what they perceive to be such out of character political behavior, I guess, in people who are otherwise so this-that-or-the-other.

Yes, indeed, one can certainly wonder why someone who is pro-choice, who supports the right of consenting adults to make their own decisions about sex and their own bodies, all of a sudden turns on a flippin' dime, yo, and the minute that those consenting adults are in front of a camera that is turned on, those "so-called progressives" suddenly continue to support the right of consenting adults to make their own decisions about sex and their own bodies!

Like. Whaaaaaaaaatthefuckisupwiththat?

Or someone who believes in the first amendment, all that choosy-choice "freedumb" nonsense and whatnot... as soon as you're talking about fucking on film, why, they still yarble that irritating blather about freedom of speech.

THAT'S SOME SEEEEERIOUS FUCKIN' HYPOCRISY, MAN.


They should take a cue from the true progressives, you know, the people who ostensibly believe in liberal progressivism, personal autonomy, and secular open government, while opposing the religious right... until some creep buys a dirty magazine (do they even have those, anymore?) at which point Phylis Shlafly and Ed Meese and Rick Santorum magically become the GREATEST DEFENDERS OF LIBERAL VALUES EVAH

Yes, that's rather silly. But why get up in arms about it? nomorenomore08 Nov 2013 #19
I'm not up in arms. Bonobo Nov 2013 #20
