi if I'm understanding what she's saying, is that it's not just about being able to avoid the pornography...it's still out there. There are some people who look at, enjoy it, and participate in it...there are other people who have nothing to do with it...but that doesn't make it invisible in their lives. Like Abi said, whether or not you look at porn, it's still shoved in everyone's faces, and it still has an impact on how a person views him or herself. One person could understand that she is beautiful for who she is, but still have in the back of her mind that that's not what other people are thinking about her because their views are tainted by society's view of the "perfect" person. Now, granted, we aren't supposed to worry about what other people think about us, and I'm pretty sure that many people can say that they don't the majority of the time, but we all know that there are always times that we do.

Okay, I don't know if this makes any sense at all...I'm having a hard time getting my thoughts down this early in the morning. Anyway, that's my piece. Have a great weekend!

- I agree Adam, and I hereby appoint you as debate coordinator. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to post a topic that you want to know opinions about and let the debating commence. That's if you want to though.. I think you might be able to come up with better topics than I will. So, why don't you get on that? :) (NT) -- Lindsey, 19:53:05 03/07/03 Fri
